So Santa left me the best gift of all this year - a sock full of coal. Now I can enjoy a little warmth in the house. Better than the box of dirt Martin's mum bought him.  |

With Xmas present money, I've ordered a Dragy which, with the Android app, is a proper car performance measurement tool. dragymotorsports.co.uk/As I first saw being used by AutoTopNL, an excellent car review channel. This shows it being used in anger (terrific review): |

Off-roading, popping over to Germany, or simply advertising the fact that you intend breaking the speed limit quite often, Martin? The perfectly legitimate pursuit of measuring my car's performance, whether it be here or abroad. Always with safety in mind, of course. |

I remember coasting down the autobahn a few years ago in my Saab 900 turbo
Doing 100, might have even been 120mph
This Opel Kadett estate went past us a fair bit faster
We laughed

I drove my old BMW 540i at 150 abroad where it was perfectly safe to do so. Speed is all relative.
Anyway, the assumption that a performance metric tool is all about speed is wrong. There's a whole dimension to getting the tune perfected for smoothness, performance and economy, too.
