No thanks. Too many n@bs in 300bhp T6s.

I'm not really sure the relevance of that comment?

 

[LpeppsT6]

I’m going tomorrow but mines only 200bhp

 

[Peatey]

thank god mines only 150, perhaps im half a 'n@b'
i go most years (but not this) and try to go on a thursday or friday to miss the crowds

204.
That extra 4bhp makes a world of difference. (well it would in inches)

 

[DaveyB]

Doesn’t the 204 equate to PS? Ie the European measure called pferdestrke (horse strength). So 200 BHP is almost bang on.

PS to BHP = 204 x 0.986 = 201 bhp
BHP to kW = 201 x 0.7457 = 150kW

Now you're just splitting nats pubes.
Plus tell the media reports on most of the T6 reviews that it's PS and not BHP, me, I'm sticking with what my salesman said, because he's always honest.

Ha, you must have bought yours from Honest John Motors then.
The VW Transporter brochure says 150PS and 204PS though.
But don’t you think it’s weird how we Brits just automatically swap PS for BHP?

Don’t reckon you’ve mastered using a calculator yet @Fish.

 

[Fish]

Nah.. it was just another pointless post.

That's not a brit thing, it's a man thing. We all exaggerate sizes in all aspects of life.

Evening gang plenty of the t6 gang here at Goodwood festival of speed. Pic's to follow plenty of other treats like spitfire just taken off. Stunning.
