Default Acceleration Times, who's up for it?

Ok Chaps, I finally got round to doing a couple of 0-60 runs in the car today as I was curious to see how she's holding up now there is 65000 miles gone by.

I wanted to see how she compared to the listed times on the wiki.

I did two back to back runs on a flat road, one in either direction

Conditions outside was dry with an air temp of 15 Celsius

Inside there was a full size spare in the boot, 3/4 of a tank of fuel, a bottle of Rioja and 8 bottles of Ale and my 14.5 stone lump to carry.

Details matter

Here's what I got below.

Interestingly the 0-100km/h is 1.1s off book speed, which is quite a bit IMO.

So
