Hi Tim.

What did they do mate and more importantly, what was the damage. I may need a bit of that.

Great torque figure!

Later dude.

Default Bring on Brunters!!

Bruntingthorpe is the key!

Lets all go and have a line up of turboed cars and do a standing qtr mile and a flying qtr mile roll on from 50 Mph (as this is a real road situation) lets see who's box is most rapid! Top speed dont matter but we can do that as there is room at brunters with braking area fitted more to ap calipers than standard but grass and gravel never killed anyone (recently).

Mine cunningly escaped the rolling road although we are all too aware that it has nothing but a £25 BLEED VALVE on it. It's old its tired but it still sings like a goodun! (when there is a gearbox in tow)

Sod the cost lets get to Brunters and give it some heavy right foot action in a controlled enviornment and then we can establish a league table of acceleration for both roll-on speed and traffic light grand prix. }>

In addition can I suggest we book an Ice cream van in case it is that day of the year reserved by the god of Sticky tyres to be sunny! ;)

Finally I have to say sorry for being out of touch for so long. I'm only young and have failed to master having a good job and a social life. :(

Maybe this is why I now have a Landrover to play with. :+
