Still a work in progress


Today I went and got this after work, time to get jiggy!

are you not scared something will get into the clutch?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Well what a DAY!

I was blessed with a weekend off at the last min! So what better way to spend it with my wife ! At pod *wink*

So working off the info I had gained from MITP, I played with the car on Saturday and sorted some bits out. So a quick test drive and all was good, it was making very good power! So I loaded it up.

Sunday we set off to pod and when we got there it looked like it was going to rain *oh well* so I went and paid up.

First run - felt like it went really well and all was good, boom a new PB 13.67 at 104mph
Second run - felt even better ! Learning how to work it again WoW a better PB 13.29 at 112mph!
Third run- OMG this was the ONE, all was as it should be! Shit The Bed Ned, An even better PB 13.18 at 110mph

Then I got pulled in " you need a helmet before you run again" said the fat oily fireman "dam it's at home in the loft" I say !

Not to be beaten! off we go to find a skid lid, none to be found then I seen some in a shack where the kid racers work out of, "So you don't ask you don't get" the old boy say if it fits you can lend it *smiley* so like Sanka from Cool Runnings I was back in the fight *happy*

But as I have been learning to drive it from the noise, this helmet was pissing on my chips *oh well* it just was not flowing and the 4th was a 13.53 5th 13.69 6th 13.75

Then as I finished my last run it started raining what a Mega day!

Oli some cars that would of caught your eye *wink*







And a RWD corvette landrover!

Cool, 2.19 60ft, was that on 048s?

That's got to be one of the quickest 60ft's for a FWD A series turbo Mini on road tyres?
