Had my first long drive in the beast last night from TV to MK. It was wet but the acceleration is gob smacking. I have to be careful that the grin doesn't meet round the back of my head and my skull falls off. The new suspension seems to have done the trick in that the it squats down a little but just goes. The roar on full chat is breathtaking. The car was very quick last year but this time it is like nothing I have ever driven. The car just pulls and pulls. Hit the throttle and the windscreen just smashes you in the face. With the new rev limits meaning slightly higher in gear speeds, I'm hoping it might crack sub 8 seconds for 0-100 mph.

Hows that? Did you have it in reverse?

To think, you chastised ME for having a modified wedge

Good luck in '04

Stig, not reverse, but the car accelerates so fast the windscreen folds back

BTW did you manage to sell your wedge?
