from memory both got over 162 last time, think speedos were showing about 170, sounded great at that speed too!

Hi chaps, I've been away fri until today so playing catch up at work. Will be putting another post up midweek to answer the main questions, but...in short:

1. Cheques went in on thursday

2. Balance to be paid in cash on the day please (£40 balance.)

3. Re any car substitutions, if you have paid & wish to bring a different car, let me know, no problem.
However, as Daz said, I do have a reserve list so if you are dropping out then please let me know asap.

4. Re passenger rides, initially runs will be driver & delegated passenger only (until the drivers are 100% happy with what they are doing in terms of braking etc), then passenger rides to other drivers after which point feel free to (politely) ask the drivers if they are going for another run to let you know if they have space. (the only reason I say this is mainly for the extremely generous drivers, Daz in particular who took about 20 passengers out last time & looked like he'd competed in Le Mans at the end!)

5. The rather tasty "mach vmax 15000bhp" caps will be available at £10 each on the day.

6. Ted, hope the car is ok

7. wayhay, less than a week to go.
