I think you got up in the 9's though. Me and Katrina were up by the 6's (am) and I only got near the 10s on the saturday night, whereas you lot were in the 12s

unfortunately I havent got access to cuzzas run in the elise, but I will put it up later if I get a chance. The video quality isnt that great but DustyC is out with me and cuzza tonight and handing over some video that may be better. For now, this is me and Dusty racing each other, wheelspin isnt that clear but you can see how slowly the cars move away due to the spinning...

dave, tis only friendly banter, not arguing with you.
c..


Sorry, just re-read my post, it was a bit argumentative. Not my intention.

shnozz said:
oh, and cuzzas time was 14.7, not 13...

I would like to try and get in the 13's as that is the pub talk figures. Cuzza was not too far off the official times at all, which suggests he picked it up far better than I did.


Ah right, well very respectable anway.

12 Shandys was it?

My Mate Nigel's buying my car off me in May. I chatted to him about Thorney Island and he's gonna bring the S1 111s and i'll bring the S2 111s. Mrs Fish brings 111r and we'll see about answering some questions....

Nothing wrong with man boobs. In fact they are very fashionable item amongst Griff drivers since its a nice place to nestle the medallion.

BTW: Seen the very very end of "Dodgeball" yet?

I have a video of the wet T-shirt contest too. Its already on my PC aswell (I watch it everytime Ali goes out) but I think its probably gonna get this thread closed if its hosted!

BTW: You cant have the video tonight as its in the camera bag with the camera which I dont have!
Give it the full year and I'll have it

More likely 2 shandies. I dont think I was actually drunk, I think it had something do do with what they put in the chicken burgers.

13.7 sceonds.....Standard 1.8 Elise.....Thats bloody good!


The 13.79 was by HarryW in his TVR S something which has been somewhat fettled (on the cheap without changing the fanbelt it would appear )

I heard there were some bearded ladies in the wet T shirt contest, now I understand!

mmmmmmm. I have always wanted breasts. Would never get any work done mind you. So, in that sense, PH is like a pair of breasts...
