hi guys, due to some of the higher speeds the timing guys missed the odd few cars, also sometimes numbers more visible than others depending on which side you were on. I have no reason to doubt what you saw on the timing boards & will amend accordingly, cheers.

Nik, 169 on the dial reflecting a real 167 is massively encouraging; does this mean that indicated speeds in the region of, say, 180, are equally accurate in reality? If so, the awe rightly accorded must needs be considerable. What a phenomenal sports saloon: data like this reassures me greatly along the harsh roads of badly surfaced Albionism that characterises a post-Lexian existence. By the way, do you know how to restore the chrome ends of the quad exhausts? Mine look perpetually fried?

mine too for some reason, was guna hav a go with some autosole (sp) but havn't got around to it yet, busy changing these after Sunday.....



that'll be half a pad then

PS - thx for the amendment Craig!

Don!! Must try harder mate....beaten by a woman!

Did Emm really see 160mph? I think mine might have got there but at 150mph it had *really* run out of puff by the time timing beacons came along - perhaps if I'd tried Tony's braking technique...and I quote....

"I'm not even going to try to to make the corner..."

Did GavinR post a speed with the roof up ?

[Gavinr]

I posted 154 with the roof up 147 down. Could not get it past 150 roof down, even when crouching on the floor. Must be my big head.

Gav, would have been happy to take you out in the Griff! Speaking of which it broke down on me last Sunday in Brighton with a knackered drive belt, only 10 miles from where I live so not a problem and I was just thankful it didn't happen at VMAX a week earlier!

The day after the 21st I was telling myself that I wouldn't go again but now that's completely gone out of the window. Been told at work that I should be getting a bonus soon and that could go on any number of things but I'm getting tempted to get on the phone to a certain Mr Adams...

Cheers - Chris
