Kiltie! Are you up for a test session for the Busa before Fintray or are you sorted? Put my new chariot through its paces at secret location this morning - still a bit to do on set-up but straight line speed takes the enamel off your teeth. Did an unofficial sub 12 for the measured quarter.... then ran out of petrol! If you can manage end of next week (pm)or weekend I will make arrangements. About 1 1/2 hour tow from yours. It will cost you just £20 which ain't bad as we get a very generous two hours.

Mr K and I are booked on Alford on the 10th (thurs before Fintray), but I am interested in a try out before that, unfortunately I am away from tomorrow until thurs, but a shake down next weekend or the following week would be good.
Let me know when you plan to go and we may be able to share the cost if I am around, Mr K might be interested too if his car is ready.
running out of petrol John - last time I did that it was halfway up the hill at Fintray, very embarrassing

John,
Sorry I haven't replied to this earlier - been balls out at work and travelling a bit.
I couldn't have done your secret location but I'm glad Murray did.
Reports of your motor's performance are impressive.
Some vid of mine to follow.
Look forward to seeing you next weekend.
Cheers,
Eric

I enjoyed the morning with Murray on Saturday. Nice to hear the K series flat out on the wide open spaces. It really does have a nice exhaust rip - a PROPER car. The R1 is nowhere near its full potential powerwise yet, but is probably all an old fool like me will need when I forget to brake in time for the hairpin at Fintray! More goodies arriving from the States should allow me an extra 2000 rpm without goosing the injectors and melting the turbo. Hope your beast is ready in time for Alford testing and the weekend.

Well done! Sounds pretty sweet. Enjoy Alford today and have her in fine fettle for the weekend. Here's hoping it's dry at Fintray, cos some bu..er has nicked one of my wets on its wheel from my (unlocked) garage. Doh! Can you believe that? ONE wheel! Thieves today have no ambition. Still, it should be interesting trying to get off the line without immediately going sideways - or even backwards.... I've got some old 15" wheels with VERY dodgy rubber at a pinch if needs be.
See you Saturday.
See you Saturday.
