Thats what I meant by "this time". I noticed you seem to have been rather a lot!

Any chance of a passenger ride in the Porker?
This seems like the perfect opportunity to break me in to Herbies.

I said HerBies!

Dont you have some kinda nice polished clock in the centre of your dash?
Id be careful of it if I were you, especially when giving Craig a lift!

worth remembering that the bottom corner is rutted to hell too so powersliding round it sideways is going to be an excercise in bouncing.

Much better going sideways on the rest of the track coming back where it's smoother and your tyres won't get peeled off the rims

Right colour?
(Wrong badges/plate though and probably wrong wheels too!)

One final thing ladies & gents.

Dont forget to take a look over your cars prior to sunday.

Please check the usual, coolant, oil levels, tyre pressures, tyre condition and don't forget, a clean car is 1mph quicker than a dirty one

Ta ta kiddos.

Bl00dy hell, thats a monster. I'll have to see if I can blag a ride in that thing - 650lb ft+ vs 2000kg should make for an interesting battle

It is now unfettered!

I took it down a local runway (don't ask) yesterday and thought "ball$!!" the limiter was cutting in at 160 mph. In fact, it was changing into 5th gear....snigger...and it was still pulling like the Evening Star.

Went to pick up the CSL yesterday too, and was a bit disappointed quite how far back the little 6 pot wonder was when I stretched the 1,000 NM on the Howler.

...and it is getting looser by the day. Sunday ......

Whilst you're talking to them Craig a power cut would be useful to knock out the noise measuring equipment.

It would be nice if they could resurface it period Craig.

Just imagine what that track would be like with a surface like a new road.....amazing.

However, I reckon the cost would run into millions....

There's no official limit, but the Stradale and the two F355s were just a little bit LOUD on the last couple of vmaxes
