Fantastic

Brilliant fun and I managed to get good times on my 2 runs.

13.72 at 110mph was my best.
(Beating a newer tuned Celica GT4).

Bearing in mind mineis a completly standard 500 I was dead impressed. The most difficult thing was getting traction on the launches. First and second gear was all wheelspin.

I love it and want some more!
So where can I get some slicks?

And what comes after that?
Huge back tyres?
Side fire spitting exhausts?
Nos?
Wild paint job?
'chute brakes?!
Large pot of hairgel and some good ole rock and roll?!!!

Thorney Island was a great event and all the real Hot Rodders were a good lot.

whoooa there!
I havent got any money left for anything yet.

For now Im gonna have to just grow a mullet/quiff and write out a shopping list.

No Nos for me though. That brylcream will provide all the aerodynamic advantages to get me ahead of the Nos hard tops

Perhaps I could use the P21S car wax in my hair for long lasting shine!
