Hi Alyn,

All turned up and look great!!!

Sadly a few issues with the car, so decided to leave SSO and make the car right for TA!

not to worry, you'll have no probs being faster than the rest they'll not be able to see for the attack of "blindness".....................nothing better than a secret weapon!! 8)

What a day :x

Managed to get one run, out of the alloted five, on the handling circuit.

Then tried a go at 1/4 mile. First run I went 2nd to fifth :oops: and just left it there :roll:

Second run, guess who's in the next lane? None other than Ollie in the Gobstopper

This time 2nd to 3rd just didn't want to know but eventually forced it in. Parked up and no reverse gear

Heavens opened and even though I'd already packed the car, got soaked walking back to it. :x

Nursed it home and it's now semi broadside across the front of the garage and I can't move it. Good job it has a tow hitch to drag it back off the sloping gravel.

Looks like it's re-build time and more expense.

Caught a glimpse of a silver Supra leaving at the same time as me. Michael H? Nice looking car, if it was, or even if it wasn't

Oops, important bits?

1/4 mile 12.96 ; Terminal 113mph ; What does E.T. mean? Whatever, that was 1.880

Handling circuit: 41.09 and 11th place when I left.

IThanks Mike,

I was looking out for you to say hello and when I spoke to Zak to tell him of my woes, he told me of yours

Sounds like you'll be good for TA next week though, good luck!

Just seen Neil's ad on Snet whilst looking through the ads for a replacement box. Really sad news that he's selling everything off and even sadder, for me, to see I missed his PPG box.
