im not really sure what was going on with it. it might have ran quicker as i got towed away by the alvis at about half 4, but up till then it did a few 14's and a 13.8 very strange.

Its actually down to the fact its a flat4 engine,same as the beetle.So fits nicely in the small space
Scooby engines are all also a favourite.

yeah i just think it was a little bit too bumpy really. i found the left lane better slightly. good day out as you say, and the fact it was a whole 15 miles to drive or so. my mate with the legnum lives in kirkbride so it took him about 60 seconds to get there. supposed to be there again today but kinda slept in.

i did go today yeah. changed the shaft in the car which was abandoned at the rolling road on the edge of the airfiled, then went for some runs. 12.2 i managed in the damp. most impressively for me was the terminal speed which i got a 131mph. beat an rs4 when it was raining while wheelspinning the length of the track in 3rd then 4th gear. crap weather, food was good though and had a laugh again.
theyre doing it again on the 1st and 2nd of august. fella was handing out mini flyers. the announcer referred to me 'here comes that car with the green wheels again'
guess its what its known for i suppose. someone asked if id sell it today. i had to say no.

around 2ish. was on the strip for about half 2. did 14 runs i think. mostly in the rain at the end though just pissing about wheelspinning a lot.
131 is well good. beats my previous terminal yesterday or 127, and my best at crail of 129.
managed about 5 runs at 12.3 in the damp aswell which is nice. one day, possibly, i hope it will see an 11.
