OPC's were saying it. Not anyone to do with Vaux.

2nd softest one. Didn't want to mess with it today. But I just read you have adjusted yours to the third hole and the mounting hole to the second one and it's a lot better? I'll have a play tomorrow.

i read some were they had wider track, but tis only because of the lighter wheels offset.

it was the n/a 245bhp honda version, and tbh for brands you simply dont need anything else, very very very impressed and top bloke for taking me out too


Edit: Also i went out in Ojc and rach's Astra 'burg, this is a massively capable car, and so so impressive, ollie particulay doing very well at brands and beeing a more than capable driver, and rach first time out went very well, few tweeks and once again she'll be quicker than ollie much like the pod

so thanks to them for that trip out

You'd love the Ariel factory. Looks like your driveway when J18's in bits, but they seem to actually make progress...
