Mine started to clean itself when I was overtaking a nice clean car on the Knowsley Expressway yesterday

don't think he was too chuffed

Looked in my rear view mirror to see a few big clumps of clay bouncing along the road behind me

Pulls are under the scuttle Adam, so when ad is out on track, he takes off the left scuttle panel and they are open, but are hidden for the road.

I have yet to clean mine proper, but i will be doing so when i get it back from having the cam fitted. I know i've got quite a bit of work in the engine bay to sort to...there's crap everywhere!

aye...looks god awful when its off, but tbh, its a good idea, so thats fair enough. Although...im not sure how much road use it will be getting after the drive to and from PVS nearly killed him!

he was falling asleep because of the reverberating engine noise at 3.5k on the motorway for 2 hours!

i was behind him watching him moving all over the lane and not paying attention when he was moving around lanes.

i drove that cunting thing in the dark once.... flames backfiring out the TB's visable through where the fan thing went through the bulk head.

Doesnt have much creature comforts.

I'm planning on driving my impreza (stripped bare with more cage and very short gearing) 600miles to Brands

5.5k rpm for 12hrs my god

lmao...ah ya see...its the car! Well adam was moaning for weeks before, and days after

he took me out in it the other day (about time having helped him with it for 2 years or so...) and it is a hooligan, but its such good car...and is gonna be right at home when we are at Oulton/Anglesey. I have told him that its an amazing car and after our lil drive the other day, i think he may have realised that it is certainly a potent machine!

yea...it sounds feckin ace!

he's got the twin 40's...so it sounds amazing. I've got the R1's on my SEH, but with the two parked together, his has got that little bit more and im jealous quite frankly...because i want mine to sound that good.

He can chuck it and out of the corners, it pulls itself along brilliantly. It didnt look quick up the 1/4 strip, but believe me, give it some twisites and it can carry the speed from the straight brilliantly.

16 dead was the best time. But he was getting bad starts. its like mine...it doesnt like being launched. have to move off normally and then boot it once you are in the power band.
