fantastic achievement
i can remember so many people saying it was easy, they were going to build one faster, blah, blah, blah. it never happened as it is not as easy as they all thought. respect to you and mark.
that 5th gear episode was - as they say in modern parlance - epic
Thanks for the tip on my English its a weak point but remember im a Hampshire lad it didnt matter

Many thought it was easy because they didnt understand the maths of it.
Before Martin ran i received a few PM's telling me his car was so much faster to 100mph it would 'piss' the record. I knew it had no chance with 700bhp of beating the record or indeed reaching 200mph. 6 runs later he did & i got stick for saying it could not be done. However Martin later admitted he had fitted a GT40/94 for that last run giving perhaps another 30bhp he ran 200.2mph Maths proved correct
