Don't get confused Trev its all very simple.

Called a halt to Topspeed running on doctors orders. A TGA is caused by Stress & Adrenaline & I don't want another .
The 1000bhp development engine was stopped in July so I could decide what to do as I was told to take things easy. We will continue with that in November. Its not & never was going in my car.
A lesser 800+ dry sumped engine using a EFR8190 will be used in my road car.

You are not right in saying I have not driven my car at 200+mph I got within .5mph of The masters record. I was over 60 he was under 40 .
4 of 11 fastest runs were by a senile oap .

Hope that clears that up but I will get the same old shite again im sure
