i personally dont think it will reach 150 down there on proper timing gear BUT you all go on about the brakes on them . if you have ever driven one you will know thatas long as they are working properly they are fookin amazing .

If this was going to be covered by a mag perhaps the lid will be kept shut on it until that issue comes out? Got to say i think Lee's cash is very safe though

Wouldnt have thought a tank like that would do 130 in that distance let alone 150. Unless he had a joker up his sleeve. Recon Porkies moneys safe though.

Any pics of the gumball hillclimb yet???
