Or he got trounced and the guy took his money which is why we ain't seen him shouting anything


Highly unlikely tho, most probably it never happened cos the guy saw sense and realised he ain't got a hope in hell of even getting to 150mph...

I booked Brunters and was ready with the Datron...
The guy didn't get back to Lee.
So we used the day to do some mapping on the Sierra instead

Was a bit of a shame as I spent the winnings in advance on a 'special' night out!

DOH!

Surely a Granny Cos wouldn't achieve 150mph on the clock never mind a genuine 150mph on the road

150mph on the clock on the ROAD is very very different from a Genuine 150mph at Brunters.
