Me and Helen has a great weekend armed with 5litres of petrol and lighter fluid
It started getting cold so thought have 5 litres of petrol in the car, how can l make use of it, so a couple fetched a big empty barrel over and l went on the hunt for some wood. The pizza lady had a few pallets and was using them as steps to the back of her lorry. So picked it up and carried it over where we kicked the shit out of it and put it in the barrel. Then all it need is 5 litres of petrol and we had loads of heat.
A man from firestation come over as they could see the flames, think the whole of santa pod could see them
Later on we stole another pallet sorry pizza lady but we needed to keep warm.
Was really gutted when in the morning l went over to the toilets and found more pallets just waiting to be burnt
Really good night and to meet the regulars and some new faces

Great week-end / night Quickly it went along the lines of...
Pizza lady complaining her pallet had disappeared, security coming over saying we should hide the remains of the pallet, jim burning his shoes, Faye pulling the pegs out of ollie's tent while they were asleep, Faye running over then tripping over Jim's guy ropes, landing flat on her face behind us and going sheesh, sheesh, sheesh while giggling.
Another pallet being destroyed, security guard coming over and asking if we were burning any more pallets (laughing), warmed his hands over the fire, Dave said it was spitting a bit, security guard says, "I'm used to it, her indoors spits too"
I am sure there are others I have forgotten, but what a superb night.
Security/Fire Brigade/Management at the pod were game and fair play.
Only downside is I now have a stinking cold/flu
Thank you to all that were there for making it such a good night

Faye falling over was comical, she was then crawling round the floor saying sssshhhhh
And she blamed me for her earlier fall
Had a good ride home, nice suprise when we pulled into petrol station and Dave gave me keys for YUM, my ban lifted

I was there yesterday and got a 12.5 @ 106mph. Basic spec is T34, green injectors, 24psi and mapped by MSD.

johnny, that can still be improved on too, i only got 2 runs... the 1st one was used to realise that i had traction
the 2nd one was used to actually give it some throttle off the line.
if id have had more (was v. busy) i coilda got the launch better.
2.1sec 0-60ft... i'm normally 2.5+!
i recon there might be a 14.5 in the girl if driven perfectly (dont think itll go no faster) i think 95mph will be the fastest terminal in an ideal worls (94 is PB sofar)
