I bet you'll get it in an Esso. I have been working in Esso garages for the last 2 months, they have all had FF. I read it there while "working", a shame only 5 cars went to the thrash.

I wasn't in a position to do the Performance Ford one this year and I wasn't asked to the FF one. I hope to be doing them next year. Depends how much the car changes and whether it will be worth entering it.

As it is now it is definitely leagues ahead of how it was when it did 161.2 in 2005 so who knows.

Was thinking about that Tony. You did 161 on std gearing and you now have a healthy chunk of extra power

Hmmmm, are you thinking what I'm thinking?



...





18's?



I'm pretty sure it'll do 167ish as it is. I probably would have done it that day if I did the runs on my own, wipers off, mirrors off etc. You know what I have planned, Rick. IF I go for it and I get more power then I may consider going up a gear size.

Sorry Mr C

In all seriousness, I couldn't touch Mr C top speed wise. He has more power and more bottle than me to push it that far. I would be happy with just a few more mph under my belt.

Plenty of time yet.
