You should sell the box now for a grand, condition unknown to someone who likes gambling.
If its ok they get a bargain, if its not then thats the gamble they take

It was the launch to end all launches..... 
It made one of Rocket Ronnies launches look like your Grandma pulling away from the post office

I just came off it.... FAST
I also got the revs slightly wrong.... instead of 5000rpm ish... I seemed to have dialed in about 8500rpm....
As I said it was a proper launch...
I am blaming the Red Stripe!
This is definately one of my most expensive pints of lager thats for sure!

The question is: will it be as expensive as the first ever 'Red Stripe incident' on the way back from Bedford several years ago involving a rather 'spirited' drive along the A14

ok fair comment, 8500 and no slipping is pretty brutal.

i'm assuming at those revs with your power it would have span up all 4 wheels [what front diff?]
It tastes real good and has the added bonus of getting me more work on a regular basis

Hope its not to expensive to fix looks like it might be
By the sound of it if Porkie stops drinking redstripe the money saved will be enough to build him a Reyland Escort
