Combo of my left and right feet.... I PROPERLY launched it. No slipping of clutch... no easing it... just dropped it at big revs! and then felt a RIGHT CUNT

Was driving home from the Combe afterparty when I spotted some pals down the pub.... had a swift Red stripe and thought I would drop car back and then a mate asked for a quick demo... he has a Ferrari F430 and so I thought I would put on a special show....

Oh well...

Blame the Redstripe... and the CUNT of a driver!

Martins never seen anything like it and seemed impressed

that looks like something ive seen before where the exhaust mounted to the gearbox caused the case to bust open on big acceleration, its a shocking idea really when you think about it.

after i saw it happen i subsequently modded mine to mount off the body completely.

shame about the box though.

It has nothing to do with the exhaust hanger but more to do with....



Yes Lee that's your rear diff You launched it and the diff broke but locked up at the same time, all that new found power had to get out somewhere... Hence the centre diff casing etc bought it.

Easy, Red Stripe is our Nick's most favourite tipple ever, so Lee's not alone, there are at least two in his drinking 'gang' LOL

Bad luck mate on a serious note, looks painful on the wallet!
