Get the thing finished in early new year.
RR figures on the gas a maybe see the magic 1kbhp.
Have an attempt to beat 206 with me drivin, want to hold the record even if its for 10mins .
Get a pro driver to see what it will do 215/217 on the cards.
Hopefully then all this car shite will be out of my system & I can go & do something else before I turn 65. .
