McLaren Topspeed Record finally broken! 241.1mph at Nardo!
Yes its taken 10 years but a road car has finally gone faster than the God like McLaren 
9ff's new 9F-V400 (silly name) did 241.1mph (exactly 1mph faster than the macca)
Thats properly going man! they reckon thats about it for Nardo so are going elsewhere to try 400kph! (almost 250mph!)
Fairplay to Zeee Germans! thats properly going

Tiff, the only modification made to the macca was the removal of the rev limiter to allow it to reach those speeds.
Although the Macca did it at the VW testing facility not Nardo, so i'm not entirely sure what Porkie is getting at.. A modified, not strictly road legal car beats a standard, road legal car.. I think it will have to do more than 241.1mph to get any sort of record in that stakes (Thrust SSC anyone??
)

Fuck me, check out the cheapo 25quid halfords screw together (ie not even allen key) dumpvalves
Looks like the one on the right isnt far from popping off either, lol.
Them bits of crap were hard enough to screw together without splitting the diagphram
I got one in the shed if anyone wants it
