If you had said you were doing that id have met you at goodbodies for a lovely milky coffee!

I often do the same though im not running my car in lol, driving round plym at 2-5am is quite a subliminal thing, its a bit like yoga in my opinion, no traffic no stress, just time to have a good think and relax.

Doesnt look like i will be coming, as its going to take me 4 days to get enough dough together. I might meet you lot there but its looking doubtfull at the moment

Si, massive amount of respect for you getting your car ready in such a short timescale. Hope you really enjoy your trip now as I think you deserve to

i just had a go on the full 13 mile ring on the '360, on forza 3, managed 9 seconds flat in a standard e36 m3, and then 8:46 in a 530hp supra mk4, which has everything done to it except its running the smallest single turbo and standard 3.0 displacement.

I can see it takes balls to drive that quick on the ring though, having to take hill crests flat out, got all 4 wheels off the road a few times too which catches you out.

only went off 3 times considering its the first time ive ever drove on it (on a game )

Id majorly shit myself irl i think.
