Default Well today went well..........

With 3 runs and each one being a 12.5? @ 111mph, you cant say i'm not consistent.
And to top it all off, leaving pod, my PAS belt snapped, which took one of the alternator belts out, so i had to nurse it home with no PAS and keeping a constant eye on voltage to check the remaining alt belt was holding in there, then my brand new front towing eye cover either fell off, or got robbed, and then, to top off my outstanding day, i think i case of oil pump failure was in order, so now my engines fubar'd too, and i had to get towed home. Sweet.

Ace day otherwise! lol

Yeah, its knocking from the top and the bottom, i did nurse it from Birmingham to Shrewsbury knocking a little, but then it got a whole lot worse, so i decided to knock it on the head and tow it!

Danster, it didnt want to launch today, new tyres seem to be gripping too well somehow, was skipping a little off the line, which was scary and threatening certain transmission death! lol

Off the road now until next April, get her sorted out properly.

That's a shame mate. Still, rebuilding it will give you something to do and keep you busy!
12.5's were a sweet note for it to go out on lol

Fair play to you

Nightmare mate. At least when its built you will have peace of mind. Just get the money spent fella its only money at the end of the day. 12secs is quick for a fully trimmed road car.
