Are you allowed passengers at the Pod? Don't think you are to be honest

You could ask for a ride in the dryer machine thing, probably the only car to get a run in anyway

Fookin shut up Phil you 'glass half empty' merchant

If you are allowed passengers i shan't be taking any unless the meter is running Only problem is that the car will know there is a fare inside and proceed to take a 3 mile detour to do the quarter

If they sat in the back and then jumped out at the 60ft marker then it might help with traction off the line without being a weight penalty once you are properly moving, we could be onto something here lads.


I can just see it now, a huge power full throttle 6Krpm launch in a rwd cossie followed by two fat brummies bailing out the rear passenger doors 1.8 seconds later
