205 is the Target. thats a long way past 201.8. Need loads of horses to make progress at 200mph. Who knows may not go any faster than before wont know till its tried, my aim is to pass 200 so 200.1 will do for me, i want to collect my Fuel allowance that im due at Christmas . Do you lads realise how crazy it is for an old guy to attempt 200 in such a confined space with my blood pressure probs, im not supposed to put my self under any stress .
