You're wrong! The turbo seized - it's quite new so is still on warranty, Dan hopes to get it changed soon!

Good videos btw mate! I think I got one of Jano's runs up the strip - will upload them all tomorrow, bloody knackered now!

Cheers,

Andy

andyhardy, great news! It did sound like it was missing when the camera was on the engine and obviously a turbo wouldn't do that, glad its not too serious!

Dan's Fiesta will be back soon I'm sure - he was waiting for the RAC to pick him up from outside Bruntingthorpe as I left

I asked him if the RAC man might get funny as he was stopped right next to the sign saying 'Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground - Blue Thunder'

Ahh - get what you mean about the video now. I think the engine was hunting for a tickover like a bitch because of the restricted air flow from the turbo!

You guys will love the video Lewis (B19-TRB) took of him launching with my camera - it's like watching a sped up movie like something from Knight Rider but in real life!
