Dingy, you should be mid 8s in your car i would have thought.

Two friends i was with last time were both running the 8:40s, one in a not very modified golf fwd 1.8T and the other in a totally standard M3

Getting under 10 mins is a doddle in more or less any car, a guy on the vauxhall forum i use did 9:14 in a 1400cc nova, with probably not much over 100bhp.

Sorting the rear arms and a few other overdue upgrades on the Taxi and then make a final decision on these fooking T1R's.

How did you get on with yours Steve, i meant to ask Wednesday but you always looked busy......

Traffic is your issue.

I ran many a lap where the speed was better than my fastest time, however the traffic at certain points would spoil the time. I was regularily running in the 8:20's lap after lap with traffic however something around 8 on the head was available if the car was given a clear track.

Sub 10 is a piece of p!55 in a car that you know.

Paul had an intimate appointment with Jack!! He couldn't take his lips of Jack all night. He even made Kim get her lips round him too!

If you've never been round the track don't time yourself just enjoy it... You may find yourself pushing the car to far ...

I recommend one sighting lap and then time every other.

Don't chase the clock, just time them all. This means when a decent one comes round, you have a time under your belt.

I'd LOVE to go there during a quiet day
