PS. I didn't know you were into water-skiing - I've been doing that since I was 11 . Haven't been for a few years though, as I just don't seem to be able to find the time now-a-days .

I was out at 3.20 and I have to say I was fooking ON IT! Car was on road tyres and understeering like a biatch but over the back of the circuit (where there were no spectators ) it was FLYING!

then Renton took it out at 4.20...

Hmm. Seems to be the weak one in the Quaife.

That was the strong set as well!

Porkie -when are we taking the box out then Might ae well get the job done

Guzz I just sold my old style 18s to Lamb Chops But think these 9s are the way forward

Paul - will be well in front of the tangerine in this beast AND have a proper breather system to go with the big sump so wont have to "steal" your oil

Am working on a colour scheme for it.
In Reyland livery, of course, but difficult to find 3 colours to go with the polaris grey.

Was thinking of black stripe & front bumper & maybe the rear bumper as a two colour job
otherwise i was thinking of mixing silver , black & yellow?? on the polaris.

Any thoughts guys ?
