Dont spend my whole life on here as im doing the final prep on the car so cant answer the questions, not trying to be awkward just very busy.
For those that asked the 5th gear run is on Thursday 13th October.
Rod
ps. Drove the car in its Final Spec today it really is fast, noticably quicker than before, when it did 210. Surprised at the ammount of grip the new tyres have on the 19" wheels.

Prices of which can be found on my website .

The car looks fantastic on those wheels - so subtle that I bet peeps will think that Fifth Gear are playing an early April fool when they report that a "taxi" went faster at Bruntingthorpe than every single car / bike ever tested there, bar a Mclaren F1 .

I'm going to a topspeed shootout over here next week - 1 mile roll on - 1 mile recording and one mile braking - will be interesting to see how the americans do it. I dont know if they take the average speed over the mile though - that will be tough. I know some turbobusas are going that are friends of friends - they want to be the 1st to get a 300lb guy over 200 at one of these comps lol

Good luck rod - and someone record this for me while i am away!

Good luck Mark and Rod... Can't wait to hear the news.

Rod, you sure that all those stickers won't slow you down, even with 850bhp
