Bhozer, I'm sure you're gutted that you didn't spend all day at sunny shakey for that missed photo opportunity.

MLP, Wow your eyesight is really good and YES IT IS SMALLER

One day you might spell my name right Yeah, I was well gutted I wasnt cold, wet and fed up with not getting any runs, hehe.

Perhaps yours is smaller as they know you have too many of them already, and youre running out of space.

Nah Alex found that on the official piccy takers site. Still waiting to see if new mini mag will supply Alex with the photos they took on the day of our cars....even if one does involve me looking like a gibbon

Several people have told me Santa Pod is slower as it runs uphill.

Oh, the big thing that should make a difference is I am going to replace my serpentine belt. Its done almost 20k miles and its been slipping for a while.

Dont believe the hype, they are miles apart as race tracks, but then again if you haven't got any horsepower then maybe it is a factor.
