BTW i think the 4.6 was a bit of a wild card tbh, but we did have a skip of the front wheels half way through the 5.7 run

Id work on the average tbh. Think it varied so much as trying to find a flat piece of road by me is like looking for a needle in a haystack, an to the visable eye the roads i did those on all look flat, but so obviously arent

In to 3rd at about 20 and mash the throttle and take it way past 70 so you ensure no lift. - timing is from 30 to 70

In Italy

I did the test again this morning, and it did go a little better but it was on the way to BMW to have a new rear off side caliper put on (its sticking and sometimes locks up under breaking)

i got:

5.5
5.8
5.6

but i am sure it will do better as the rear wheel is stiff to turn so that cant help, plus i had a 12" sub, amp, gym bag and durasic size CD case on board! And i had just eaten the worlds biggest breakfast! lol

You know what im actually a little nurvous running with you at Santa Pod on friday! lol have no idea why though?

I was actually nervous for my 3yr old yesterday in is first Sports Day yesterday, I was even more nervous in the egg and spoon race, but I'll explain that one Friday


No need to be nervous its all about meeting up talking Minis for 8 hrs and hopefully have a fistfull of timing tickets with hopefully some new world records

Aah -I remember that one. The anxiety doesn't go away though -my daughter is 9 & she's in the Sports Day relay on friday. At least you can craftily put your thumb on the egg when they are a bit older though( & they do)!!
