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

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!

You know what im actually a little nurvous running with you at Santa Pod on friday! 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

First M45 Cooper S to run a 12 (12.96@105)
On Nitrous 11.16@123 0-100 7.1991
It's not how much you spend but how well you spend it

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)!!
