Thanks for that, I was finding it hard to concentrate due to everyone at home being sick - no sleep for a few days does little to help your driving. That lap should have been a 1:55.3 if I didn't muff the gear change.

What, am i the only one that didn't know it was on speedhunters??? It's pretty cool to get the car on there.

It's funny reading all the comments, the car wasn't built to look pretty, it was built to go as fast as possible for a limited budget and time.
Some guys must not see the difference from a car that is built to drive fast, and a car built for show.

There's one thing I've learnt about Speedhunters, it's that the people commenting don't have a clue what they are talking about.

I read/view Speedhunters regularly, their content is varied and you have to ignore the bits you don't want to look at.
I have little interest in a lot of the North American stuff, but I thoroughly enjoy 'grassroots' type stuff.
