Glad you spotted that Andy, I had no idea it was going to be in a mag.
BTW I got a new lambda from a place in Northumberland, it should be here by the weekend (thanks for the links Dave), also got a new centre decat to fit at the weekend
Phil (totally decatted)

still a bit crappy at the mo, due to having the duff lambda and the centre cat in place
parts should be fitted by the weekend hopefully but I've only got saturday off then I'm away for a week working in Scarborough & Filey
Also to let you know.. I found a fantastic road , although its over within about 10 mins. we were working out near blubberhouses today and on the way there we were told to go through otley and straight out the other side. apparently the locals call it the rollercoaster, top speeds of about 120 (apparently) with loads of bends & bumps and then brake fade by the time you reach the end, so lots of braking & accelerating. great fun if no one else is around

Yeah, that's the one. It's the A59 you'll eventually meet IIRC (take it easy on the 59, lots of plod (unmarked STi's 
)). I go that way quite a lot, and am trying to think of a way of incorporating it into the Run, but I really want to start off with ---------ROUTE REMOVED 'COS I'M PARANOID ABOUT UNMARKED STi's LYING IN WAIT--------
The list is for this months attendees

DOH.. just thought, you mentioned a resorvior. we were working at the bottom of it today ( not under the water ) doing some kayak stunts. When you reach the main road, if you go straight over towards the bottom of the dam then thats where we were.

should be a good laugh..
car is extemely quick in a straight line and stopping, its a little bit of a hanfull accellerating out of corners as it likes to wheelspin in third
Hopefully will have the road legal slicks soon
