Holy christ...
serious **** happens at that speed... i know close ones have maybe said it but... the big boys go into those speeds with huge amounts of prep, and backup... keep it safe Andy... I remeber Brundle having a scare in the XJ 220 doing 217, looking at the replay the bonnet gaps were pulling apart any longer in the run and it would have been interesting...
Anyhow huge congrats on the result, a truly monster performance for such a car and team... obvously by that i mean not a multi million $$$ ddrag outfit, or Mclaren

Congratulations Andy, superb result.
An outstanding achievement.
Surely one of the mainstream motorist programmes would be interested in this, Clarkson et al? Would make good viewing and would be a good advert for your business perhaps?
Just a thought. Keep up the good work.

Stunning achievment considering Andy's still running basic aerodynamics...... including a tiny lip spoiler similar to mine...... maybe thats why my car is so quick....

The absence of a few known names has been commented on, quite amusing really As mentioned above, the full story of the day and details of the cars spec to achieve this speed will be published in Scooby magazine.

Let's see Andy at Bruntingthorpe eh?
We should campaign (read:bombard) Top Gear with e-mails until we get a response.
Scooby Magazine may have a bit more clout, so how about they try and get Mr F's motor on there? Put it up against "a fast car" eh?

Nice one Andy, was it 0-210mph in 30 seconds any idea what your 0-186mph is? Would be a good comparison against the Bugatti Veryon because i remember Bugatti quoting an estimated time of 14 seconds
