1st time for everything

David was holding on for grim death!

Anyone who has over 500BHP in one of these things, can NOT use it everyday, in the manner i would use it! I am glad it is not my everyday road car.

Having said that, dont give it full throttle and it is an absolute pleasure to drive!

Nice one Steven

Had my car out mapping it today and it felt quite nippy Must be something wrong with the steering though as it wouldn't run in a straight line, even in 4th

How the hell Andy drives his on the road i have no idea!

What may be of interest to others, or maybe not, one of my S02's has given up the ghost completely, so much so, we had to change the wheels over before we could do anything yesterday.

It appears it has started to de laminate on the inside edge, pretty similar i believe to how Marks S02 delaminated last year.

Cant put a graph up atm as my scanner isnt working.

If Andy is looking at his (laptop) screen, who is doing the fun bit?
Not even Mr Forrest can look/do the mapping and driving together.

Can you put some batteries in you camera now and reveal all to those who will not be at TOTB?
Really looking forward to seeing it.(in detail, not a distant blurr!)

Brings a new meaning to 'Heads-up' phrase.

Yes David, I agree that on my new spec, with so many unknowns, that inital mapping on a RR would be of benefit.

Then you'd be bottom of the list Dave ........ anyway, with only one seat you'd have to sit on his lap.

On second thoughts, maybe you are the right man for the job after all.

Your just saying that, as i haven't offered to sit on your lap.

Wouldn't want to get in the way of Coulty or Johnny.

Fixed the small exhaust leak last night, and found a one way valve for the brake servo, so happy again.

Driven it to work today, just to put a few miles on it. Oh boy, oh boy does it go
