Remember to pick up a copy of EVO and Redline for stories on the world record and also Autocar (due out tomorrow - weds) for the full report on the autocar sideways challenge.. so that finally the secrecy can end!!!!

As I remember it John, you skulked off to sit in the sun on the roof, leaving me and Ian Cook to press the button a few times

Hey, even my Dick Darsterly attempts to get SDB to fail came to nothing

Have got a copy of EVO and as my name is mentioned my whole family have had to hear all about it and suffer a few Mb download of the scanned article.

Will take a look at Redline and Autocar in the morning and set the video for TG on Thursday.

Cheers

Ian

We're still waiting for guinness world records to come back with their official stamp of approval on the world record (probably another few yet as well).

The other thing was not a survey, it was for a new feature which we just have not had the time to get up and running. The information is doin absolutely nothing at present.

All the best

Hi matt

In the end, mike wood assured us that the standard car was more than up for the task, and he was absolutely bang on. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at just *how* good the car was, the new chassis set-up really is an substantial improvement IMHO.

Cheers

Simon
