yip, thought scooby owners liked speed so thought strapping rockets to cars might appeal to somebodys sense of humour but it looks like most are boreing max power posers

One of channel 5's finests I thought, whatever that means. Yes I thought about the g too being a g addict myself. But a Westfield driven rather well around Knockhill by an instructor on a track day was more than enough g for me. Probably just over 1.1g on the corners? Don't know how these boys with plastic pigs cope with it trackday after trackday - awesome - and this was nothing like a certain famous plastic pig on here for power from the sounds of it!

That said, John Harley got g forces out of my Scooby in the wet that I didn't know were possible the other day I think he was enjoying himself...

Boy I gotta do Knockhill soon!
