that's the best thing you've done to that car. Bufty bufty bufty is boring. Strip it out and thrash the **** off it at the ring ... as well as on the way down and back. It makes sense!

Looks good mate!

I wouldn't mind harnesses in my car, but need to use the backseats, ie my daughter and stepsons

I went round Nurburging with Maddog who's got harnesses in his STI and they felt good, held you nice and tight on the hairpins and gives you more confidence on the handling of the car as you literally become part of the car

Nice one mate!

I've just got back from the ring, managed a quicker time in the M5 than I did in the GT3 RS, think it's because I can push the M5 harder with all it's computers that sort it out for you. Whereas in the GT3 one mistake and it's all over.

Not long to go now!!

Mine kicked in at 162mph. But when I went from stand still didn't kick in till 173?

0-100 it's about the same as the 911 Turbo, over 100 it's quicker which I didn't expect. Hitting the limited at 162 is like hitting a brick wall as it's still pulling so hard. Have to demilt it now to get the full 204mph!

Was in Trier on Monday, lots of fit ladies about!

Nope OK when I'm driving!

A friend timed me at 9:45 BTG, which considering last month was 15.00 was very pleased

MADDOG is a great instructor, even managing to teach me to drive!
