has the banter started already!

your slow on the uptake steven ;)

no, just giving you a head start, you know, like you will need on the day ;)

only on the dragstrip :p

should be a good year :)

I have been learning how to steer these days ;)

we'll see just how well wont we :)

True, so long as i have fun, i dont care. :D

doesnt matter, as long as mine works too, ill be happy :)

tis gonna be a good year.

Good to see the playing field is becoming more level these days ;)

who said anything about a level playing field?

Let's just hope we don't have any gearbox failures eh Neilo? :D:D:D

quite! :mad:

PMSL

With my bionic gearbox? not likely :p

:D:D

You snooze, you lose, Terry :D

Well I know I'll have a lot more poke than I did last year at least :D

if were talking about SSO, then the first step is having your car there mate :D

hopefully no wheel bearing failures the day before SSO this year :D

So who thinks they can beat my car around the handling circuit then!!! ;)

Having the winning car from 2006, surely I am aloud to boast and entice! :D

FPMSL

Depends whether you are going to have a talanted driver (like last year) or an untalanted driver (ie you :p) driving it or not ;) :D

Terry, suppose a bit more power might stop you from looking as slow as Shaun ;) :D

you didnt have the fastest car round it though.......

you gonna drive it this year then?? no "substitute" drivers?

Ok (let the banter begin..... :D)

Steve,
You maybe surprised how much I have progressed since ScoobyNetLive and TA. ;) :D

Neil,
I had the fastest car when it mattered and also when it got difficult IN THE WET! ;) :D

Don't worry.... this year the car will be in a different league setup wise and driver wise. No excuses and no room for anything but WIN WIN WIN! :D :D

Your right there ;)

My car may have been faster if it had an ex pro driver at the wheel too....cant be compared im afraid!

Ditto my good chum :D (although im not pretentious enough to predict victory ;)) he he.....

LOL, Shaun, there was only you and powerstation guys there, so i will take your word for it :D ;)

The only thing i will predict, is that i will have fun trying to do my best :D

Neil,
Please be aware.... Dirk had only driven the car once before and had not driven in any form of competition for over 8yrs and DOES NOT get on with 4WD (you know he was driving around with the diff FULLY open, even in the wet :eek: ). Even with his lack of 4WD know how, he thought he could of knocked off around another 2 secs in the wet with more time behind the wheel. ;) :D

Your right.... there is no comparison as he should of been even quicker! :D

I'm not pretentious..... I just have the upmost confidence in machine and driver! :D :cry:

Steve,

LOL - Not quite true. ;)

Slow as Shaun - who me - Never!!! :D - not when I was 4s quicker at Silverstone :D

Terry,

I think you would of eaten some major dosings of humble pie, had I been allowed to take part in the Final at Donnington. :D

Neil has also forgotton I wasnt that far behind him in times when I ran at TOTB either! :D

At least my car has been 100% reliable ALL year! :p

Between you and Neil, I think the odd's of either car making a complete lap at Elvington will be fairly high! :cry:

"Lets get ready to rumble" :D

How do you figure that?

incidentally your time at TOTB, 42.36 vs mine of 40.96, 1.4 secs difference, i agree, not bad, so why werent you closer at silverstone where your car was even better suited then ;)
