Back up - wahey!!!!

Right

Simon started @ 09.52.17 BST & is still currently going

50 minutes up!

Simon is very relaxed & calm. 29.5 second smooth & consistant laps

Small scare over heating but now back to normal.

Did no one put a bit of tape over the clock so he couldn't see it?

How is the fuel situation looking?

No mars bars on board - only a bottle of squash. They're hoping Si might loose a few pounds - not gain them

Fuel - Won't ask just in case Si starts worrying about it - will report if hear anything.

No, no, no, don't go saying things like that, people wont believe you

Maybe that's how subarus design team intended them to be used

2/3rds of a tank left

Tyres & in fact the whole car have periods of being off then on. So sometimes its OK & sometimes a bit of a handful.

Rear diff seems to be running quite hot sometimes & may be a problem in the future.

75 minutes
