      good on ya andy, gonna watch this with interest.

      on one hand i was kind of hoping you were going to keep quiet about the AX, on the other im glad you've said because sometimed its dammed awkward knowing stuff about other peoples cars that i cant say anything about

          maybe, your engine is pretty strong nick, but anyway the overall package is far more important than a few bhp

            Thanks graham,I know what you mean about the package,but Andy's car is well developed and proven,I've never even been testing with mine plus I'm a bit rusty,last time I actually raced was '96 and my car is based on the specs we used 10 years ago. Can you reccomend how I can stop my neck hurting?? It's fine at Goodwood and Silverstone but aches like hell after doing Lydden and Brands getting old

              although its not unusal from me to suffer from neck pain in everyday life but i never do whilst racing, i can only put that down to wearing a neck brace, even after putting my old car into the armaco at about 90mph, killing the car and a few ribs in the process my neck was just fine

                  The reason i am staying with X Flow is cost. It would have cost about 8K to transfer to pinto
