Nice to see the piccies at last, I was gonna post the ones I have from when you were at Lydden next to Jimbos Mk1 RS2, but thought you were keeping the car secret from all the TRC ranks

.For those who don't know Goodwood is 2.4 miles long and is a bloody quick circuit,I pull 7000rpm in 5th down Lavant straight that's about 135mph
before braking into an 80mph right hander,followed by the chicane.
