      The thing that baffled me and also mr bahr is NOT how the car reached 140mph but how mr. steve stopped the rollers dead once the car reached 140 but he did not use the roller lock but the brakes on the car so at least we know the brakes work

                i never said anything bad about linford
                quite the opposite, i said it was typical, average, fitting in with the crowd

                    We are spanner checking the car tomorrow and readying it for the race which will mean we have done all we can until the car goes back on the rollers on Thursday.
                    Hopefully all will go well and we will be as ready, as we can be, for its first race on the 1st.

                        Cheers Yeah, if all goes exactly to plan it could be an option to test on Friday, just cant afford to book it yet incase we are still working on the car. Funds are getting tight to say the least

                                Get down early and you should get in the paddock Dave, we are in a different spot this time and space will be at a premium
