Nice. (Mu ha ha...!) :twisted:

If anyone needs a ride (and a bit of an education regards how things can go around corners) the Speedhog is your man. :idea:

It'd be great to have you there Rodney. Just be sure to fit new tyres to that Madaz thing before the trip so they can still get you home at the end of it! :lol:

100+ MR2OCNZ runs and counting... When going hard, good rubber's your best protection against unwanted accidents. Buy good tyres!
When you're nearing the end of the drag-strip and you have no 'chute, you may as well keep your foot to the floor... Live life. There ain't no second pass. :twisted:

Tarmac Rally tyres do ?? :mrgreen: LOL
I'm gonna try to get Phothog out for a run as well. ;)

I can't comment on foot settings for Tarmac, I'm setup for gravel only.

Well I'm still not completely happy with my suspension. But its an improvement and I should be along on Sunday. Perhaps just not pushing it as hard? Or maybe I just need to get used to it again. See you Sunday!

After the nasty weather event last night and the sudden chill this morning it's hard to believe the weather could EVER improve but I sure am hopeful :P

Awesome!
And same! I Just realised I had no insurance, no WOF and no reg!
So had to quickly take time off work and get it sorted.
All legit now though :D
See you all Sunday!! *Staying positive :wink:

I hate doing this especially since because I partly suggested this but I have three tests and four assignments so I won't be able to come.

I'm not liking the look of Sunday's weather in the 3 day rain forecast. I may have to sit this one out, even though it looks like a fantastic drive! I do have to get the car completely cleaned up to show it off to family next week, so it's probably for the best; will give me time to finish off cut'n'polishing the sections I've not done yet.

I may end up turning up on the day, but if I don't, hope it turns out well for you guys!
