Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 5:25 pm**

Shame i missed it, look forward to the photo's and video's

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 6:14 pm**

F*cken sensational day

I did 53 laps & went thru 5 & a 1/2 bottles of nos

I kept up with most of the big boys!

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 6:24 pm**

Sweet! Was it timed laps? Lets see the pics. How are your tyres after 53 laps? That's almost a full Grand Prix!

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:27 pm**

Holey F$%k, how much is a botle of nos??? Get the pics up

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:28 pm**

Both pics & lap times are coming. Might be a day or 2 for the lap times thou. And after my rant about 'If you want it done right, do it yourself' payed off. The car did not miss a beat all day, she handled like she was on rails & the engine was loving the nos.

The only looser were my tyres thou

They are f*cked. I kept hearing thuds from under the wheel arches on the way home & it was all the melted blobs of rubber stuck to the tread popping off

Swear to God, what you have spent on tyres you coulda bought a fully worked EVO IV

Posted: **Fri Mar 14, 2008 7:34 pm**

your front tyres looked pretty tired (no pun intended) when i first rocked up, leaves were sticking to them! i'm still blown away by that S6 RX7, how goddamn fast it was, and overtaking the GTR's on the outside! unreal!
