As above had a totally wicked time, i didnt get any pic's but i'm sure a few of the other's did.
My Best of 3 runs i did was (14.81 @ 98mph) Didnt wana push me luck any further doing more as my Gear box is toasted and a bit of clutch slip on my second run.
AndysR came with me in my car and kingford followed in saffy,
Big thanks to t5steve with his pointer's and advice. And was certainly good to catch up with all the others.
Forgot the Nice chaps name who had a totally awesome v70d Mate that seriously shifted!
And stribo well done for eventually trashing my time lol.. that s60r looks ace on the move.
Finally was Good to eventually meet frankie, Great looking motor you have there buddy,
Hopefully the other's will post up some pic's

Just back from a great day at North Weald. Thanks to Graham and Anne Marie for breakfast, you can't beat a bacon buttie. Good to meet some new faces as well, Gav had me worried with the times he was posting, but I think by the end I got the technique right. Thanks also to T5Steve for the car care kit for getting fastest time of the day. Looking forward to the next one, just need more power. ;)
BTW pics and vids to follow, as I have to show Rachel how to upload them from her phone. :lol:

Not skint, just that i shouldn't go because i needed the cash for other stuff. I could have ignored the sensible voice in my head though. lol
Instead i found myself at my work on a private road, trying to get some 0-60times.
How you bent a rod? I thought you had a good map in it and no mbc, actuator too tight?
