    Might be worth a look just to see Frankie repeatedly turn his mbc up until he damages his engine to try and set a better time than anyone else again and when that fails claim that the timing equipment is wrong. Then tell everyone that his cars the best because he's thrown loads of money at it, whilst making it known that he knows everything and that everyone else is wrong.
    Sounds like a great day apart from that.
    Also there's no point me racing as I could §§§§ faster than my beemer.
