Hey All.

Took the new-look wrapped 'ssat to GTi Spring Festival 2010 and couldn't resist a few 1/4 mile passes:

My best of the day was a 13.219 sec

I *know* I could have got into the 13.1's if only I was carrying less fuel. Had just over a 1/3 of a tank. Royally messed up my calculations as to how much fuel I would need to get there this morning.

Couple of photos from the official track photographer:

Very impressive, a proper missile you have there!
I fancy a go at the "Run what ya Brung" at Santa Pod assumming that they still call it that? How much is it now Rob, and do I need anything else apart from money and my drivers license?

Hi.

Still called RWYB (see: http://www.rwyb.co.uk/dates.php) for dates and prices. You need money, photo driving license and your car

Nicely done and the car is looking good in white! Is it easier to keep clean then?

The white is certainly showing the dirt less. This car seems to splatter the boot with dirt/dust (must be the aerodynamics) much more than the W8. Its obviously still doing it - but you really can't see it as easily.
