| Shame I never got to test the Cally again before I got rid, will have to test the Cavaliers tho when there on the road. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

| If someone could rig it so it ran off its own power supply, I'd be happy to stick it in the race car and see what kind of lateral G's I can pull - far more fun than 0-60   My name is Simon  |

| New engines going in the Cav 2moro, could do with borrowing this again to test the new Cav before I start playin with it  A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

| Well it would appear that the LET I bought was actually an XEV that had been converted, just not very well, compression on a LET should be 150/160 across the board, 1 had nigh on 200, 2 and 3 were 130ish and 4 was 0..... Needless to say I'll pass on the G_Tech for a while.. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. |

| Right, I've got the new radiator fitted. Just need a spot of dry weather to try it properly and I'll be ready to send it on. Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors. |

| 7.24 Stupid rain started just as I was approaching the bit of road I reckon with more time to concentrate on the starting technique i can drive it under 7s. Still an improvement on the original time, please stick this into the first post Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors. |

| LMAO it just arrived, addressed to "Darth Howard Canning" and I had NO IDEA what it was, I opened it strategically incase it was a letter bomb :'( Edit: Hmmm, the instructions don't say hit the brakes after 60 if you don't want to do quarter mile Lol, I'll try again tomorrow.I reckon my car's too slow for it to work well anyway!

| Is that a ":'(" because it wasn't a letter bomb? I thought it would be fun to try something different with the name Enjoy and drive safe! And I am not kidding either, you need to keep your concentration up as its a bit distracting. Tough on mirrors, tough on the causes of mirrors. |

| My mum signed for it and she started quizzing me!! Thanks for the swift delivery The dual carriageway was fairly empty today (and hopefully tomorrow where I attempt a PROPER 0-60-0 run so it doesn't think I was doing qtr-mile, which will prove I have the slowest car on Hexus), so it's fairly easy to cane it and concentrate, but looking over at it as I hit 60 it seems to be just over 11 secs  Who's next when I'm done with it?
