Its a truly sound car from what I could tell when I threw one around Brands, but there is absolutely no way on earth, that you could justify paying £5,000 to be sat in one instead of a 172 Cup thats got only 7k miles on it.
Timings not allowed, but not needed either when youve got Fubar as a passenger...he can accurately count over and over in his head to 1/100th of a second!
He counted me round one lap in 1:01:06 :D

Big thanks to Nik for hosting these :D
A few times you can hear me lifting off early to let him either catch up (for the camera), or pull away so I had some space to work.
Mostly though hes just got enormous balls :devilish:
Well, not really versus as in racing, we were just having a play about, trying to get a little out of shape and catch it all on camera.

PMSL at this... 0.2s FFS.

Were all different. Whats better to some, means absolutely f*** all to others.
It was a short...
172 Cup, 36k in 18 months...
Serviced every 6k at a cost of £130 (courtesy of Mike172sport)
2 sets of tyres = total £370
Normal commuting gives a genuine 33-36mpg (thats genuine, as opposed to what the trip comp. says)
Problems? Starter motor replaced recently. Thats it. No squeeks, no...
That gave me quite a moment too Omar...I was in the Inferno 182 Cup behind you as it swapped ends.
I was waiting for you to get going again and the instructor told me to boot it round the left side of you...so it wasnt me being pushy to get past...honest ;)
Ive got footage aplenty...Jon chasing me with my camera facing backwards (which looks sweet)...me chasing Jon, Oms, Nik, pretty much everyone really.
Will try to edit something together later today.
Sadly so true. When I took it out, they really didnt grip around the shoulders enough...far too much lateral movement.
But then I am a bit on the slim side...
