Nah, and how our engines were cold when we stopped at that services despite our amazing turn of speed.
Shame we nearly got blown off the m4
Did you have words with your dad about the small fire issue with those fire proof overalls.- that was bloody funny.

I was thinking the same Deano, I suppose it would be polite to explain he was trying to get his clock to click over to 52,000. 52 in a 52.......

Think Steve's 30hp needs a Judson, not Deano's
50mph seemed so fast on the last leg home down the M3

One of my (many) favourites so far, a cracking shot of Phil, Marks co-pilot/fag roller for the trip.

That really did start to concern me on how slow we were going.. and I didn't have any speedo!!.
Effectively you have a heavier bus with the same setup.. something not quite right there.. But you know Steve.. he'll just plod along..
Having the Judson on is gonna be bonkers!! (in 30hp terms
