Does sitting in the shell, in the garage, making engine noises and visualising tracks and drag strips count?

Obviously having both the turbo and N/A fuel injected test engines running on the garage floor but with just a pile of rust to put either of them in doesn't count yet... so I voted "still in the garage at project stage"....

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Very interesting. 30 votes and 2/3rds never used on a track so far this year.

Maybe people should think about organising treasure hunts rather than track days!

Camping isn't a holiday, it's a punishment.

Mine has done 3 miles - MOT station and back.
