The Stig..

Newport Pagnell

Had an enjoyable day at Santa Pod today. A certain Fastcarl who was off to the RWYB stopped over on Saturday night so he did'nt have such long drive. After well over a gallon of Fosters carl talked me into running the car on the Sunday(today).

First run was on Yoko 032r's, a tragic start with way too much wheel spin bagged me a 13.8 at 104mph over the line.

With the slicks on i queued for the next run, i was running against the new BMW M5 with the 500bhp V10. so i stayed as focused as i could as i new this car would not be so simple to beat.

So an ample wheel spin to get those tyres nice and soft and got stuck into the run, so agood launch at 2.1(best 2.03) and a nice smooth drama free run earnt me a 13.074 at 106mhp.

The M5 came in at 13.77 at 110.95mph...he lost!

Although my car has a Wizards of Nos kit fitted it was not used so the 12's and coming soon.

Chuffed to say the least...*happy*

That is very inpressive.

I can't imagine you've had much time on your own morot lately either judging by the state of the Frog.
