Hi Oli
Had a great day at Newark and thanks for test drive!!!!!! hitting the rev limiter on every gear was quite something :w00t:
For those of you who didn,t go we had people milling around all three cars all day, a lot of questions and many envious of the cars and a lot of great feed back
I think the problem with my fuel pump being to high pressure is causing my flat spot and also making it drink petrol, only just got to the petrol station before running out! :thumbsup:
Anyway great to meet you at last Oli and hope to meet up with you again

good lad thats what i like to hear! havent had chance to have a look round it yet to see if anything has come loose or broke apart from chain guard and the exhaust seemed to be really loud when i parked up, but may have been because i had ear plugs ni for about an hour!
