Pork Pie just stopped in for a minute - and reported that Chris said that he "was all over the place" while driving through the mile.  I've noticed that the higher powered vehicles have been having lots of wheelspin and speeds have been pretty much universally down (although that could just be morning air).  But it doesn't matter how far things are slow this morning -- Chris is in Impound again! :cheers: :cheers:

Sure hope the motor is legal and the body panels are all the right shape :evil:

Later - -

Well? Did The Mayor sign off on a Record? Is there more in that English Iron Lump? What does Old Speckled Hen taste like in the morning? Inquiring minds want to know...... :-D

Congrats Chris. So, 126 last night, 118 this am. The old run faster late in the "heat" than in the morning good air. Requalify this afternoon and then consult the guru's about what you are going to do to back it up. Granted lot of factors  but likely mixture only one you might be able to control. Go for it. Best of luck.  :-D

Great job Chris and all involved.

It only took you 288 pages of build diary to get a record!
