Default Great day

Just had an awesome drive from Didcot to Reading. Down the A417 if anyone knows it

Roof down, flying past everything on the twisty lanes, deafening people with my J's racing 60RS single. Don't think you can beat this driving experience with anything other than a supercar.

Some golf was overtaking everything in the distance, think he was surprised how quickly i caught him and passed him (whilst deafining him with a 9000rpm overtake)

Now time for F1

You'll beat me on induction noise. I'm still on the standard airbox. Interestingly I filled up with normal 95Ron and it feels really sharp.

Hmm F1s finished and Im sat in the garden. Time for another drive i think!

No idea, thats what powerstation measures.

I got 245 on a standard car, 255 on mods, then 259 a second day when I changed to a thin oil.

Not tried on the Js but I do take the numbers with a pinch.
