It depends entirely on the driver.

Granted, Does anyone know the laptime of any S around Kirkistown, regardless of driver ability, didn't really think I had to add the caveat as everyone knows S drivers are the mutts nuts.

Forgot to ask are there any owners in N.I. and when is the next meet?

Was out with the N.I. TVR owners club on Sat, was in a car that spun the wheels at an indicated 95mph and shortly after almost got caught by the police (turns out they were after a Merc driver, phew!!), cracking day all round but must confess to nearly cacking myself when the rear nearly let go.

I was doing 1m 12sec to 1m 15sec depending on traffic, a guy in a Tamora was doing it about half a second faster. We were timing each other.

I have a friend who can do it in under a munite on his firebalde!

Thanks Crispy.

The T350 guy I was speaking to does it in about 1:06 and was saying he was only about 6-8 secs slower than the fastest bike that day.

His T350 has a LOT done to it and he seemed pretty handy in it so it could very well have been 5 secs quicker than a Tamora.

I still fancy an S though and have resigned myself to buying a new one, second hand just isn't making any kind of financial sense!!! BUGGER...
