was coming home in the mk after a weekend away today and turned onto a deserted backroad that was perfectly straight, so stopped and planted it right through to 6th... bloody hell it was quick... still grinning like a prat

probably would have broken the limit in second then. If you'd really gunned it which I'm sure you didn't

Sorry to go OT, but that's the ball-park price that the seller quoted for engine, clocks & loom, when I was considering going BEC with my Indy. (He's only a few miles down the road from me)

He was really helpful when I was fishing around for TPS connectors for my R1 carbs. No pressure to buy stuff I didn't need. Again - OT, but hopefully helpful.

i think i might sell my r1 engines to get that...
need to go change my undies
