1st victim
Got my 1st victim yesterday. Took a mate out for a run and let him drive back. He thrashed the nuts off the car (well....nearly!) and when we got back
he got out and burned his ankle on the exhaust. So Mr show off got betten back he he. It looked quite nasty and he left some skin on my exhaust for a
keep sake!!!
So a bit of a warning here!!

Oops, that's why I'm using the good old x/flow, the exhaust is on the passenger side

Don't tell me he revved over 4000RPM Donut? That poor engine probably didn't know what had hit it!
Cheers,

Without a rev counter it was hard to say but the red shift light didn't go out much

I was thinking more application of right foot rather than the engine itself!

I went out today and drove very sedately today and that made a big difference in driver comfort!
