Done a 6.8. Foot mashed to the floor. Did not turn the traction control off though. Wonder what an A8 would do it in?

Done two 6.5 secs today with a tank of V Power, in the soaking wet.. Am I now the quickest S8 ?

EDIT: Then repeated it two more times with four people in the car and got 7.4 secs!!

not quite yet i did 6.39 at the gti but my tank was only a quarter full

Stll got a respectable time, but think I need more practice...Santa Pod anyone or this that just for chavs?

RWYB at Santa pod is great fun. I go 3-6 times a year. I'll be going again later this year, I haven't decided a date yet as I'm waiting for my mate to repair his 240Z. Let me know if you're thinking about going, we can perhaps meet up.

Next RWYB days are Aug 9th, 15th and 22nd/23rd. The 22nd is the Saturday Night Special with extended night time running. The track will stay open till 9pm.

There will be, but my internet connection is down at home, so I'll have to get that sorted

Or, sort all the pages out, and get them up on t'website from work
