That was very nice of him Andy, has it given you reason to ditch all the other distractions and progress at a quicker rate with your build at all?

How far away are you now then Andy......

It's completely different sitting in the right hand seat than being driven by some heavy footed demon in the left seat. Bet you enjoyed it....

It does Andy, being in control of all that power under your right foot certainly does make your carrot and sprouts go tingly. I've let people have a go on the track before and they find it hard to keep up with the car as things happen so fast, you've got to be really on the ball.

Great Fun.....AndyH
