Nice had to laugh though, as soon as you decide its ok to boot it, up appears a bloody van ... typical

Your car sounds great Wayne, do you have it decated or not ... I think you have an AEM or similar intake ?

I took mine out on Sunday for an hour too, the roads were good, they still looked a bit damp where you were ?

Paul, tell me about it, so frustrating trying to get a clear run, but hey hoo.

The car currently has the CAT on, its been too cold/ive been too much of a pussy since its MOT to put the Berk back on.

The roads were OK, they still had ice on them in places, I had more than a couple of twitches, its all good fun though.

Thought about going out today since it was a tad warmer, then the snow started, and then visitors arrived. Hey Ho there's always tomorrow.

Is that the peak district?

I used to love taking my old car up there, some good roads, but I wish they would resurface them!!

Looks like a good day out!

Cheers

Certainly is, the last leg of my run, the A54 from Buxton to Bosley.

For the road Honda did the job right "out of the box" is the saying that was used, and I think quoted from Nick Graves today at the Herts meet.

On track, or racing, or for posing up and down Southend promenade at night, obviously the car may need some changes.
