robin theres no point in arguing. just get the pump and you'll be off :P  you have the diff, the dsg, stiff suspension all you need is some stage 2+ action for some real good times on there, although if you had 2+ you would have had a real effort getting it off the line

Cant wait for the next 1!  :happy2:

....Jeeeze! I first read that as "then driving home, albeit absolutely naked!

It's spelt "knackered"  :happy2:

Glad to hear you enjoyed it and look forward to meeting you again as long as you're not naked. *cough* I'm remembering dropping my trousers on the start line of The Pod last year. 'Nuff said!

:confused:
When I saw Rupo go it looked to be spinning all 4 albeit fronts first but the rears definitely were lit up.

all 4 on rupos were spinning,  :happy2:

....Sorry, but on the one launch I witnessed his fronts were waaaay ahead on spinning - I commented to someone at the time. Of course, each run is different and it may have been only the one I witnessed.


Older style haldex is know to do that. It gets confused as to where to send the power to sometimes aswell lol
