    I missed the poxy little stop button on my stopwatch, but by the time I moved my finger out the way it was on 13 secs.. will try again tomorrow with better timing method.
    Tin top with normally aspirated Subaru 2.0, half arsed bench seat / bed arrangement, large pallet, and scant regard for the whining 1600 gearbox :lol:

    I should check all of that but the motor is coming out soon for a rebuild; all of those components will be renewed on rebuild :D

  12. 8th prize is a "no expenses paid" trip to any destination of @zedders choice. Prize is subject to age, status and credit score.

  14. Hey guys, don't want to throw a spanner in the works but these times may be subject to a stewards enquiry ! Is every body running standard wheels and tyres ? If the circumference of the wheel and tyre is greater or smaller than original then the speedo will read incorrect , as mine does !! :eek:
