And I have new sticky tyres.. so you maye have to work that Audi to keep up as there should be very little 3rd/4th and 4th/5th gear wheel spin

Oh - and the exhaust is much quieter, so you will be able to tell if your car is over revving

T/A - you can crash over at my place if you want.

RC, I need to make sure the "co-pilot" is fully loaded up with skittles and stuff to distract you and perhaps get her to ask you about the birds and the bees in the midst of a 100 mph corner. That might do the trick

How about I depart at 10am and you follow at 10:20am??

So - 1 "confirmed", 1 "would love to" and another "too far away".

Let's see what the next couple days show for the other locals...
