Great day for it.

That would have blown the cob webs out of your roadster, how'd the brakes hold up?
Great pic's as usual :thumbsup: .

Sure did, brakes I think still have a little air in them but they're waaaay better but not quite 100%. It's my back that seems to have taken a hammering, only now just coming good. Man the roads were rough! Total Kay's for the weekend would be nearly 400. Nothing compared to what the SA/NSW boys did.

Apparently it's no fun on a skid pan! Mate got to play in it at the prooving ground a few years back and said its three seconds of throttle then lift off as they were told not to fry the tyres too much and it didn't really hook up at all :mrgreen: . Wouldn't let them out on the track either. So my guess is it's more than a firecracker.
