Well, I've handed over the controller to Swoop... let see how he does.

First comment "It's got a bit of a wander to it, ain't it"

I don't think wander is the word, I think more mind of it's bloody own!

He's keeping up with my ghost image so far, I'll think once again my bellybutton is going to be beaten!!

EDIT: His first lap was 2'05.335

Guys I did some research and you need to buy the Shelby.  The AC is like 250kg heavier.  I think it is a replica version that was sold in the 1980's, built from original tooling.

OK, we bought the Shelby.

I didn't even get within a second of Talyn.

He's back on now with the Shelby.  1st comment:  ooo **** me, the brakes are better!

2nd:  And it handles better as well.......in a.....not holding the road kinda way (as he bounces off a wall).

Yeah it's a tough mothertrucker.  I guess I shoulda saved the Cobra for a flatter track.  It's the kind of car where you want to accelerate and brake in a straight line, which is pretty rare on this track.
The main thing is finesse.  You have to have a soft touch like with a woman, or with a sheep for you UK types.

OK I'll bite.

1)   It's GB, not UK.  Everyone makes that mistake, just because the country is officially referred to as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland does not mean the short version is UK, that's the descriptive part not the actual name.  When British drivers travel to Europe we have to have an identifier sticker on the back that says GB, not UK.  And yes, the G is very important.

2)  It's the Welsh (and New Zealanders) who have the thing about sheep.  Yes, the Welsh are British and so are the English and yes I've always maintained I'm British, not English.....but there ain't no Welsh blood in these veins.  Plenty of Scottish and lots of English but no Welsh.  No, it's goats for the English, not sheep, get it right Funky.

Anyway, come on, don't save the hilarity til later, what ya running at right now?

Never had a chance to tune that Vanquish :(

A 427 on this track? I don't want to hear it about my bad picks anymore :)

1:43:941 - screaming like a schoolgirl at every corner thinking I'm flying off the track.
