wouldnt loose any power as ac cuts out full throttle 
Fair enough is that the case with most cars?
And yeah I can see why you had it on now, I bet it drank fuel with it on never mind caining it anyway

Dunno Ste the same reason I went past a blue Caterham with ease last year? Maybe you need to ask Warren why he couldn't get past either and I'd say Warrens a better driver than me, you're just a cock basically that needs to stop running his mouth for no reason.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

To be fair to Oly, he was making me work very hard and as he correctly stated, I don't need to go to work on Monday in my car. That has got to count for something!! I also don't know to what extent I was holding him up on the straights because he obviously has the edge on power and wasn't exactly cornering slowly either.
Thanks
The forward facing video shows where you are faster and I'm faster and where you go sideways  but it's giving me a headache on Windows Movie Maker as it only seems to pick up the audio.

in all fairness we all know our limits
alot of us are driving round in sub 3k builds, that we dont use for work etc
some of us are driving round in 20k turbo hatchbacks
some of us are warreng (Ian is slowly beeing accpeted in my eyes to be the fastest man to drive with straight arms ever to  )
lee's nova is brillaint, tbh i dont think ojc's is to blame for anything, as tbh the only point where you could argue lee was held up is a no passing place anyway, however, as anyone will testyfy that knows lee, given the chance, or at the ring etc lee would have made a move there , on a public trackday, is there alot of point 
on track if i had to run with anyone it would be ojc and lee because they are very quick but accomadating, as proved when we all were driving normal stuff at the gp track last year
anyway back to the nova with a silly sticker

i have a very good excuse - its an astra (boat) with 1x dunlop sportmax, 1x unisportroyal 2x capitals on different size profiles, if i brake to hard i boil the fuild (like 1st session)
but the best excuse is its done 100k, means its crap
