Default Dyno Virgin

Well looks like the Sprint gets her first go on a Dyno ......... Must admit that shes not the only virgin to this stuff ..... Ive never done a car either ;)

I have watched a couple of cars go on a few years ago at the last raid ....... wanted the other Sprint to go on one too .... never got the chance .....

Im excited but unsure at the same time ..........

Should I 'do' anything to her to assist her in any way ????????

Cant wait for this one ..... will let you all know how she goes ..... its not till Tuesday .......

P.S. - Turbotaxi ...... hehehehehehe the skirt must have been short enough ...... can you get yours on before Tuesday :P bwahahhhahahaha

At least if you go first I then have a figure to surpass.......
I think you will need over 160 - 170rwkw to beat me.

I will go and discuss the issue of cue jumping with the gentleman. (I wont implicate you)
