Yes, I bet pissed off doesn't even come close.

Well to brighten your day a certain super charged MK4 from the depths of Wales was getting beaten on the 1\4 mile by a hybrid derv  :grin: but they were going to have another run after I left

I'm fairly upbeat but then I don't know the extent of the damage - its possible that the engine might be knackered.......

Blimey!! Wish I'd been there to see that!  :shocked:

I will be popping back over to brunters after Top Gear and drag the car back to the workshop, I will get the turbo off tomorrow pm and inspect the pistons and valve train, by the sounds of it its only turbo seals and IC full of oil.  I will get the hybrid in place.. :grin:
