Went yesterday in the shopping corsa had a really good day, weather was mint hot as fuck.
had so much fun in the corsa.
first time i ran, w was up along side a Bravo. the bloke on the mic was taking the piss saying like "wwaahhaaa look at this thing with the tow bar learner badges" proper taking the piss.
light go on green and i leave this bravo for dead 
second time he comes over the mic, "heres that corsa again, if anyone knows adam beard can you get him to come and tell me whats in that car"
ends up going up into the booth with the bloke and gets interveiwed by him asking loads off stuff about the car
Saw jacko,sy and a few others, aswell as Scriv in his pink Nova
well did 3 runs, where i dident think where to bad to say the weather wasent helping making the starting point slippy as hell, but was funny non the less.
so here my times.....

14.41 at 97mph with a 2.3 60ft
did 4 or 5 times in the 14.4's......

i doubt a fully stripped c20xe could run, let alone do a 14.4
yes, the car was stripped... the engine was as standard as i could of got it (without mashing bulkhead or SFi box)

just makes me laugh, you always fail to mention that there is no interior at all in the car. Also you know full well that after 3 runs your not even warmed up how many did you do before your 14.4 ?
