Some theiving low life scums had broken into our unit and stolen some tools. If anyone is offered any cheap Snap on, Mac tools, Sealey tools or Signet tools then please could you let me know. If that was not enough they have taken my Clarke 175 amp welder with a Whitbread pub gas bottle too. This will be easy to spot as it has white Tip Ex stains on the front ( dont ask ). Also taken was a Aluminium race Blue point trolly jack. To rub salt in, they loaded the lot into our Caddy, white and rust, steel wheels, yellow tinted rear window with black guard, reg no T669 HSA and made off with the lot. They were caught on CCTV so we know how many and what they look like. Any info on either the tools or caddy would be great. Reward is offered for any info. This happened at about 1 am this morning (friday 3rd ). This happened on Hellesdon Ind Est, Norwich.


Anyone hears of anything please PM me.

Awesome weekend with loads of help from Mark, Stevie, Gary, Craig, Martin, Matt and Mike

Tweeked the suspension and managed to drop the times from 10.5 down to 10.3 and after a few launches added a 150bhp sniff of gas to bring the time down to 9.9 @ 138mph

That was enough for this weekend I had some slow motion launches filmed to help with the set up for next time round, already have picked up several ways I think will help the car to a faster time

At the moment the launch is off the motor only and if we set the gas up from the launch rather than a delay of 2 seconds I think the 60ft's will come down from 1.4 hopefully to the 1.2 mark

I'm opening my first business and you're all invited to the launch event ;)

To tell the truth, this won't suit the guys per se. It's more suited to your better halves in fact.

My wife and I are opening a lingerie boutique in central Cambridge on 18 September so if any of you live near and shop in Cambridge please come along and check out our wares. Champagne will be flowing on the day ;)

If you're interested please PM me your address and I'll send you an invite.

Cheers
