total gear head, he is really into his bikes as well. I wonder what his time was in the 12C, as he was quickest ever in the top gear "cheap pile of turd"


Thought is a very underestimated process

What about 1:16.2 min/sec (stig) vs ~1:16 min/sec?? Use the watch from start/finish line, yeah you get the idea..

not to bad considering 2 pers and some fuel..
