Jon got home courtesy of the AA. Yhe 'stang had a newly built engine and appeared to lose oil pressure so we pulled into the garage, while pushing the car back under the lights a very loud noise was heard around the axle! Oil pressure turned out to be a sender gauge (thank goodness) and as for the axle, he wanted to install 355 gears instead of the 373's anyway!

All's well that ends well
It was a particularly spectacular burnout he did. Just as I pulled out of the Fairmile to leave, a cop car turned in. I wonder what they made of the large pall of smoke hanging around the front of the pub (and the back, the sides & in the bar area)?

It's a lot easier if you have a line lock installed so that you can just put brake pressure on the fronts, otherwise you have to build the revs, drop the clutch and hop immediately onto the brake with your left foot whilst moudulating the accelerator. Needs a bit of practice, the first few seconds of this show you how not to do it... wimp !
This is better... inside view
Then there's the video of ZR1forfun which shows what to do when you've got a line lock. I'm not sure where that's lurking at the moment.
