Simon (GTP330) I cant believe you talked me into this software, mate hooking up with you has been a trip, its all started from you bro, im just glad to have met up with you. be on your doorstep soon.

Everytime I see a GT, pursuit, XR8 or GTP, I cant help but get goosebumps. not sure if its the bonnet bulge, or the vicious roar that these things develop, but I love them all.

My girlfriend asked me a week ago when we were going to spend more friday nights together, and I said "as soon as I run a 12".

She's sure gonna be dissapointed........

see you guys at Calder fri................................
Good on ya mate... Its a little sad for me though.. Would have been nuthen i wanted more then to have been there to watch that timing screen..... Not just once but 3 times. I think theers an easy 12.70 to come from your car yet... Once the 60 gets where it needs to be :

Well just got home myself, from what was the best day out at Heathcote.

Chris you really deserved to be the first into club 12 for all your hard work you'v done over the last couple of months. You are quite right in saying the LS1 boys arn't laughing at us any more, you are catching then.

watch out friday night your thing could run a 70


YOU ARE THE MAN :king: :king: :king: :king: :king


P.s hope to see you there soon

well done "powder puff"....bloody top effort, I was over the moon when you rang me. These Boss powered cars are very under estimated and I think that you and Simon are now starting to let the "dog off the leash".

I'm glad you were the 1st because you deserved it.....now whats the password to get into the 12 second door.

thanks again for a great weekend....pitty about he rain but the bundy was great.

Brad

Yep that was me

I turned around in heathcote and followed the power convoy

I was hopeing you guys would pull over somewhere, maybe for something to eat, and i could have met some of you, I have met both Chris's but that's it. I phoned Chris and he said that he was heading home, so pretty much did the same thing after pulling over to get something to eat

Whoa Chris mate very well done

Every time I speak to you you're trying new things, putting a lot of work and time into both your car and customers cars. On the phone the other day you mentioned that a 12.9 wont be all, I believe that too that the times will keep dropping with more R & D. Even better with some sticks thrown in too :evilsasmo

1st 12sec pass in true bolt on, well done

Well done on the new record ...!!! I told you you will get a 12 pass.

Good to see some of the boys at Heatcote yesterday, was my first time at that strip. My best time with heaps of traction problems was a 11.81 after i blew a exhaust manafold gasket :
