Fan-bloody-tastic! I just love the fact that he catches the BA and leaves it for dead... modern plasticky rubbish! Shame we couldn't see more of the road in the vid, but otherwise, awesome. Wish my old girl could hustle like that..!

Sounded great and that GT had some mumbo. Good on the throttle but the hand shufffling on the wheel was bit of a worry ... bit hard to know where centre is if if really got away.

Thank god for ears, that was awesome.
Pretty good how the slur 5000 was with him too, check out the other vid that goes for 40 secs filmed by a bystander showing the XA with the slur right on his hammer and the driver in the XA even makes comment about someone being right behind him.

check the twin turbo stang at the noosa hillclimb...(it's in the list to the right of the player), it's less a hillclimb, more a constant drift. pretty wild stuff.
