Hello Dave.

Good to see you and Holly again this weekend. So was that 14.38 a PB from the little 1679?

yes it is ,no world record but well chuffed for a budget motor.shame we cant make it to POD at all cos we miss seeing all the vwdrc guys and gals.off work as done my back ,think it was moving the car trailer to load up ,off for some more ibuprofen and heat gel.

Get better soon fella!

Congrats too on the PB

Congrats!
PB's are always a great achievement and in my mind the most important!
