Great clips Dave; whose line were you and Adrian (I presume?) at?  Will you be at Alan M's in May?

Ian,

The line was at Ralph's we had some fun this afternoon. The idea was to allow the Peak to stretch it's legs.
We marked out a scale 1/4 mile & timed it, & max speed recorded by Peak light engine on full wack was 108 mph.

Yes, am planning to be at Alan M's in May & John T's at the end of this month.
Look forward to meeting you, hope you will be bringing Anne along with you if she is fit for travelling.

Cheers to you both

Dave
