Now best of luck to simmo tommorrow i,d love to see my record tumble,I enjoy the hunt more than the catch.
9's heh? We'll see... I thought you'd said the best a stocker with Staintunes could do was 10.3

Leave you alone? I ask questions, like many do. When did this become about you? This is a drag-racing thread for all

Debating? Nah, never did it, but maybe if I did I'd write long-winded responses. School physics? I completed university physics (what would I know?), but I also learnt in other subjects that people will always make assumptions, and I learnt playing poker to check up people's sleeves.
Good luck Simmo and Spa Man. I'm sure you'll only get quicker. I ask questions because I just want to try and learn how, and I like to check up people's sleeves while I do it.
