Video being edited now, making a decision this week regarding whether or not we will continue with the car in its current guise, or head to turbo 6.

Who is doing the video editing because they are taking their bloody good time getting it finished? You could have sent the footage to me and I'd have it chopped and posted on youtube before you could say 'How quick is a Boss down the quarter'.

And if I hear you mention that you'll be stepping away from the V8 and into a turbo 6 again I'll personally drive across and slap you around. ing_sm
