Despite horrific heat trackside, rock hard Cooper Cobras and needing a service the ol Yak ran a very consistent 14.6 and 94 mph at the Mopars today As my mate Mick said "that's proper muscle car time - nearly..." More photos later when I get home

Yeah considering it's pretty much stock a mid 14 was better than I expected.
All down to my driving skills obviously
The E34 has a Chevy 305 in it iirc
I have some photos of that
It was being driven by a very cute blonde
I don't have photos of her.

Nice work! I bet it sounded like God having sex too!
I almost made a last-minute decision to go to the Pod today but sensibleness narrowly won out.

can't wait! TA is looking awesome on the Cobras. Cute blonde driving 305-powered E34 ticks an awful lot of boxes for me!

I'll pass on the 305. Its being different that makes us fun, no?
I'm going to have to post the photos in groups or we'll be here all night (and you'll have one thread with like 300 photos)
I thought I'd not taken many as I was busy queueing and the like but...
