Yeah I was pretty impressed the way it come out in a tidy pattern, we went a few K's down the beach after the dunes and it got narrower, steeper and softer so with a bit of pissing around I managed to turn it around, Seagull once warned me about damp sand sticking to the wheels but I'd never had the problem before, I did noticed clumps of sand when I aired up but ignored them, anyhow not long after leaving town we'd been sitting on 100ish and I booted it up to 140ish to pass a car, fuck me it nearly shook us to death so I found a nice track off to the left, pulled a handbrakie then pulled up to hopefully dig some sand out of the wheels.............not a fucking scrap in there but I looked back at the skid and noticed a few clumps of nice white sand on the gravel, took her up to a decent speed and perfect lol.

First time it's ever had more than 9psi, Simon sorted the vacuum hoses and she's happy to hit 14psi with the STI RA computer now, so much better up top, just a shame the gearing is so low, 4,000rpm at 110kph so I doubt it would hit 180, fucking thing bolts even quicker in low range.
