Well done, I presume you meant to say *3*:24:14 though, rather than *1*:24:14 as that would be rather fast for Spa? keep up the good work.... 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

Hi All Sorry to bore you with another "my first <insert GPL experience> in GPL" post but I couldn't contain myself and by posting here I at least feel as though someone is listening :) I just tried to qualify the eagle at Spa with the default setup, for the first time (having never driven the eagle before). Incredibly, I grabbed pole with my first lap - 1:24.14 - 4 tenths in front of Jim Clark. All the more amazing since I had 3 glasses of red wine after work today. Now I'm off to embarrass myself in the race, but at least I've had what's probably my first genuinely satisfying GPL experience. See you all at the closest hospital to Spa! -Nick

Huh...? What.? Pole......first time.? Blimey. It wasn't red wine you sozzled Nick...it was rocket fuel.!! Ian.

OK, I was obviously a bit quick to type last night. First of all, yes clearly I meant *3*:14, not 1:14. Sorry about that :)

And it was the first time driving an eagle at Spa. Usually I drive the Ferrari but I just thought I'd havea change. It was my first hot lap in the Eagle at Spa - bearing in mind I've driven _almost_ exclusively at Spa since getting GPL about 4 months ago. Well, I've got no time to sit here flapping my lips - I've got some serious driving to do. No doubt you _will_ hear about my next "Golden GPL Moment (tm)". Cheers -Nick
