I think it says it all...

I am sory but when I read "real life MkI 100oct" it really push me out of my brain.

Hi Tomcat

Er, not sure if it is an English issue, but that reads like a hilarious insult so I will reply as such.

Maybe I (it) WAS the kind of tester that wasn't able to achieve 270 (mph?) in a Hurri while complaining. But what would you say if it got back to the airfield, abducted Spitgirl from the officer's mess, and took her to the nightspots of Picadilly in an open top Lagonda?

Looking back the only flight test of a Hurri I remember was 240-245mph on the deck in the first beta patch with FM revision (slowing Hurris down). I think it was a fair bit faster in the previous retail patch 1.05.

Will not comment on the fuel with high round number
in case the padlock gods are roused from fitful slumber.
