lol my classic did the same last year although the lack of tracktion was probably because of the tyres I had on them with hardly any tread. The front I think cleared the snow but it wasn't exactly slammed.

I used to have a classic got rid of it recently. I only came to the meets in the blob though. The exhaust on the classic was really loud and would have been good on tunnel runs but the engine etc were on its way out so my blob became my main car.

I just couldn't afford to run both cars.

Where are those roads, no cameras, no cops lol.

How were you taking those bumps at that speed. I thought the front of your car would be scraping them.

Morning peeps.

Since I only have an estimate of my cars power after a road re map I fancy having a quick power run on the rollers. Can anyone recommend a rolling road for a cheap power run?
