I didn't mean it like that, just Steves always bemoaning money as his restricting factor. Besides, you didn't set out building yours for it to set the earth on fire though, you wanted something different that made you smile every time you got in, and if you haven't managed that then you're a hard bugger to please.

Thing is i'm not convinced yours was faster on the straight, you were clearly carrying much more speed through the corners so for the first part of the straight you were definitely pulling away. Once the MG got going you could see it reeling you in a bit though, certainly not dropping away any more. As you say, you've started with a car that's significantly slower as standard, so for it to be beating the MG with ease...
