Not wanting to go to far off the carrier topic - when I took the comet to the tanks in town event in Mons , we did 20 miles at 3/4 of a mile to a gallon - I have never spent money and had so much fun !!! 27 ltrs of pure fun and power and some open road instead of tiny arenas going around in circles - It was like sex on tracks . (To keep this in the carrier vein ) I get 10 miles to the gallon out of the carrier on the road .

Default W & P Arena

Just thought I would let you all know that the Arena at the new site is considreably bigger, I reckon about 30 % more and is rather longer and narrower than the old one.(AKA man in the skirt)

Seems as if we could see lots of carriers and British armour !!!!

Andy
