It's much much harder going out the way I did it...I found myself feathering the throttle a bit too often. Going towards Alston I'm quicker.

Croft on my 800ss minitwin racer. I've posted this before, but I've moved server etc.

http://www.twpd.co.uk/videos/Croft_800ss_(small).avi

It's in DivX format so, you will need to install the DivX codec.

Croft video is great Nige, still looks good full screen but peeps need to be aware its a 170-odd Mb download....

Worth it though

Nobody in here wants to see you thrashing the pips off your Deauville and listen to me short-shifting at 3-4k rpm
