SWEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!

Been forced back in due to darkness falling, had the MTA4 out for the last
four hours.  I ran the tank on idle for an additional 1 tank, which meant I
had run in a full two tanks on idle.

I then ran a further five tanks on a super rich setting driving around the
field extremely slowly  - 10 - 15  mph ish.

After this, I brought the HSN in until the engine screamed at me, and then I
turned it back one quarter........

And  then......I hit accelerate :)

IT WENT LIKE A ROCKET!!!!!!       Got a good 90 minutes playing with it, too
nervious to jump or do any crazy sh.t, but I had fun.  I hammered the break
at full pelt and tried to skid, which sent the truck tumbling - no damage.
I also managed to climb up and down a fair few 8inch kerbs, and whilst I
didn't get any wheelies, I did manage to get the front two wheels of the
ground JUST and no more - on soft grass.

I actually found it easier starting it with the PULL START as the drill is
useless should the battery drop to even a medium level of charge.

I have had so much fun and can't wait until tomorrow :)

PS - I'm now in the doghouse, I had a pizza at the park in between tanks,
and forgot I had offered to cook my lady dinner followed by a trip to the
cinema....
