Ahhhhhh, there is something I brushed over - I will drop you a line
when I hit 16 hours.
At 1:30.00 per lap that is over 640 laps - and we generally only get 16
competitive laps in per race meeting - which means 40 meetings at
maximum of 8 per year - that is 5 years...
Even adding some decent "normal" wear and tear onto that and still my
engine would have been "refreshed" well within that window.
No wonder no-one I know talks about it much ;-)

PS Yes, that was a quick math on my part (and it is Monday morning
here) - so take those figures as E&OE :-)
