So.

I got everything sorted. Accelerometer en route. Thanks Nick.

As said before I'm going for a cold but dry day in Jan.

One thing that's crossed my mind. How much would a head or tail wind affect the time. Obviously I want the best time possible but I don't want it to be cos of this. So how would it affect it?

You do two runs in opposite directions and take the average from both.
other rides 
  mk3 Volvo v70 2.0 Diesel , Pug 306 cabriolet, Pug 308 gt 180

Why not just get Total Vauxhall, to do a full article on this, we could send a 3.0L and a 3.2, along for comparison, and see which one goes bang ;D
