Press Release Summary: The car sponsored by Meteor meet and greet, the UK's premier
airport meet and greet parking company, is a hill climb championship winning Force
PC 1100 with a full carbon fibre chassis. Capable of speeds up to 120 mph, the car
set three hill climb records in its first year of competition.

Press Release Body: Crawley, UK - On its first outing in 2008, the Meteor meet and
greet parking sponsored Force-Suzuki, has beaten the Curborough Sprint record with a
time of 28.59 seconds. For the last six years the 1100 cc class record has stood
unchallenged until driver Brodie Branch decided to give his car a run prior to the
first British Championship meeting of the Hill Climb season.

With a distinct shortage of entries for the first Curborough sprint event of the
year, the second round of the Hill Climb and Sprint Association's Speed Championship
nearly didn't happen. But after non-starters had reduced the original field of 50 to
just 43, Brodie Branch and Darren Luke staged a great battle in their shared
Force-Suzuki for not only fastest time on the day but the 1100cc racing car class
record.

Team-mate Darren Luke was the first to beat the record but then the verdict finally
went to Branch who managed to go even faster than his co-driver - eventually setting
a new record which was 2/10s quicker.

Branch adds, \"We took the car with its new 2008 livery to an exhibition in London
earlier in the year and the excitement generated was huge. So as well as looking
great, we've had excellent support from our sponsors and this helped us to focus our
efforts on going as quick as possible at Curborough. Breaking Mark's six year record
was great pre-season result for the team.\"
