hes built his own tubby engine, fitted all the bits, has fitted 2 aussie downpipes on his motor (obviously at different times, lol), so "hopefully" he knows what hes doing.

Sounds nice, but I was hoping for 190... Have to say after being overtaken by a chav 206 today I'm not looking forward to the result :(

I wasnt nervous untill Frank nearly stepped backwards onto one of the rollers when it was spinning at 100mph! :shock: [-X

Rory


Yeah, I saw that too, plus an OAP who'd dropped in for a chat (or something) nearly did the same thing. Put your foot in the rollers when they're spinning at 120mph and the result isn't going to be pretty :shock:

.. Make sure you're well clear of all the safety marking on the floor tomorrow people!

At the last RR the Turbo Conversion on my Roadster sprung a coolant leak .. I ended up working on the car outside for a few hours in the afternoon and got it sorted in time to do another run at the end of the day when all went well.
