Pork pie? Steak and Kidney pie? Apple pie? Humble pie? Enquiring minds need to know.

RE: Please prove me wrong!

They are slacker than a slack thing on slack day!!!!

Horrible feeling, can't wait to get the Euro chassis ready and sorted.

Might buy some "road legal" slicks then as I will be able to get A0032R in the correct size. }> }> }> }>

My Son had a toy steering wheel which he used to spin furiously, making loads of go-faster noises, leaning into all the tight corners, perhaps running the government feels a bit like that. You make all the noises, but when you stop you haven't really gone anywhere.

RE: Please prove me wrong!

Land speed record: Held by Andrew Green - O I wish, “We’ve taken a tube, put some wheels on it and added a couple of jet engines. We believe it is the fastest and were wondering if you’d go thrash it for us.” – wake up, back to reality!

Off the track a bit - For those who might not know, I didn’t used too so it might be useful to someone. You can loose your licence for driving on slicks. I thought you would just get a slap on the wrist and told to change them if you were busted driving normaly. But at three points for each wheel you can get away with them on the back every now and again. }>

RE: Please prove me wrong!

Rob,

When are you getting your Euro chassis? I am hoping to pick up my completed body/chassis/engine (opted for EDA in the end) and Tremec end August/1st week in Sept. And then the fun begins!!! I am working hard this summer so I can take the whole winter off (Nov-Feb) to concentrate on it. :7

Paul

RE: Please prove me wrong!

As soon as Andy gets time to build it, as I will have to have a couple of chassis members moved and other strengthened to compensate. No defined timescales as yet.

Bowtie

Is the car in the picture a street car or just track?

RE: Please prove me wrong!

It is track and I doubt that it is street legal...

But there is another almost as bad that is street driven on the streets (street legal on paper). I can't find a home page with it or the copy of the mag with the specs. I repost as soon as I manage to find some numbers...
