To be honest, the pictures don't do it justice. The first time I saw the car in the flesh was at TOTB3 in 2004 when we were both running. I was amazed at the quality of the work. Although some of the mods were not to my taste, I could appreciate the time and money that went it to it.

The only criticism I can think of is that it wasn't built with a particular purpose in mind, that is to say it was effectively a show car with a very powerful engine. Bits like the showcage, big wheels with low profiles and dumped in the weeds stance did nothing for its 1/4 mile times.

I chatted to James a few times on the day and found him to be a top bloke. Its a shame he never accheived the performance that the car was potentially capable of.
