FAO: Big Power 1600 Owners...
I have a very good feeling that there is going to be a new sherif in town. I went out in something rather special last night.
Oh, by the way... Has anybody seen Performance Ford this month?
Thanks again Tom

Hello Tony,
Yes I've read the latest magazine, and have to say that Tim's car beat Tom's times for everthing and by a good margin too! Not bad considering Tim's engine is 27,000 miles old and due for replacement next month! 
New sherif in town.................I don't think so.

I saw the mag as well. I know it said he had problems with the car and thats why the times were down. BUT when looking at the engine bay, it seemed like everything was really over complicated and changed just for the sake of it. 
I know fook all though
Clearly alot of time and work gone in on it though

I can't wait to see Tom's car too, would like a spin in it!
On the subject of thrashing all the 1600's together, yes it's a great idea, but it doesn't really prove what you want it to prove. All our cars were built for different things and because one is quicker top speed and another over a quarter mile how can that be correlated into anything useful?
Don't get me wrong, I love thrashes as much, if not more, than anyone, but I still think Performance Ford have the best format. It's just a shame its only once a year!!

Here we go again! You have to love the internet. Why do we all get whooped by other makes time and time again? Because we spend more time bickering about who's faster than appreciating other's achievements and learn from them. Let's face it...how many people will now copy the rad in the boot in the near future?! I personally think it's a great car with some great ideas and I can't wait to use some next time I rebuild. Top Car IMHO
Why's the Daddy Thrash only once a year? Well probably because of cost!! Does anyone have the foggiest how much it actually costs to have 12 cars there pretty much all day? Actually it's more than 12 usually isn't it that PF end up picking the bill up for

I say lets test 30-130!!
