I still cant believe Rich sold it, but I guess its just been ongoing for so long now that he lost interest, ive got the receipt knocking around somewhere for the LET frame and shafts etc he had off me for it, it was about 2002 IIRC, lol

Will be cool to see it when its finished

I really should get round to finnishing mine off too when ive got some other projects out the way.

Approx 400bhp per tonne ATW when its done hopefully alex if you can keep to rich's target of 600kg.

Thats about the same as a 800bhp escort cossie just for comparitive purposes

we had some 'fun size' twix's when we went skiing in the rucksack for snacking on. my mate dave said that as there's only stick in the pack we have to call it a twick

anyway, twix is not alex's favourite chocolate bar. like george michael, he once went to a&e to have a chocolate bar removed from being stuck up his arse. he claimed that he'd accidentally sat on it - said it was a careless wispa

cool car alex.

but maybe not quite as much grip at launch on the plus side, less chance of breaking the transmission

From 60-100 if both cars went for it then it might be close, everywere else the cossie would walk it (if the transmission could cope), wasnt saying the performance would be the same or anything like that, just talking purely power to weight
