can someone explain how the 0-60 system works as i see they line something up with your car wheel. What device knows when you are travelling at 60 then as they don't plant nothing in your car? Also i take it the device next to the wheel send a signal once you start to move?

with regards to the time, the guy on the start line told me the activator for the timer might not work as it was set up for car wheels not a bloody transit.
gutted as the launch was spot on and even had wheel screech in 1st, 2nd & 3rd.

just a standard 2 ltr petrol ex iceland delivery van converted to an ally pickup running on LPG!!!

i think there was a little drag factor with the brush. i was hoping for a little rear end downforce.

watch this space. i have a modded head cams and a few trick mods up my sleeve soon to be fitted along with the makeover and the gear ratio being adjusted to suit.
it will never be a 10 second van but will be more than lively for a transit.

its a workhorse and i really do love driving it. i just want it to be a little more perky, not that its slow now. if i want it sideways it goes sideways and it still drives like a brand new van. beleive me it gets some abuse!!!

hopefully i will give it another run before the seasons out in all its glory. trax maybe???

haha yeah i saw it, i was stood on the right (as you were driving down) leaning on the metal railings, probably around 3-4pm? i said to my friends mate is it a diesel or a petrol, we thought petrol because it was really quiet then i think you did handbrake 180 at the bottom?
