Nuts looking engine bay
Almost certainly a repost at some stage im sure.
Havent seen the bloke for YEARS now, so know Idea if its still running or whatever.
If anyone likes the strut brace, to make another one out of the same F1 tub spec carbon would be 9 grand IIRC

This is the car from the outside:
And this is the bonnet which you would probably remember if its the same car you are on about?:
Up the carbon fibre door cards (again proper F1 spec stuff not all the crap we get from "custom carbon" etc for our cossies etc) it had grass airbrushed onto it.
Sadly ive not got any high res pics of it cause the airbrush work was absolutely stunning in real life, real jaw dropping detail and you just cant get it in those pics, makes the engine bay look a mess but in real life it really was awesome.
Driveshafts were custom made, and were hollow

That might get you one of the valves for the remote reservoir coilovers, which were about 10K worth IIRC

i can understand the time and money spent and fair play, just not my cup of tea.
engine looks mental tho, and it sounds properly sorted and i expect that its been done like that so you just have no idea what the car is capable of
paint it a decent colour and id prolly like it a lot more lol

paint isnt really to my liking, and there bumpers look like theyve had too much colour coding and the black trim bits are missing or painted.
wheels look like nasty super T's
not doubting its a pukka setup car, just think hes gone a bit wrong in the styling department, a relatively standard looking SR would be so much better imo.

Picture of the bird from the volvo incident, I still remember some of the photoshops but sadly havent got any of them saved.
Yeah it went through a few different engines.
His mates had some pretty cool cars too, all in lairy colours:
All absolutely screamers on either carbs or TB's and big lairy cams

Pepe was/is a truly awesome car, properly individual, stuck 2 fingers up at everyones misconceptions and had money spent on it with an unparralelled level of commitment
IIRC the pale blue one is in fact the same car as the red one in the pic with pepe after simon got it sprayed.

lmfao @ the volvo incident!
The yellow one used to get down Guilford cruise a fair bit 'back in the day' was it 5 stud to fit the super touring rims iirc?
I do think PEPE has a gash ally roof mount spoiler now though!
