You're right, not your right. It's not difficult, just think of what you are saying and if it's 2 words that are shortened, like you are or there is, the apostrophe replaces some letters to join them and it becomes you're or there's. I thought that schools actually taught you something back in your day, or did you learn Latin or Greek?
, brilliant at maths which served me well im from Hampshire so fu*k the English .

The engine that did 210 was 680bhp + 150 Nitrous. The most we ever ran was 680 +200 Nitrous with the Nitrogen 'push' connected it is possible that we had 900bhp during those tests.
The engine is now 838bhp + 250 on the push so potentially 1090bhp, but we will not be risking all that. Mark has suggested that 950bhp is more than enough & that is maybe enough to do 215mph, WHO KNOWS.
This is what 900bhp goes like 187mph in this run before half way.

Nothing has been decided.
Have several options.
1. Mag run, have 3 offers so far.
2. Head to Head with the 200mph project car although ive been told that is now abandoned, maybe someone knows the truth about that. Its a bit annoying after all the talk about kicking our butts
. Cant think of any other challengers maybe the Scandy can be tempted over, but i doubt it.3. Run at Vmax, I like this option as the Vmax record is 211mph & it would be nice to try to take that away from the Porsche monopoly of it.
Cheers Rod

Time will be called at some time in 2010 whatever is achieved even if we dont break the existing record. Im 65 this year & getting too old for this caper. If you look around this Forum you wont find many past 50 let alone 65 so ive done well keeping the interest for so long. I realise all you youngsters think your in this for life but facts say it wont happen, Yep its time to go this year.

I think your totally off the welt to be honest Rod but your the coolest old man bar Hugh Hefner ive came across.......
I mean the pub talk for instance "my old fella's cossie's is having a crack at 215Mph this year"
All the very best with it, I'll be watching with interest

Ive been driven for 8 years to push the Topspeed record where its unlikely ever to get beaten, once thats over maybe I wont be too sad to see it go.
