Mate,a taff is someone from Cardiff,as there's the river taff hence the nickname,it's like me calling you a cockney cos you live in Essex!!
As for the intelligence thing,I can't remember Essex being famous for it's exceptionally bright residents,unless of course were talking about the colour of their hair,skin and stilettos!!!!
And it's renown not renoun,that's not even a word.

i'll correct you (if i'm allowed to) in case rod's not her in time, but he's put a LOT into the car, he used to build concordes or something in a previous life so i think he knows a thing or 2 about putting wires together

I don't think Rod having built Concorde's is much of a credit to his technical skills or the reliabillity of his work

i knew rod has/had an aircraft engineering back ground but still sheedy built the car as it sits now and i know rod helped out on the odd occation but its still sheedys experience and knowledge thats gone into it


would be a completley different story if it where built in rods shed

but thats all irelivent as its the best saff out there today by far
as its not a 1 trick pony

How do you convert horsepower to watts?

Look, all the pisstaking aside:

Rod's car is stupendously fast full stop.

Compare it to a Veyron, a tuned or non-tuned supercar: it still is in another league to most cars.
