One thing you couldnt do with the money you have spent on your engine is pay for the hosting for all your threads about it, according to the latest stats Ł17.56 of the Ł20 quid membership fee goes towards paying for the "hello look at me i'm phil" posts.

Martin Hadland......you can pick up an Escos for 10k

Build a YB with 650plus from scratch with uprated gearbox/diff/brakes/suspension and other safety items.....i can assure you its WELL over 10k...unless of course you steal the parts....which quite frankly aint for me.....


If you can do all that for under 10k Martin....i bow down to YOU as you quoted me 12k for a 500bhp engine...and that didnt include uprated gearbox/diff/brakes/suspension ...Oh deny it..of course i made that up

Phil, the 12K he quoted you included a hefty labour charge, thats what expoerts like martin do for a living, should be FAR cheaper than that to build it yourself, plus he was quoting you for a reliable 500bhp engine, not a use once and then never have at full boost again 650bhp on race fuel motor, thats FAR easier to make than a reliable 500bhp road fuel motor.

i didn’t realise you were including the running gear as you only mentioned the cost of a big hp ENGINE and as i have said before i have NEVER quoted you for an engine and NEVER will!

Phil, ive built lots of engines, you are the one that just talks about them arent you?

You seem to have us confused.

If you see someone mic'ing up a crank and making sure its not gone tapered thats probably me, if you see someone finger fukking a rotty, then its probably you.

Or have you actually built dozens of engines but you are just too modest to mention them, cause that doesnt seem very likely given that you cant even THINK about doing something without posting about it 300 times let alone actually do it and keep your mouth shut.

Phil yes, loads of people have seen my cars over the years.

If you ask someone like Alex flower he can probably remember me posting engine building pictures about 7 years ago on old forums we were on and has been out in that car too, and likewise there are other people on here who have been in other of my cars.

But aside from all that, why would i say anything if it wasnt true?

Lol, cheers alex, although obviously you dont realy exist, arent well known on here and ive just registered your account and backdated it, lol.

Phil you really are a paranoid fucker, why would i make stuff up just to look like im more experienced than you, who to the best of my knowledge havent ever built any engiens have you?

I think even my girlfriend has probably done more engien work than you have, and just to prove it here are a few pictures of her, although obviously you will claim ive just photshopped these up in two mins flat, or that its not really my girlfriend even thoguh she has been at several PF meets with me including the paintballing and is in the photos maria posted:

Cleaning up a head, lapping in the valves etc (basic head recondition)



Setting points gap with a dwell angle meter, doubt you would understand anything old school like that though mate!



Reconditioning a starter motor



She looks a bit younger there case she was only 16 at the time, just prooving the point though about how long some of us have been into these funny car and engine thingys you have recently taken an interest in and somehow think you know about just cause you have spent a load of your dads money on a couple of them.
