Was just as quick as I remember! :D Took Julie's dad out in it for the first time, just to get some petrol. I think he liked the 0 - 60 test I did though as I left one junction, it was squirming a little!! :o :D

Like a motorbike on four wheels must be a good feeling.

I've been out in this and it is pretty cool.

The colour is very GAY however, almost as gay as wearing a plastic bra.

Can I come for a ride ? it looks ace. Dunt matter if its pink with flowers on, its still a mans car.

Is this a built-yer-self jobbie ? I always fancied such thing, but doing it outside my terrace house I think it would get tramps sleeping in it mid-build.

Imagine the setup board for that thing tho! can you adjust the camber angles ?

Yeah Jimmy, I built it! :D

Didn't you see it at last years York regional? Took Stu out and found an empty grass field to play in! :smile: I'll take you for a spin (wink, wink) in it if you want.

Yeah, can alter rear toe and camber, and front toe and camber. Could alter the front caster with an angle grinder! :o It's got adjustable shocks aswell that I've played with........ :cool:

Has been unofficially timed (by mi Julie) at 5.8 seconds to 60. That was before I fitted the Limited Slip Diff. It puts the power down much better now. :rolleyes:
