It will look spectacular when it runs in the 6's...

haha - you are 100% right - i'd be happy if it were still in primer & ran 6's

yes it's a full tube frame to 25.1 (basically unlimted cage wise so we can go as fast as we can physically manage)

turbo's are borg warner hybrids - we are currently speaking to AET here in the Uk who were involved with the original turbo design & who also have some suggestions to improve things for the future - not worried about making any more bhp for now at all until we get enough test passes & datalogging out of the way first & get the clutch & suspension right - good to know though that potentially we have a few hundred bhp possibly available for the future though

Thanks god she's here !!
i had horrible visions of boats sinking etc etc :chuckle:

At last


Please be in 1 piece


Looking ok !


Get in there -


Paint is fantastic in the flesh & a great job done by the guys in the US


Ready to go soon


The engine room


The **** pit




Over the moon to have the car here in the Uk now as seems ages since i last saw it in the US. She looks incredible and some amazing & exciting times ahead i'm sure. Bound to be a huge learning curve and lots of grief & hassle on the way but you only live once & isnt that why we all drive what we drive

not too sure about the baby blue paint, I would have gone for something more aggressive tbh, engine is a monster though, and rear wheels/tyres... !When's the first outing in the UK?

That relationship will be limited, that car was built by Vinny Ten.

Vinny Ten was just the driver as I understand and the cars were built by Andrew and Gary the techs.
