Some of the goodies I've seen today.

Took the little car to Talon Sportscars (the guys who built my car) for some fettling, while the car was being done I had this to play with :bigsmile:

The blue car is rear engined, note the flared rear arches to accomadate the wider track.

Flip me Loz what a little animal that Metro you borrowed must be. I can still remember (just) how quick my 170bhp GT3 was and that must be lighter. Is that engine next on your list then? :bigsmile:

What motor is in the back of that blue one?
 
It's not as powerful as my car, but it does pull beautifully, add in the induction noise from the bare cone filter & the twitter from the wastegate as well & it's just brilliant! :bigsmile: Funnily enough, Dudley's (the owner) talked about fitting a light pressure turbo to mine in the past, I may take him up on it one day! :D
 
No, mine is the 143bhp. The Last rolling road saw 154bhp I think. The 1.4 is running stock internals & the turbo on light pressure I think he said 3.5 psi. The car also has a full interior (something of a novelty for me!) & no body lightening modifications. :)

Cobra vs Stratos, hmm probably the Cobra for summer and the Stratos with roof for the winter.

Did you find the genie! It doesn't look like these guys beleive in the recession or did they roll out all of these cars for your benefit?
 
Nope, that's how the workshop is when you walk through the door, outside is 5 donor cars another 3 metro's! Every time I've been up there, it's is full of projects. Quite a few of the cars go abroad which probably helps. They also take on unfinished projects, the green cobra had recently arrived & had been sat in a garage for 10 years!

Lemon entry! :lol: You are king of the daft pun Waynne! :bigsmile:
 
Daft puns! Not me. As an alternative to the yellow paint you could just sit in the fireplace and if someone asks why just say "I'm Loz, the Grate detective!"
 
I guess we take them for granted. I suppose we lust after the Camaros, Chargers and Mustangs and they must seem pretty ordinary to you?
