I didn't get a proper look at this - glad the build thread is now up to date.... explains a lot! Was great to see it tearing along the Prescott Hill.... can certainly shift Excellent build and a proper hoot to drive from what wwe saw of it at teh gathering. Top marks fella. ;D It was the first time its been used in real anger on track, due to few suspension and steering tweeks. But yeah it certainly is a hoot to drive with the LSD Prescott was a good shake down. Heading for some full on track action in the near future however first I've got a limited power issue to sort out. It's currently only making 140bhp at the flywheel rather than the 155-160bhp that it should be making. It basically flatlines at 6K rather than climbing to make the peak power at 7K. Hoping it is simply a fuel pump issue rather than my revised exhaust exit limiting the power due to the time and effort that went into building it! Finally a true sleeper. Must be fun on the street. It's not as much fun on the street as you would imagine, as nobody even suspects that it might be what it actually is lol!

See,This for me is RR. Really Really nice touches and work to a car most people (My self included if i'm honest) gloss over or disregard. Keep spreading the word.

Me and a mate of mine are off for a 3 week tour of Europe in July. We did a road trip over in the US a few years back and was literally the best experience in life to date. So we are hitting europe and to make it more of an achievement we are using my VVC 100 to do it in Why not ay! Here's the line up:- Arras - Maine Square Festival! Brugge Brussels Spa Luxembourg Strasbourg Basel Zurich Spiez Grimsel Pass San Bernardino Pass Chur Stelvio Pass Ferrara - Arctic Monkeys Gig! Milan Turin Bra Monte Carlo Pisa San Marino Venice Maribor Budapest Hungaroring Bratislava Vienna Munich Frankfurt Nurburgring Amsterdam It will cover approx 3500 miles over the 3 weeks... think it will be closer to 4000 myself but we'll see! I ve got an open page on facebook so feel free to follow it on there: www.facebook.com/EuroTour2013InAMetro Here's the office tracker that has been made up by one of my colleagues... shows the as the crow flys route!
