Fair play to him for the record, well done. But it looks awful, and the interior is a joke. It might be a road car technically, but it's not suited to the road. callyman said: slinky said: AVX490K is a "private" plate.. Seeing as the car is A VX4/90 FD Victor..

I don't get it. So why comment? I might hunt one of your threads down just to "comment". You don't get it because you don't understand... Haters got to hate..

Is this car a all British attempt at this worlds fastest street car. Or is help and tuning coming from the Americans, Would be a shame if it was.

It's tuned by Shane Tecklenburg from California, who is an honorary brit. Turbos are Precision, engine is a Chevy. It was made here,and we run it here. It's a joint effort. No shame at all..

Oh such a wonderfull car and such a brilliant effort. Just can't get my head 'round the car seeing as I used to work on those when they were new - ish.
Nah, ignore all the assholes and carry on.
Shouldn't there be a PH fund to help him on to the world record?

Obviously you have your opinion,and that is your god given right. Why not peruse the build thread and see why the interior is the way it is. When you say it's not suited for the road.In what way? Show me a Nissan Micra that can do 6's and we'll build it like that. IT'S A STREET LEGAL PRO MOD, they look like that.

I don't get it. Surely, being the bloke you are, and having modded TVR's, etc, you're having a larf?

Anyhoo, apart from the odd comment it's fantastic to see the support we have out here in PH land. Thank you all for getting behind the project. Now we've shown a little bit of what we can do we're eager to get back out there in June and let er rip..
