, and again! This has got to get on Top Gear.....I can just hear Clarkson now........... "Performance and noise on an epic level with another torque to get the earth spinning backwards....."
Great effort lads, and to think that I was chuffed for having painted my lounge single handedly the other week!
Its at the Stoneleigh show this weekend, and we want to take it to Bruntingthorpe. It'll be running anytime soon I guess. The big issue at the moment is getting brakes which will make it stop.[/quote]
hows about a transmission brake off a truck?[/quote]
I was wrong earlier, we've changed the set up. The front discs are from a Merc ML320 (calipers yet to be sourced) and the rear set up is now now Wilwood NASCAR.[/quote]
Al, on a serious note, if your fantastic monster is to stop in a reasonale distance from 190,200 mph, you will need the Amg 390cm discs to be safe!!! [these will require 18" wheels].
Iam taking your car[monster] to weigh 1700+ kilos.I hope they can be sourced at reasonable cost!!
Regards Mark.

.. that too, thanks.
Hey Al,
My father also has a meteor engine - unfortunately i cant see the pics as they say 'bandwidth exceeded'
Is there any way you can send direct? My father is currently worried about starting his beast without tying it down to mount everest - so I'm sure he'd be interested to follow your progress

Argh! "PhotoBucket Bandwidth Exceeded"! 
Are there any photos hosted elsewhere? (I've not read the middle of the thread...)

Phil,
What's your dad going to do with it? Would he like to sell it?
If you get in touch with me, with your dad's details, I'll pass them onto Charlie.
See them here in the meantime.

Cheers.
I want to see it 
Did you try..

(I might be a luddite, so forgive me. Is it because of the drain on MY photobucket account?)

Tigran,
I shall do. The snag is, I'm faced with over 2 years of fots and words. If I carry on now, some people might want to know how it all started, rather than just see from the start of the third quarter. I'll give it some thought though and I'll be putting updates on. Last night for instance, it was seats and a gearbox bulkhead. Perhaps we should do a loose insert with the magazine as a freebie, just on the Rover. Its more than just a tale of engineering genius, its the story of an automotive Fred Dibnah.
If you can't wait, go into Smiths this weekend and see Charlie's spot in the March issue on page 64 <it has the red '68 Camaro (480 lb/ft torque/500bhp)and the Fiat Cinquecento (320bhp) on the front cover>. If you're like me with other mags, you'll pick it up, read it, laugh like a lunatic.. and put it back. God, how I hate people like you.
Added: .. cheers Mark. Loading all those on took me the best part of an hour, so I couldn't face it so soon again. Hopefully, the demand will lessen. If anyone wants fots for their sites, e-mail me and gladly I'll bang a selection off to you. All I ask is that you credit them.
