Thanks chaps. You'll be able to see/hear/feel/experience it on our stand at Goodwood, so drop in if you're passing.
I'll definately be dropping in. Can't wait to see it. Much Kudos to you sir.
Its Charlie's work, I just make the tea and help him out when I can. I stand head bowed and with cap in hand, at the mere suggestion of his shadow.
Don't know whether anyone's posted this, but I've just come across it:

FABULOUS!! Looneys at their absolute best. To be honest, if the car ends up being a runner and doesn't need servicing every 30 minutes, I'd prefer one to a Veyron. After all - they're making more than 50 of those, so they're almost common. Yuk.
Edit - Great T-shirt...

Glad you like it chaps, and the T. You’re not properly dressed without one, although your mother wouldn’t like it.
Charley will be putting on the Custom Chrome Ltd exhaust sometime this week. It won’t be fully mapped for a bit longer, so putting the lpg in when he did, was a good move. It’ll make the car genuinely useable on a daily basis. The MoT should be ok, there isn’t anything wrong for it to fail on (fingers crossed).. the only hassle is from the DVLA. They always seem to send back the V5 with it inscribed; 2.7 litres. They’re obviously too busy sending porn around their intranet down there to be reading PPC.
The Rover will be running regularly down at Goodwood, so call in, we’re in one of the stands between the edge of the cricket pitch and the start line. It’s being towed down there by the Rolls, which should make for a splendidly eccentric sight. You’re right, who wants a Bugatti anyway?
(SHOCK HORROR: PPC turbo tries to suck small boy in.)
edit: Here are some more recent shots. I’ll try and post some more later.

I love the story with the DVLA..classic..I used to get some funny stares in the post office when I would tax my truck `Private HGV` for £120 with a 10 litre turbo...
You mention the blowers ...what`s the current thinking with concern to making them fit?
..and I see the engine is above the bonnet level ... I would love to see a big bulge or a cut out for the intake....Well done on it`s remarkable progress..It looks 110% and really, really mean...
Britain needs more guys like Charley...

Its going to be difficult, unless the whole front is redesigned. There could be some hacking away of the bulkhead, but it could be that smaller turbos will work just as well. Either way, its a job for winter onwards.
The bonnet was sorted earlier this week. I don't think you'll be dissapointed..
