Steven what is Waccy Baccy ?.
Well Ed ,you know,wink,wink,say no more !Grass/weed/reefer/skunk/boom/ganja.
I even have a basic knowledge of Latvian,Polish and Romanian which helps at the car wash but this skunk things
beats me,what do you feed it on.
Oh well ignorance is bliss or as they say at the benefit office Nezinasana ir svetlaime Steven.
Dropped off Johnny at lunch
Adrian gave Johnny a preop check with no major issues found (phew)
Boy he knows his stuff! - within 100 yds of driving he'd spotted the "issues" I wanted them to look at
We talked about tyres and came up with a couple of options - DBS alloys with std 295's on or existing alloys and up the tyre to 285's I'm favouring the latter as the existing alloys are the light weight ones.
Probably will go to PSS's as well.

Keep us posted Mike. Your car is going to be very special indeed. Am I wrong in stating that it will be packing a full GT4 race spec motor but with a 5ltr capacity topped off with a dual induction system? I am going to have a wager with you. I reckon on Bamford Rose achieving at least 560 BHP. Anything less and you lose the bet. All monies to Help the Heroes. I'm in for £10 cos I'm flash!

5.0GT4 spec plus larger valves, twin throttles & pinnacle exhaustsProbably 200 cell cats with resonators, exhaust valve always closed until the sport button is pressed then all hell will break lose!
You'd better pay the £10 now

Do you think you Johnny561.2 (My guess for the final figure ) will be ready for the Mcgurk meet?
If so, I call shotgun on first passenger ride please
.
Maybe I should start a poll ) will be ready for the Mcgurk meet?If so, I call shotgun on first passenger ride please
.The "boys" were cagey about finish date as they need to allow for service work and last minute customer requests
Hopefully it will be done by then but I'd rather they didn't rush it.

That doesn't sound unreasonable 
.To quote Doctor Mike "As a result of pinnacle kit and cams, Blofeld should be the biggest performance delta we have seen on a 450BHP DB9".
So..as we approach the end of week 6 it will all be worth the wait....
