Mr 'Uriel',

This is what you need to do to sell your motor.....

(insert a few extra BHP under the bonnet. 500 should do nicely !)

Check out the second pic too.....

Nice

That was my original plan actually. Well, not a huge blower, but to pull the engine and set about making some serious power. I'd still like to do it too, but present circumstances mean it has to live in the street and I think that upsets the neighbours enough as it is without me out there blocking the road with engine hoists and stuff

Though as of last night it seems that the 'vette has once again become my daily driver. There was a 3 car pile up at Whitemare Pool behind my and the front car managed to veer across the road into the side of my Wedge. No serious damage though (hopefully). I'll probably be taking it up to HHC later on to see if they can give me a quote.

I talked to the bloke that owned the 'Vee-Hickle', and he informed me that he had 'taken it up to 80 mph !!'.

As you can imagine, I was VERY impressed with that.
( couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. Even Mrs Bomb uttered a polite 'titter' too)


I mean to say,.... I've had my T350 up to nearly 90 mph - take no prisoners eh !!

( now there's a cue for 'BlackAl' to respond to.....)

What a waste.

Though to be fair, unless I was on a drag strip I'd feel nervous doing over 80 with the visibility you must have in that thing

You only had it up to 90 when you broke down and I towed you home!

Liked the picture of the 'Vette, though - Is that Homer Simpson behind the wheel?

Well it looks like him (only a lot fatter)

Those Vettes either have a very low roof ----- or someone is sitting on a very fat wallet?

Sorry BlackAl, I've corrected your text as you had made a slight typo error.

6/10 : must try harder !
