Well it official, I'm finally old.
Discussion
Pick this up next week hopefully 
[url][img]
It'll be replacing the Corsa Nurburgring as a daily but I'm keeping it so I expect it'll share the duties (together with the Ro when it's back)
Few things I want done so it's going straight to Monkfish, but ATM it'll stay std (I said that about the Ro
). 
Lost contact with the car after it left Picadors but got a call about it a while back.
This is why I chose this one

Mums with us full time now and I didn't think I'd have time to spend looking at cars for a while. How wrong was I.
I'm lucky to be able to work with the Dealer regarding its recomissioning, bottom line though, it even still smells new
Guy bought 3 from James at Picadors with cash.
He never returned to collect the last one so it remained just preregistered to Picadors and in storage with them.
Eventually he took it away after Picadors wouldn't give him what he wanted for the car.
A year later it turned up at Brindley Vauxhall where the MD had been helping its owner export a car to his Bosche Service business in South Africa.
My main concern was the underside, believe me, its spotless under there
Neil hope you get better soon mate, it's come at the wrong time that's for sure.

Fastest colour aswell
Which isn't very fast at all 
Nice big boot for the Zimmer and twin flask holders for trips to the seaside.What's the plan for the Monaro Jez?
The plan is to take it to the salt flats, so big power and traction, capable of sub 10 quarters and big numbers over the mile.
It'll be at least a 2-3 year paper build.
Mid engine and who knows, maybe even electric as the tech becomes more accessible.

The bombers going back as it was with some minor tweaks
Another LS7? I would have thought you'd be better off with an LSX ?No, it's better to understand the build before you commit resources in any direction.
The new build will be centered around an LS9 block which I already have.
For the time being its record useage and look at hardware/tune.
I do agree about the LS7 though, seems Hennesey can't get reliability either.

Off topic but this takes some beating over the mile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BT2JjzHa-c
Impressive, but not exactly safe was it.Anything I do from now on is safety first as I take a long time to heal now

Jezz, you've come into the 21st century, sorted. Monkfish.... Oh dear that's the rest of us getting delayed whilst yrs gets a few "small" mods then.

No mods just a gearbox remap ( want to talk to you about that so can you email me your number I think the one I have is an old one) plus possibly underseal and a good once over.
