340r returns !

[laurieb]

Got the 340r back from Maidstone Sports Cars complete with supercharged Honda engine on Saturday. Three weeks late but well worth the wait. The guys at MSC did a great job - only glitch was a non functional digital Stack display (petrol/temp) - swapped for a new gauge by Andy in 1 minute flat. And it's FAST as accurately predicted on this forum.... very very very FAST. Not giving it the full bananas yet cos I'm still bedding in tyres and brakes but in the tests I have given it acceleration seems to be an insane blur of snatched gearchanges. Took it up to the Goodwood breakfast yesterday and parked in the paddock area where it got lots of attention ....
Apart from bedding in I just have a couple of other bits to attend to and she'll be ready to track. Looks great in Ardent Red - got a couple of piccies which I'll post tonight.

Awesome - can't wait to see it as is now Laurie. Last time I saw it Julian was taking it apart.

You should get some good return on the engine and all the bits, it looked almost brand new!

In Belgium at least it is already almost dark.

Laurie,
I saw your car at Goodwood yesterday, spotted the 6 speed gear knob and thought, hello!

Hi Laurie,

We met very briefly at MSC on Saturday - I was the one drooling all over your 340R !! - looked absolutely stunning in the new colour scheme.

Have fun !

Very very nice.

My God it is fast, just look at how the number plate is all blurred. That's quick

I really wasn't sure when I heard your plans, but that looks fantastic Laurie.
