This is one of the things that eats my money but is sure worth it with the smiles you get out of it and it is road legal too.

Lol. Glad you like it.
It started out as a rally jeep back in the late 70s with a lotus cortina engine. It wasnt very quick because it never had much tourqe so the owner/builder put a rover v8 in it.
I have had a best of 10.7 and 124mph on the quater mile, But on my last run when i blew my head gasket i ran the last half on 4 cyl and ran a 10.9 @ 114mph so think it would of been a 10.2 or 10.3 otherwise.
And the engine is in the front too biggrin And i have just progressed in to dragracing. Im looking to run a 9.5 if possibleand the terminal speed will be 140+mph. Ill try to get some more photos up when i get a little more time.
