No curly locks, but my squeeze at the time did spend some time with me on the bonnet... it was a Welsh beach, at dawn, in the summer of '95, i was 19
I have fond memories of that Capri

Launched the Weltmeister mobile back up from Silverstone last night.

Bloody. Hell. Fire.

Only once was 6th disengaged and I can honestly say that never before have so many socialists been so moved to flash their disapprobation.

The search is now on to find the requisite road for the attainment of Holy Ruf canonisation.

Feck me...

So you like it....

AF tells me that the boost can now be wound even HIGHER than at Vmax when it did the 190 run.

Any thoughts on what I can do when I get me 3.2 Carerra then? ... for about 150 quid!


If perchance you have an empty seat on the next Dawn Raid Martyn...

You must be climbing the walls mate.

Christ this next V.Max is going to be interesting!

I hope I've at least found a car by then or I can see some serious begging on the horizon

Following more analysis it seems that my long term complaint about what has always seemed to be torque related vibration is being pinpointed.

The feeble front diff needs attention so the following upgrades are en route ~ modified crown wheel & pinion, ltd slip diff and larger carrier bearings.

With any luck, this will ensure solidity across the range.

It's also having 8 pot Brembo brakes (360mm 'floating bell' grooved) amd a recalibrated speed showing 240mph with a motif reading along the lines of 'Vermacht Assault.'

I thought it was difficult to drive at less than 140 - I was wrong - it's 160.


Hail.
