I'm not on the list, this is a bit scary. Do I have to wait a whole week for Craig to get back to find out if it's just an oversight.
Do think I can drive having bitten my nails down to the wrists!

Gavin



No, now I will have to! Muwahahahahahah!



If I've bitten my arms down to the wrists you can drive the SEAC, but I get the Lotus/Griff/Supra as and when it arrives!

Ah Tony - trust the beast's in fine fettle? Just looking at the piccies on your profile: the Diablo remains the ultimate power in the universe.

Von Joustawicz - I thought you had one of those M14s? What's occurring, Kemosabe?

I don't think they're ready yet... but I seem to remember that "Von Joustawicz" has the first customer car on order (??)

I've taken the liberty of throwing together some stats for the list of attendees ...

The figures are gathered from a number of places all over the net and a variety of magazines.. so if you have figures that differ, please let me know and I'll update it..

Also, figures for standard cars are provided, where you have figures for non-standard cars, please let me know and I'll update these as well..

Man, I wish I could make it just to see and experience that list of cars. But I am stuck in Nottingham, unless anyone is going down to VMAX from the city!!!

slinky,
Dude, you have far too much time on your hands.
But.....the last time I looked, my Boxster S was a 3.2 litre car!

Slinky,

I'd love it if my Cerbera 4.5 made those kind of figures in real life! It really produces 350BHP and 300lb/ft - verified on rolling road.

Cheers,

Rob

Thanks Guy! Got new discs (OE, as aftermarkets are like proverbial rocking horse poo). Had the brake pads changed to ones that work over a wider temperature range. Also had the fluid upgraded to the higher DOT stuff that doesn't boil so easily. We'll see if this makes sod all difference to stopping a 2 tonne barge from 160mph in 500 yards

No 3 - Seeing a quattro sideways all the way round the top bend would be amusing - although not for the tyres...

And some of those figures are due to increase, as you can see, I'm still missing one or two prices and figures, so if anyone has the missing details, i'd be grateful if they could email me..
