Nearly Killed Omar Sharif in the Festival Theatre car park once.

Grew up in Rowlands Castle.

Still down all the time.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

IMHO: Monaro is crap for this kind of event. Too heavy and has skinny wheels. Then again it is 3/4 of a mile and you will get some speed up by then...

Race logic will help but it is still 1700kg.

This is what the `ro` does best, mid range speed is awesome.

I think if I had the heads & cams (with a LS7 clutch) I might give it a go. With only 400ish horses I would get a good pasting. There is only one thing worse than a TVR owner and that's a smug one.

Hi Russ, good to hear from you, and pleased that you are driving my old car to the way God had intended ????

Mmmmmm one week before before I take the Monaro down to Italy, you do pick your times Russ, my misses will be livid if i drop another clutch and have to come home in a 1 ltr euro box and the car on a flatbed.

Still besides that I am supposed to be grown up now Thanks for the invite though, I am sure there are a couple of guys on here that will give you a run for your money, but saying that my old cerb was well quick and in a straight hammer down fight she would eat anything in sight !!!!!

Nice to see you on this forum and if you have followed any of the threads you will see that I have swaped one TVR for another, Mmmmmmmm

The only way you`ll get stuffed is if there is a burger van there.

You think I have a chance?

Would have to go 9 psi

From 80-160 I was catching everything, you`ll be running about at 155-160 TV at 3/4 mile

That will be hard to beat without a supercar budget, lets face it even a Cerbera will have cost more.

i was very surprised how well the `ro` placed.

[AM04ARO]

I am signed up for it. Then realised that its near bloody Ipswich - never mind.

Going to take a small power pill, booked in with Picadors on Thursday next with Paul doing the tune.

160 at 3/4 mile - suits me.

Apparently we can put down our 'dream' cars to run against.

What do you think, I fancy tinker27's ls2 based RX7 (thou he will beat me), an M5 and maybe the viper?

Holly Crap guys, have you seen what some of the guys are turning up in!!!!! just had a look on the Cerbera forum and there are some serious contenders out there.

While the Misses said no to the Monaro going out she didn't say anything about the RX7 he he he, so that's a maybe. Unless it is going to be hot weekend and the thought of a barbie and few beers might tempt me into the garden.

Talking of which, is splatspeeds barbie still on ?

Good plan

[jumplead]

or a standard CV8 333, and to ignore the screaming from under the bonnet? think that'd work
