Not been out in the girl Kate for a month due to long working hours and excess amounts of salt dropped by our local council. So today the drought had to end, dry-ish roads and a free day so off came the roof, on went the hats and warm coats and away we went for a blast round some great North Wales roads. The roads were damp/wet for some of the run so quite a lazy drive but the car was awesome,the last mapping session really polished things off. I take my hat off to those who use their car as a daily drive but for those who don't it reminds you why they're special when you've not been out for a while smile By the way if that was you in the yellow Chim near Llangollen you have a lovely looking car Sir!

Which Blower - the SC Power? - with intercooler or not? Not seen any work that Lloyds have done on blowers before.

Hi Nick,it will be an SC blower running a mere 5lbs of boost and without an intercooler, at least to start with. Don't think Lloyds have supercharged a Chim before though I may be wrong, they certainly have experience of blown Jag engines. Should be an interesting project for them.
