Put some big Union Jacks (Flags?) on it and show the world who's the Daddy...!

How do you get insurance on such a car, anyway?

I highly doubt they ever drive it on public roads anymore, but I'd love to see this pull up at the lights next to me one day.

The temptation to give it some welly on that dual carriageway must be huge!
I guess just knowing NOTHING will beat you is enough to keep him in check.

It's nutters like Andy that make the world a better place. Congratulations to all involved.

I think this bumper sticker is appropriate and should be put on the back of the car.

Probably a lot easier, and a lot cheaper than you'd think.
If it's still registered as a 70's Vauxhall, it could be down as a classic car policy.
Add to that the limited mileage each year, and you never know it could be stupidly cheap.
What the road usage insurance is, and it's insured value are will be two VERY different things im sure.

Mr Frost, could you enlighten us please ?

Nah. Even RV3'll be in trouble against a mapped 335d

I've been telling people it's the fastest road legal car in the world. Don't make me a liar please!

We're talking here of the tight confines of a dragstrip. Other cars have certainly gone faster on more open roads. How they might fare over a standing-start quarter-mile would be interesting to see. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport has been credited with 258mph top speed but a "mere" 9.7sec over the quarter.

Ok, let me rephrase that.
"The fastest accelerating road legal car in the world".
If it could top 258mph on the quarter it'd be much more bonkers than it already is.

As far as I can tell just the front grill is off the original car.

I don't get it.

[jamespink]

Awesome effort guys, congratulations! The car looks so beautifully finished now, with I guess much more to come... Brilliant!
