Cheers, had a quick browse through and will finish off later when I am not at work, I should actually be doing something today haha

How reliable has the coupling proven to be and have you had any issues or breakages transferring the torque to the snout of the second engine?
Well my total mileage is only around 100 miles so far Mudgey , but its working fine so far .








Thank you Peanut and John , i hope neither of you, or you graham, get sacked for pointing at the screen at work and going w.t.h.... repeatedly.

I was at Blenheim with my TVR and saw this car parked close to the TVR area. It was nothing short of incredible. Couldn't stop looking at it. Totally, brilliantly bonkers smile

just wonder what sort of reception you would get if you turned up in it at the next Climate change get together.
Would it qualify as a hybrid?

That does sound very nice ! Will it now be wrapped up in the garage for the winter or will you be sliding round in the snow and ice with it ?
