well a well earned play this weekend including a dice with a porsche and a ferrari...

We followed through town by a lovely ferrari which as we approached the national speed limit sign on the edge of town soon was to become a distant blur in our mirrors...hhaha

reminded me of the film fast and the furious when the supra pulls up at the lights and the driver brags he has a 70k ferrari........ oh dear bet he did not impress his blonde passenger....

My cars going really well since doing the valve lash and a small mod to the carb.... might be worth you guys trying ... ive removed the chock flap on the double pumper... im going to be using the auto choke mechanism to increase the revs when i turn on the aircon as apposed to choking the engine to death.. the choke arm and flap have been removed and im now using the part on the choke that increaees the revs to connect to the aircon so it doesnt stumple.. the removal of the flap has made a small noticeable increase in engine reponse... strange as the choke had been disconnected before i removed it , simply by removing the flap has helped...

ye ha what a buzz...

Certainly sounds like you are having some fun Dom thumbup, that is what these cars are all about ( having fun that is; I am not advocating road racing in any way shape or form, perish the thought wink )
I don't bother so much with cars really, almost feels like you are cheating if you know what I mean.
I like to play with bikes when I get the chance, much more rewarding yes
Keep up the good work fella byebye

been looking at HP carb and fuel injection , but i think quad turbo diesel is the way forward.......laugh

yeh and bikes??????....well ive still got my licence.... youve got boxhill(i know because i used to be there most evenings and weekends) ive got the cat and fiddle run( the closest you will EVER come to the IOM mountain course)....

ive got my husaberg which gets the mad nut biker out of my system every so oftern, but its not insured at the moment so i use it on my parent driveway(1/2 mile ), but car is such a laugh and less likely of a tug than the bike......

As said fun is what its all about. and getting a tug takes the fun out of it.

Now Wayne 187 again?????
