Still on the ceiling boys & girls

Happy am I, very happy, but then who would not be.

Stevie Turbo can you please explain what you mean about making it through today. Do you have a car none on your profile listed.

As for the Rolling Road reading high, well I for one have considered that and am happy with the results of the day.

If I had gone by myself no one would have believed me but with the Griff 500 on first and the figures in the right places then my Chimaera 400HC with its surprising figures followed by a Tuscan with its figures spot on, but down from its last run,she had a full service, valves down + clutch, the Tuscan that is. Well I am sure that the figures are correct.They were all for the BHP at the wheels.

Remember I have 5 witnesses to this, 5 men good and true, who know how to keep each of us down to earth and all of them are convinced, seeing is believing, in the flesh is well so good. I recall saying that I only expected to see 210BHP not bad I believed, how wrong I was.

I am sure that someone will always put her down, but what the hell, she is my beast, my Silver Chimaera 400HC, here for all to see, tracked, driven hard, worked hard, kept in condition better than most with less miles and yes she may need a nose job for the stone chips, but hell she wears her SO2's with pride and if you wave, she will roar back. Catch her at Kirkistown on the 2nd May.


IF YOU CAN or Dare!!!!!!!!!

Yes Stevie and that Bugatti thing you have in the garage with 1001BHP how is that going these days!!!!!!!!

We did not go on spare of the moment thing and I have checked out and not found any of these horror stories which you are familar with. While your enlightenment is on this is interesting have you yourself been to this RR and had a session or personal experience. If not then how can anyone trust 2nd or 3rd stories.

Hi me again, well I only trust David & Gregg Connelly of TORQUE FLYTE to work on my car, but Doagh has a rolling road, and will never work on my car.

So as rolling road figures go, as I will not be heading to England its fine by me,

Well Stevie may have his explaination, but for me well.

Fully Gas Flowed Heads, Different Cam and from my source also bigger valves with the full HC spec which is not much. What did it cost, Nothing was already on the car when I got it, also this was all new with the car when it left the factory in '96.

Just lucky for me.

Oh Stevie why not come on down to Kirkistown on the 2nd May and see the car and the rest of the TVR's. May be then we can chat over your thoughts on things.
