Old news ...

Built by some guy in England with a whole lotta $$$ (Or is that PPP?) and a whole lotta time on his hands.

Will he ever get back what he's invested? Probably not, but who cares.

He either ran out of money or is too busy driving it to update his web site.

It's funny that no matter how much money you throw at them, they don't go all that much faster, top speed wise... I mean I know gearing and all... but...

Adding the national speed limit to your top speed, is it worth it? heh.. I am doing 10 over, I have two gears, and 2500 rpms left..

What more do you want...

The level of fabrication in that car is absolutely unbelievable.

Seeing what he can do makes me want to throw up my hands and never go in the garage again.

Funny, I've thought the same thing about YOUR work

That's a damn fine compliment. Thank you.

However, I'm not just not in his ballpark, I'm not in his galaxy.

This is off topic, but speaking of incredible fabrication, check this out:

I've had a couple 510 projects that I loved. I'm sticking to the 914 now, but Bryan's project is aMAZEing. It's worth reading the details. Just to whet your appetite: 1710lbs, 350hp. But his work is what's most impressive.
