Not a memeber so can't see it on there. But sure it's the same as on www.vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk (no registration needed to read it).
The guy is a legend in his own lunchtime. Even if you'd do some things different you will defo be impressed with the way the guy doesn't let any type of seemingly difficult problem stop him, or indeed even slow him down for a second! Wish I had his attitude (and skill....) This post has been edited by GilesW: Oct 9 2009, 10:24 PM |

Oh man, I shot Marvin in the face! Group: Drivers Posts: 1834 Joined: 19-May 06 From: Llandudno/Swansea Member No.: 8243 |
Interesting stuff. all looks a little too bodged to me though, but then if he's made it work at 155mph before as he says, then I can't really argue with it.
GW, I'm not a member but it lets me in.

I had been following this here and there on retro rides and the post has disappeared - anyone know why?
it was up to page 40 or something OK cancel that - it's moved and is now at http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?...;page=40#986503 This post has been edited by TT205: Feb 12 2010, 10:03 AM |

yeah, been watching this on RR too.
you've got to admire the dedication, even if it can appear a bit bodged together at times! |
