Remember Chandler's girlfriend from FRIENDS? '...OH...MY...GAAADDD...'

Love it, and an absolute tribute to British approach to engineering.

I truly wish you a long and successful career. That is a walking CV.

Cheers mate.
As said, it's hardly reinventing the wheel, just a new rad shroud. But I think the design is mega clean and simple. Sometimes these are the best things.
I've a few more ideas for the car this winter that should continue to add to the OEM/GT3 style package.

However, time on the car has massively slowed due to our new pile of bricks taking much of my attention and time. But she will continue to grow with me.

Long time no speak Frayz, hope you're well. Car still looks amazing and the latest additions are very very smart!

You really do have an art mate when it comes to engineering.

Gloves and shorts is the only way
F40 sounded pretty good from where we were.

Hassle was actually a bit more than hassle. We backed off a number of times as we were getting too close. Pete was as surprised as I was to be honest. He said the LP had no more to give and we were still right up his gearbox.
Hopefully the full video will show some better footage.

Yeah she's come a way eh Chris. Those pics were Germany WRC 2006 I think. Running approx 320bhp at the time.

The guy who owns the Muirci is a friend, that car has no silencers and sounds like nothing else. He's thinking of upgrading to an Adventador soon.
So I'll just have to add meth and turn her to Cal 4

The above video was on Vpower 1.9bar 525bhp/480lbsft
