then disaster struck , kin manifold to up-pipe gasket blew AGAIN , 5 times now , grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr , i carried on and the other 13 runs were all low-mid 13s,all terminal speeds were 100+

heres some pics of the competition , sorry theres no action shots as i was 'on turnaround' mostly












went agaisnt this 1 twice , ran under 10 seconds both times. i lost,lol.








this little bugger was stripped out and running NOS , went against him 4 times and he got halfway before me everytime but i reeled him in to take the victory,JUST, on all occasions.

i was just about to ask the same thing about the old vauxhall.......i think its been around for a while ,if im right it was also on the tv once to find the uk's fastest road car..went like buggery if i recall right,(but not as quick as the double engined vr6 golf that won)...the rat look suits it though and brings back memories of my very first car...droop snoot replica magnum

not 100% on this but seem to recall it might have a big block v8 installed.....but could be well off the mark as it was a while since i watched the programme

My very first car was a Magnum with a very wheezy 1600 in it and extensive 'rust' weightsaving, always dreamed of putting a Rover V8 in it.

Unless he's changed the motor, this was running a nitrous'd 16v Vauxhall Engine.


Used to be in "Street Machine" mag all the time at the RWYB.

its an upside down ford badge lol
i tried to get a close up but camera aint very good

i thought it may have been ron kiddel (rk tuning) firenza as i know he used to run in the 70s / 80s and he did a low 10s in it
