That's Keith's new car I believe, although I haven't seen it yet. We're coming down from Aberdeen. I think I may be feeling a bit underpowered though!

Hey Moses! Where have you seen Keith's car in action? I only live 5 miles from him and I haven't seen it yet! I heard he had Rod Bell give it a blast who gave it the thumbs up, so it must be good!

I wondered how long it would take for the cat to get out of the bag.
the car is not registered yet so it will have to go to Crail on a trailer,
I have only driven the car about 5 miles so far and that was not in anger.
Rod Bell my tuner was the first to drive the car flat out at 1.3 bar boost on optimax,all I am going to say is it felt awesome from the passenger seat going up through the 6 speed dogbox without using the clutch.
this is what I will run the car at for a start on Sunday, I may turn the boost up a bit after I have done a some runs.
once I see the best way to get it off the line,plus I will have to get up to this dogbox

the car is built to run at 2 bar boost at 9500 revs on race fuel
cant wait to find out what that feels like.

I am told that this beast is going to Crail on Sunday (See link below). I imagine it will be the fastest motor there by a long way. Fingers crossed that its dry so we see it in action. (Hes trying to put in a qualifying time for "10 of the best"). Seeing this in action will amke it worth paying the over priced gateway admission alone

Real power. Good luck Guys.

we will have to see how it goes.
I have a 25L drum of race fuel that cost me £90
for a start the car will run optimax at about 1.3 bar boost
