"TOBY KENT" WITH THE ENGINE

NATHAN HAMOND WITH JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING !!

DAVE WALKER @ EMERALD FOR THE ECU AND THE MAPING

IAN BLACKETT AT BLACKETT PHOTOGAPHY FOR THE VID

 

WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE FOR THERE KIND WORD ON HERE

 

I WAS OVER THE MOON WITH CARS PERFORMACE ON FRIDAY

AFTER A SHAKEY START MISSING GEAR CHANGES

WE CHANGE BACK TO A STD GEAR STICK WITH NOT MUCH LUCK

I THINK MY HAND IS FASTER THAN THE BOX WANTS TO CHANGE

MANAGED TO GET LUCKY AND FIND ALL 5 GEAR TO GET ME TO THE END OF THE 1/4

AND RAN A 10.80 .AFTER A CUP OF TEA

WENT BACK OUT AND GOT A 10.69

NOT BAD FOR A GEARBOX OUT OF A HAIR DRESSERS CAR

GOD KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL LAST

 

HAVE JUST BEEN LOOKING AT THE TIMING TICKET AND IT DOES

ZERO TO 102MPH IN 6.8 SECONDS !!!!!!!!!!

 

MUST SAY IT FEELS NIPPY

 

MAY NOT BRING THE CAR OUT TILL CLASSIC FORD DAY

AS THE BOX MAY NOT HOLD OUT

 

IF YOU SEE ME OUT WITH THE CAR COME AND HAVE A CHAT

WE DON,T BITE

 

 

THANKS AGAIN TO EVERY ONE

 

DAVE RETROFORD

Jesus, the last thing we need is for that estate to be road-legal, you can't even drive an old diesel Transit sedately.
