Well I booked this morning and I will be there on Friday!!

Makes loads of sense now.!! There I was just assuming they were sequentials. Thanks for that, back to the drawing board,, bummer,,!!

Terry, I was interested to read what you say about twins/singles etc. I am surprised you say the singles spin up faster approx 800/1000 rpm sooner. I always thought if you want to build a fast "road car" then twins are the answer. If you want big BHP and top speed then go single and wait for it to all crank up!! I thought twins would give you a better torque curve. Hence smoother, and generally more on tap all round at any speed range unless you were really moving at which point the singles would be in their sweet spot. Alan

Well I think it is a great spread on the car, the club and everybody in it. I don't remember seeing so many pages devoted to the Supra in a mag ever. It was very good business for Terry & Matt etc. How much would that have cost Vortex to put an add in the magazine like that!!?? I also liked the piece on the DVD sold with it about Top Secret etc..in Japan. and a few other bits... Its just a shame there was not much on Supras in the DVD. Leon's car looked good at Santa Pod though!! Really smoking those wheels leon!! Alan

So you have been receiving the Vortex treatment have you??? I bet you got home in record time!! Alan At least you can rest knowing whatever Matt does to your car will be the business..

Going clockwise, Was it you yesterday. Your car was looking great!!!

I go to this event every year for the last 3 years it is always fantastic!! Better than going to a GP meet. You get up close to current/past F1 drivers and their cars. I could go on but I wont... I will always be there.

Thanks for that, I have just taken a copy i am sure they will be very useful Alan

I know christians car did a 4.4 to 60 8.9 to 100 and 12.4 I was impressed.!! But it will be good to see all the times together to check. I was a great day. One of the best for me.

I'll be there but not to race.. Sounds like a great day!! Matt you still comimg??

Best of the bunch in my view once you can look at it with a clear head and get over the early days of not being familiar with it all. Most Pro drivers seem to go for F1 style boxes, I think one day you probably won't be able to buy any manuals at all. All makes are pushing tip tron/paddle shift boxes at you even if the journalists moan about it.

I think Matt should get the vote. Not only does he have a very nice car but he is a first class Ambassador for the club. Leon's car is good I agree but it is well known and I am not sure if it is in full working order. Often it is not. Let Matt have a go I say!!! All votes for Matts Yellow Motor here please////:p :p Matt post some pics mate!! you know she looks good.

Nick, Those look ace mate I'll have to come and see them now i'm back. Did you get CW to do the work. Or did you do it yourself. Alan

Yer !!! I like the cars Matt, but you have got to tell your mate to get TVR to learn how to glue them together properly. As long as TVR's are built the way they are. They will never sell in bigger numbers. Its a shame , because if they got it right Astons would go belly up overnight. Ford is almost broke anyhow!!!?? :D

So I guess the bottom line is if you move from 17" wheels to 18" they are pretty much going to weigh more...??? So its looks -v- pace..!!! ?
