SteveR Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 What I want to know is, has Chris got these high res pictures - and no time to post them - because he's bought the engine in question (or is contemplating the purchase)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think most of them are maybe from the gurneyflap site, I have bunged some on my (slow) ftp server, see: ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv/BMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 When are you building a circuit in the back garden Chris? I am sure you could fit a full on forest stage in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Having been taking the tractor through the woods to the back field recently, to take the cows their bales in this terrible wet weather, it looks like there's a forest stage there already. Thinking of getting two 20 foot containers for the tractor and implements and keeping them at the back of the woods, it's making a right *loody mess. On the other hand 2 x 20 foot containers aren't very pretty. I have an idea to cover them in mesh and grow something over them to hide them. A building would be choice, but too expensive to justify. I am trying to keep the wife sweet, my pal Terry's idea to bring an off road bike over and have a blat round the woods and fields went down like a lead balloon... She got arsey enough when we got her Jeep stuck for a full day last year, trying to see just how good off road they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 If anyone fancies a freshly rebuilt one I have found a source The car I was looking at this last weekend (Arrows A8, ex Berger) was a total shed, described as being as it last finished a race, in reality it was a show car, made of a lot of scrap bits, and even then, one more suited to go on display at the RNIB, to be frank. It wasn't cheap, either Still fancy finding a turbo era car to restore, as part of my pension plan! As an aside, there's a nutter putting a proper Hart 415T in a Caterham, I would expect the guy will be on first name terms with either his tyre supplier or his Maker soon....

SteveR Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Holy crap that's hot! Excellent picture. I assume the photographer melted shortly afterwards and that photo was produced in his memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
