Luxluc Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks. Yeah I get a lot of comments about the number plate. Because It's a fairly stock looking car people just seem to assume it has stock power... don't judge a book by it's cover lol. The twins are pretty much maxed out at the power it's running now but that's fine by me as I was aiming for 700bhp when building the car. These cars just aren't enjoyable to drive at much more than 750bhp on the road in my opinion, you start loosing general drivability and traction, you end up finding the 750bhp set up is faster than 1000+bhp due to traction on our roads. +1 Your car is mental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 As some of you may already know I have a Banzai magazine photo shoot tomorrow with Rob Mitchell, hosted at SRD. I've been mega busy lately and only got the car out the garage at the weekend since Dragonball... It was a bloody mess! lol. So It's been a mad rush the last couple of days getting the car back to my OCD clean standards ready for tomorrow, all I can say is polished wheels are a PITA!! Knowing my luck it will rain tomorrow and it will all of been a waist of time. Bet it wont look like this by the time I get to SRD tomorrow!!

steve.m Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks guys. The photo shoot went well although these things are a little long winded, glad I've done it now though. Huge thanks to Rob Mitchell for organising the shoot with Banzai, the cars looked great together. I'm glad I spent the time cleaning mine now as you could eat your dinner off Robs engine bay!! Massive thanks to Lee Perryman for organising the location as we spent while trying to find somewhere suitable. The feature will be in next months magazine so you'll have to wait until then to see some pics unfortunately but you wont be disappointed as the ones I took on my phone are great so I can only imagine what the photographer got.

You can't be that bothered about having the car in the rain in this country otherwise it would never come out the garage! The only issue with mine in the rain is the wheels, they don't like it. Car looked stunning today Steve. Really is one of the best. Thanks Rob, they both looked great together. Have you recovered yet, you looked like you were gonna pass out half way through lol.
