Yep, not bad for a shopping trolley!

That was with the original knackered carby and about 6 weeks after the rebuild so i was being a little careful too.
Still think the funniest photo's of the day was the car sitting on the line with the louvre on the back, not often you'll see that at the drags!

Makka why haven't you replied to my PM? lol how bad was your diff ratio? I guess the tall gears in the auto wouldn't have helped that either...

its coming, the mini is taking up too much time!

yeah, 3.08's with tall tyres, 97mph in second wasnt too bad though! the 3.7's should make 3rd gear useful now!

I'll be a tentative inclusion to the list. I'll have only been back in the country a month and after the rear end work the car will need a few things done to it to get it back on the road.

Well, i pulled my car apart yesterday..... So i have started the rebuild! By the look of it, it may not be as hard as i first thought! Plan is to paint the car in a month! Which means i might make the drag day!

Maybe a trailer is looking like the most feasible option for me... everyone seems to think I've got no hope and I reckon there's a chance if I work kinda hard and the people who said they will help out do come through and I'm not delayed... I guess I'll just see how I go
