    Trying out the new slow cooker on GF Platypus this evening (beef and barley stew) then taking her to Stratford tomoz for lunch and to see Pericles.

    Drinking until brain damaged on Sunday (as usual) but not staying out too late as I have to be up early and sober Monday morning (boooo!).

              What is it, as a matter of interest?

              I knew a chap who has a 500 ci Morris Minor whose chassis would twist off the line. Surprised he's still alive.

                Big Plan B trial moment for me on Sat: 5 course Indian meal for four covers. Not using my kitchen either. Scary amount of prep to do...

                Barrelling up my homebrew on Sun.
                If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                  The chassis and panels are a 94 Mazda MX5 but the engine, box and running gear are twin turbo Toyota Supra. The aim is around 950Kgs and 600hp for starters and 9 second quarters.

                  Whether it will is another question, but I'm having fun trying The aim is to beat a Bugatti Veyron up the strip which runs around 10.1 / 10.2 up the strip...

                      That's the 3 litre i6 isn't it? 330 odd bhp out of the box?

                      They can get to 550 with no much work at all! Will you go further with the power?

                      Sounds a lot of fun!

                      I built a 450bhp S-Max 4 years ago.
