Then you wake up and do it all again.

In response to You Barbz,the last time you attempted to keep up with me saw you spend most of your time scaring the crowd on the grass.

Santa pod,bruntingthorpe and Donington were all my victories but I will allow you to claim spa.
Best out of 10 now?
Ready and waiting for a rematch whenever you are and I will even bring you a cushion so you can see over the steering wheel laugh

Barbz needs to go Specsavers first of all.

It's not through bravery that he's driving like an animal. It's cos he can't see!!

Whats the most anyone ever got out of a 16vt? The italians had some big power versions going a few years back, and some funky 4wd conversions using the grale gear.

Thats right, I think they worked it into the mid 10's eventually, that one was in the high 400's but just lightened and well set up to put it down through the 4WD. Not exactly a road goer it had no lights. It was around bologna. There was one up north in torino where a chap was playing with some massive (claimed) numbers and 4wd, again all Grale evo gear.... Luca Lodi i think he was called...not sure what became of that.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for you guys who have carried the torch in the UK. Some incredible developments over the years.

Marcowind did a 10.6 several years ago in his Rama Racing 4wd 16vt - should imagine he's knocking on the doors of a 9 if he's still active

Check out Angelo Lanno's Coupe. Don't think anyone is coming close. Not exactly road legal. There was a 715bhp or so 16vt running NOS in Italy as well around the year 2000.

Well at Bruntingthorpe I remember leaving you all behind also doing around 180mph, but I only backed out as I was afraid those chinky tyres of mine were going to explode. laugh
