Title: Like everyone else here
Post by: normski on August 16, 2005, 12:19:32 PM
Hows it moving on there ?

My tripple is on it\'s way, sooon ish honest! Pip say it has to be right as it\'s his rep on the line here, and it\'s a promo car for his company. But he recons it\'s going to something else when it done! about £20K worth of work going on this version.... :god . So it looks like I will totally miss this season, but in with a big roar next one.

These kind of things ALWAYS take 100 times as long and cost 5 times what you think they will :D

Keep us updated and look forward to seeing her out next year. Sure it will be well worth it :burnout

Norm,
is your FD tripple a project that you started from scratch or one you bought already part done?,   do you know what happened to the pink panther, it blew up at RS 1, last i heard Pip was going to rebuild it.

:3gears-lh


Na, my thing is from scratch ish! I ussed to have a nice 13B till I toasted it. Muppet!!!! :mad:  still thats life. Pip is doing the whole thing. bit by bit. I have not seem my poor car now for Near 5 months. Ithink, hope, we are are getting near the end now. about 3 or 4 weeks away, although I thought that before, and was wrong!  :(    He wants do a topline job on the whole thing, cos his rep is on the line ( fair doos) but I have been told it will be well out there when it does appar. Latest hopes are 550 to 600 BHP. Not going to race it, cos you break it, this thing is going to be a show machine now, although it will do the bit if pushed, I do promise you.   This is a 20K job can\'t afford to break it.

I thought the pink panther was down with Ross... Top speed runs only then Norm\'?

Talking of top speed runs, what is the redline on your 4rotor Carl? Are we likely to see the beast run out of gears?

Hi Matt,

 If Ross does have it, does it mean we will be seeing it again shortly?
