Its ready!

[Don Pamponi]

Well IF its my car then I\'m well happy considering it hasn\'t got its boost contoller yet (I was going to suggest putting it on when I come back for the rolling road after its run in, but hey it seems RX team are way ahead).

But if thats from someone elses car AGAIN - thin ice Tim, THIN ICE!!!  :mad:

Straight up govnor - I can provide 6 witnesses (if u include the boxer dog) that will testify that the car WAS yours Don :rollin

[maximtaylor]

Can\'t believe you think this is a wind up.

Well, some of the spraying was third rate - he didn\'t rub down the bumpers before he sprayed them so bits of paint are peeling off here & there.   The cowboy ripoff merchant stung me good - bad paint & knackered lump & I paid him WELL for it.  

So yeah, I\'m not allowing my self to get too excited this time.  The car owes me about 10K now.    I really needed the £££ for my wedding in may & a new van.   So I just feel stupid.

Hey mate, dont feel stupid, come round here, your resonably local, I\'ll show you a car that has had close to 80k spent, I\'ll show you cowboy rip off work, Ill show you my 2 1st gens as well, yours does look good.

[Don Pamponi]

Dont get me wrong - I\'ll be dead chuffed when I get it home.  Its just that the timing is all wrong moneywise. (& I\'m still ****ed off at the bloke who sold it to me half done, then I bought an elford kit with a knackered turbo, then the engine blew up on the way home from its 1st outing, & now i\'ve spent too much on the new lump) Bunch of expensive, frustrating 1 year on & still no car a*se!

More expensive than children this car.

[g11ary]

ah, think this is expensive, wait til ya get married. :p

[Don Pamponi]

Already starting to add up the cost of wedding (not to mention new house) thats why Tim didn\'t get his boost contoler.

You can live in a car, you can\'t drive a house... Don\'t pay any attention to Brian, 1st Gens aren\'t in his Mazda Manual:rollin

Sadly,:( ,it is ready! Just tuned for cruising,what we didn\'t do on the rolling road.Diff is in.All that there is left to do is to take it to Santa Pod. I\'ll take it,Please,Pleeease.

[Don Pamponi]

Easy tiger!  Lets run it in first eh?  Things tend to blow up doing the 1/4 mile, which is fine if you have another 20 or so engines in your airplane hanger, but for me this probaby a once in a lifetime expense.

When is santa pod going on then?

[Don Pamponi]

Ooh, can i pick it up on monday then?

[mattmaclennan]

i think it\'s gonna be quite tricky getting Tim to part with your car... He seems to have become attached to it, and he\'s always talking about it. Maybe you could distract him with a big box of chocolates and run away with your car! I\'ve seen Brian Ellis do it on a number of occasions. On a serious note, I think you should call him and find out. It\'s looking, sounding and performing really well! It will be a shame to see it go. Oh well, guess we\'ll have to get Tim\'s drag car back on the road.
