This guy was at Rotorstock, shame he is selling it or he might have been there this year.

it was at one of the jap shows a fews years back as well .... funny thing is no one dare line up next to it :Rollin  

IIRC it was pretty quick for what it was and the burnouts were awesome !

[dubber91]

ah its ok, ill be there to replace it....hopefully

[Ultraman_Cosmo]

the things you miss when you don\'t keep your eye out I\'d have had that!

[sadgoth]

I read about that in Retro last year, really impressive bit of kit and very well put together. Shame the guy\'s sold it really.

Is there any way we could get in touch with the new owner, and tell him about R3, or perhaps he already knows and may turn up!

Apparently the chap who won it on ebay has sent the guy a deposit but he sold it to someone else before ... not sure whats going on but I can probably find out who the new owner is.

Someone did point out that it did look a little dodgy as all the photos of it were taken from the Retro cars mag ! Was it really for sale ?!

[Ultraman_Cosmo]

if you can find out mike i\'d be interested to know. not got the cash right now having just bought the cosmo but something like a skoda esteele with that sort of power really appeals to my sense of humour!

[dubber91]

is 206bhp standard flywheel power from a 13b 6 port?

[MikeLMR]

I think thats a bit OTT isn\'t it ? the low side of 150 is about right I think ?

[dubber91]

well yeah.......especially considering that engine is sat at the back of my garage as we speak....

i contacted the seller, who is going to ask the guy who bought it if he will be running it at R3.

Theres like 3 people who are supposed to have bought it....
seems strange.....
I know the old owner (the guy selling) as ive had \'dealings\' with him in the past, and no doubt will have further \'dealings\' in the presence of others in the future.....

If the engine has had work to produce the 206BHp claimed, then its sat in the back of my garage, and he would have had to have had the same work done to the \'new\' engine in the skoda....
