HELL'S BELLS!

If you put the passenger seat back in you can take me for a spin (probably literally )

Have you got it weighing less than Dazza's Atom yet?

The figure that blows me away is the torque headline... F£$%£%^ me thats impressive... its the torque output that makes a car really fly although 475 is up there in terms of outright bhp...
Nice one mate... it should be pretty much a rocket sip on the road... You'll have to pottle around waky and mince the every increasing amount of Farrari's that seem to be everywhere in waky, especially blasting up ad down the dual carriagway storking slowing stuff and generally driven by posers...
I det it easisly as quick as the Atom with that output defo...

top stuff...

Hi mate, and packet is not the word. the engine has had everything done to it, the power level is down due to the turbo running out of puff... .

They are fun in the dry, but become tiresome in the wet with that much grunt.

I'll bring the bathroom scales on Thurs - they should probably suffice with all the recent weight reductions done to the car!

How committed to the cause are you Paul will you be racing in a pair of hot pants at Elvington next year?
