Ha ha! Very subtle, smartypants*!  :wink:  :lol:

Leaf sprung v6? You might not win outright, but you'd probably be first in class!

*'Left!'
'Whose left?'
'Yours!'

Wolfie:
Oh yes, there's more, that I forgot.

Need to get the racer to events, so that'll be weekend hire of trailer, at least until I can get one of my own.

I suppose fuel for the events would also need considering. 3.9 V8 will give low single figures, lets assume 5mpg, each run is 5 miles, so a gallon a run. Somewhere in the region of 10 runs per day, so about 20 gallons a weekend...... er I think I'll stop thinking about this.

just off to see if ebay will allow an ad for a kidney.

Regards

Wolfie

On second thoughts, maybe Katy is a better plan

ok ill throw my 10p in


the 90 i was comping would use £60 of fuel for 1 comp (10 laps 2 miles upwards,longest being 5/6 miles)

entry was £20 per event,

helmet was £60 (make sure u get the correct spec,i know some1 who didnt & failed scrutineering at his first event & couldnt play)

in 2 years comping (8th overall in championship & 2nd novice) i broke 2 half chafts & wreked 1 wheel & tyre,last year i bent the chassis & ripped of the front shocks,that was the final event for the racer,

at each event i would carry 1 diff,2 sgort,2 long front shafts,2 cv joints,enough oil & gaskets to do the front twice,2 spare wheels,
fuel the racer on the way to the event & have 2 jerry cans as standby,
average MPG was between 1 & 8mpg

Start worrying when the codrivers voice and arm actions dont't correspond  :oops:  :oops:  :?

BTDT a couple of times (the arms are normally correct)

Yeah, yeah, laugh it up!

Shouldn't you be out chasing caribou or somethin'?  :wink:

Lets see if it's quite as amusing when I've directed us into a tree!*  :lol:

Tyres ordered, BTW.
