I know a chap who's restoring a panel van version of that

[lozzzzzz]

It was a cracking truck and a nice owner, it was producing over 500hp and doing 11 something second quarter miles.

Finally fitted the PAS gear now and, hmmmmm.....    PAS is so nice.  Glad I've got it now, it should make the autotest a lot easier tomorrow if I have a go. 

Well here it is ready for its 3rd show: 


More to come

Many times   What an awesome car! Wonder where it is now. 

Thanks for your comments folks, it got lots of attention at the show yesterday.  Video on its way

[lozzzzzz]

I took the car to the Modified Nationals yesterday with my friend Peter of Capri fame.  My car stood out like a saw thumb, especially as it didn't have any speakers in it at all!    But it was a good day, the Scim actually got lots of attention, being so different from the rest of the cars there.  Pete and I did the auto test right before I left, where both cars got lots of attention.  It was just a car park with some cones, but I really enjoyed it.  It was the first time I've driven the car against a clock and squealed the tires, was lots of fun, needless to say I didn't do very well

I think the fastest time on the day was 21 something and my best time was 23.10.  But I had lots of fun. 

As I was saying goodbye to everyone an onlooker approached and very kindly offered to send me a video he took, I'm very grateful, here it is.

On another note, the PAS really has transformed the car, Its a different beasty all together, apart from the noise it is a lot easier to drive on long journeys now and there is still plenty of feedback.  I thoroughly enjoyed the car yesterday and can't wait to drive it again. 

More to come

Cheers EMD Santa Pod tomorrow, I'll let you know how I get on, hopefully put a video up

[lozzzzzz]

Hi folks, I had an awesome day today   I took the Scimitar to Santa Pod to try my hand at drag racing.  I certainly haven't put the car together with this kind of thing in mind, but thought it would be a great way to enjoy the car till the bank recovers and I can get it finished for a track day.  But I had a lot of fun today, it was fantastic and I think I might go again some time. 

I managed the following times:

13.9274
13.8746
13.8738
13.9403
13.8120
13.8066

I'm so proud of the car, two hours there, lots of burn outs and drag runs and 2.5 hours back (got lost).  The car took a full day of abuse in its stride, performed consistantly, was fast and fun. 

I was hoping to Challenge my buddy, but his 400hp Capri was just out of reach, athough only by 0.5s and I totally had him in the first 1/8th mile so I was happy with that having only a measly 260hp.  A cracking day had by all!!!!

More to come

Pretty consistent times mate, improving with attempts.  Glad you enjoyed the Pod - used to live about 2 miles from it, and we used to ride the horses up there for a bit of exercise (not on race days though)

Now live about 7 miles away.
