.... more to do with passing Steve Wilkes, 2-up on the M40 on the way to Gaydon

Doesn't seem that long ago really, but its what, 4 years?

What about some of the non-triumph engined cars out there? ALG1K? Eightiesflamer's XE powered Sprint if it's finished? NA cosworth, Zetec from S Wales. Does the car have to be road legal?

Time to pull my finger out with Project Orange!

I was with the twin-airbag full-on mentalist then and I'm two models on from that particular variant now so an easy 4 years I think.

What's this all about?! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now then, I will not be able to make this event in May.... Which is why I suggested February as, if not being Commissioned, I will most definately be somewhere very hot and unpleasant! :)

Mrs W most definately will not race the car judging by the face just pulled :lol:

Some how some women just don't understand! :lol:

That said, Roy has said he is interested in building his 1300 to the same spec, and being the same colour, can more than carry the torch for me! :lol:

What's this all about?!
The first time I 'met' the elusive Steve Wilkes I saw him in the distance dawdling along a motorway with "mate", (my pet-name for his wife) on the way to a show. Naturally, giving EDY some major beans, I passed him at about [several miles per hour] or thereabouts, so they could hear the subtleties of my exhaust, before being 'respectfully requested' to 'please slow down just a tiny bit' by the dual airbag-equipped co-pilot. Speeds approaching those originally quoted in Sprint spec literature were achieved by Steve as he caught-up.

'Sprint?' he asked on arrival at the show. 1500 says I, popping the bonnet so he could have a look. I was proper pleased with myself that day.

I'll run yours for you Al, no probs.

So that will be a modified Sprint then. :lol:

Any one with an original, un modded one?

Will be interesting to compare your's to a standard one though Adam.

Don't forget Adam's car was recently rolling road tested and was shown to give factory bhp

Would that equate to £several hundred for no improvement other than the sound?

Air filters - £40

Rimmers exhaust - Off yellow dolly so free really
Ignition - off engine I got in a swap with Richard4040 for some alloys

based on the figures given by adams car recently i think even tho it's mildly mod'd, we can take it that its performing like a not too long out the box standard, if other folk agree

:wink:
