About time I posted this, apologies for the crappy phone cam!

This thing sounded amazing, took ages to get all eight cylenders going - says it's about 9.5 litres!

I think we should put this up against winfreds truck and see what moves the quickest :p

Haha I was wondering when you were gonna show up.

You're gonna have to ship your truck here for a race though :) I dont think most shipping companies would take kindly to over 19 tonnes going to the states...

Yeah lol, I'd love to try :D finally be able to park on all those mucking fuppets that cant park a car in a damn car parking space!

At least you wouldnt have to worry about them denting your doors in the parking lot.

The answers to the usual questions: Where do you park it? Anywhere it wants, clamp it. How fast mister: 52MPH, anywhere. How much to the gallon?:6-ish, about the same as a R-R.How much power mister? 255,920ft/lbs.0-60:no. but same backwards.Ground the head last year on a glass plate and a can of grinding paste to get the compression to an awesome 7.1:1! There are a few others in the toy shed but I still drive an E34, enough said.

I went thru South London the other night, that would have been just the ticket.

How much for a tag reading "clamp this"?

Front four steer by `50`s hydraulics, no revs, no steer,add pre-select box and turning circle terrible, planning important,but signs and ditches tend to lose, can witness that tarmac used for pavements is a touch soft, point load of 4 ton a tyre tends to make grooves, ask locals. got it because used to command one in Belfast-nostalgia-but technology has definately moved on, an AK will go straight through, glad I did`nt know that at the time!
