You know - I'm not quite sure what the phrase: "Cor BLIMEY!" actually means to those brought up speaking correct English. So I don't dare say that...

I suspect the best way to put the impression I have of it in "AMERICANESE" is:

"HOLY SMOKES!"



(and that is the least vulgar way)


You've got a message you are sending, Lad!

Not in a million blue moons would I have thought to do halve the things I have done to this truck by myself. I now have a motor completely stripped down awaiting time to get the machine shop. I have a heap of parts sitting on the bench to achieve my 500Hp goal. Its this web site and the people who use it that has given me the opportunity to build a kick *** F' ie at a third of the cost. And at the end I can stand back and look at it and say I did that
