Don't start me off -
Oh here we go a hot wind is blowing from the continent again

you didn't 'build' yours ! Define build ?
And JT did?...no he got his cheque book out just like you did

I can safely say that I have had a hand in every part of the build on my car not just my engine
But just in case this gets somehow lost in translation across the channel..lets go with the dictionary on this one

Build
  1. To form by combining materials or parts; construct.
  2. To order, finance, or supervise the construction of:
Do you think that because I had the head work oursourced (built by DJ road and race:bow:) that somehow means that I had no involvement building the entire engine up, because if you do then you are sadly deluded (again), an engine is far more than just a sum of it's parts, and I put every part of it together....several times over
Who designed and engineered the compression ratio, calculated and built in the squish measurements, degreed the cam, installed the rings, set the crank lash, designed the entire fuel system and built it.

So if I didnt build it who the fook did, the L6 pixies

I make that.... nil point for Sean


And his cars are quick - but define quick
So moving on to the next point, once again lets ask the dictionary for some help

Quick
Moving or functioning rapidly and energetically; speedy.

Yep its certainly quick, in fact according to club records, the quickest in its class, and until its beaten its officially the quickest in the UK
remind me where was JT's car on the list...oh yeah 14.1 seconds...way off the pace considering, but at least thats on the list eh Sean.

So

I make that nil point AGAIN

Not doing so well are we.

Next time you get on your high horse, check to see the saddle is on and your the right way round.

Sean the car was blacked out because if you go back to Rob Hughes #45 you will see that he said hold back untill after the new mag when all will be revealed, and I always respect peoples wishes, so take note Sean in future.
And yes it is Brenda Baker wife of Brian and the people at the back are John Rich & family who was part owner at Fourways with Geoff.

Well said Mr Ex - I too have held back on posting lots of pictures I took of this car a few months ago out of respect for the efforts of the magazine boys (Steve and Rob). Once everyone has seen the mag I will post them.

I have asked permission and have been told it is OK to post them but to please ask people to stay off the topic of cost. This is seen as an intrusion into the owner'spersonal business.

Chaps - I'm not getting confirmations of replies to threads upon which I have participated and (at the moment) don't have the time to read through every post so I have missed some and do gloss over (apologies). I did read that Rob had asked ZHead not to publish some photos but didn't see that that applied to every photo of everyone. It was after all a simple question, I wondered if there was something special (a never-seen modif.) that 4ways had insisted be 'secret'. I am naturally curious - nothing more :) !

Brenda - fab. person ! On my list of people I miss over here !

ZHead - it was the owner of the THREE '4ways' Zs who first quoted the prices of said cars so I consider that no longer 'personal business' but shall keep my mouth shut as requested ;) !

Steve, oh great Trekkie of the Z world - I'm surprised you still bite !

Congrats on your latest time :bow: keep on opening that cheque-book - you're bound to go even faster ;)

Oh, and I look forward to the days when we share a strip AND a circuit together:devil:

I count on you but since I'm trying to be more low-key (someone has said I have a bad reputation and you know how us girls treasure our 'reputations' ?), I'm trying to reduce the ping-pong posts ! You took your time to reply though - been busy too ?

Maybe you'll be allowed out with the seniors though ?
