Fair enough then.

I thought you were having a go at Mr. Smith, which some people have on this thread cos they couldn't contain their jealousy. TBH I don't put much faith in dyno readouts but only cos I have autos so I've seen massive losses added to the wheel horse power figures, which usually add up to the figure that the customer had in mind before the rollers start spinning. But I like following Smithy's stuff cos it's RWD big power...136 hp monster

Behave yourself..Just because people criticise builds is not down to being jealous, if it was we would at the very least have the same model would we not?

Agreed, just depends how those same people put it down in print. Maybe it's only me that's jealous then.

I saw the photos.... coming along nicely

There's a 740 for sale 'near' me.....tempted but just too many cars on the go at the moment

http://kolesa.kz/a/show/11525836

I'm trying to find out if it is a twin-cam, but the bird selling it doesn't have a scooby (a clue) or at least appears that way
