There's that Brett guy. Picking up converts and believers as he goes quietly along.

Impressive.

is this a joke? Did your engine cost $100,000? Are you planning to drive it more than a 1/8 of a mile?

Hi

Nope, not a joke

Its my daily driver and its got a Porsche 928 engine in it.. that should say enough

The actual 200 mph plus run is around 2 miles...then I will drive it home around 300 miles and next day , drive to work as usual

I might be a nutter but at least I am a 928 nutter lolllllllllll......

All the best Brett

Hi

If that how fast is aimed at me....

Wellllllll....in theory...with a long enough road (which there isn't in the UK)...I
"THINK" I could possibly get to 235 - 240, but I would need 4 x 14 lb bottles in the back...

All the best Brett

Hammond didn't F----up. It was a faulty tire. A blowout at 200+mph can ruin your day in a hurry. All the more reason to make sure everything is perfect before attempting this run. If this is your daily driver, make sure your tires are OK Brett. Better yet have a seperate new set just for this run.

We want you to live to tell us the tale.
