Thanks for the tip. Sounds like a good idea. To be clear, my hand held video was literally that. Atop a small podium like a tennis umpire's seat. The wind was blowing and I was pretty unsure of the zoom button. Really just a rough reference but also to highlight the exhaust note. But I'll take your suggestion on board!

You should! You'd be a perfect match to my cousins Exige

Nice. Certainly looks the part! I'll have to step up my game!

Found this video from the other day. Warming up the motor. Get a quick look at the car closer up.

Damn Patrick.. This just makes me want to quit my job and quickly start building my engine! Have to wait all day to go home and start on the build!

I'm going to put some new pics online, the engine is finally home!

Good seeing you on the board again, long time no see!
The car is good and the 3.1l 16v turbo dry sumped engine is working like a champ

We have only been running 1.3 bar for the moment. The car is pretty quick as is. There's a lot of room for improvement too. I always like that feeling as we know there is more potential to eek out in the future.

Great to see these cars still getting built in all corners of the world. How good would it be to bring them all together one day.

Here's another recent video of Richard in Holland. That car looks pretty nicely hooked up....well except for that little glitch that just cost him the win!
