I have been showing photos of your build at SEMA and people have been absolutely awe struck! Wow, thanks Kevin. I am very pleased with the way the car is developing, but will be happier when it is run-in, mapped and power runs completed on the rolling road ;D |

Jon, Must say it looks great, well done on all your hard work and first class finish, Good to see you felt my fuel tank design was up to standard to be fitted to a first class build, well done, 3 week holiday  was this scheduled into the build ;D Thanks Scott. 14 months ago when I popped over to yours for a chat and see your blue/chrome Rocket was when I was sold to the car choice. The fuel tank design and cover fit perfectly - why re-design something that looks good and works !! Used the original mould to make the carbon fibre cover also ! The cars 3 week holiday was not really in the build plan, and we are also off to Disney at X-mas so may be pushing the build plan a bit tight, but thats the plan - fingers crossed  |

Awsome, its keeps getting better & better. Its going to be to nice to drive if you keep it up. Thanks Andy. I hope it will be a nice drive and the power delivery is not too violent ;D The charge cooler was a bit of an added cost but to keep the power consistent I think it was a must for this reason |

Be interesting to get some proper timed runs next year of 0-60 and 1/4 mile of some different output Rockets and Sonics.
Maybe an airfield day with some timing equipment could be arranged ?

I live very close to Santa Pod which would be ideal on one of their 'Run what you Brung' days to see what the cars can do. It's well located, good facilities and some of the vehicles their are awesome. Would be good to set up a gathering there if theirs enough interest ? another meet for 2010 me thinks !! |
