If you go here --> Car Stuff (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andy.dargue1/index.htm)
and look in the General section, there's some footage of the V8 in action.
It was very windy so the audio's not the best.
Andy
nice one andy http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clap.gif
cheers
duncan
Awesome man! those pipes are mean as!
The video's good, I'll need to take it home before I hear the noise tho, I'm sure thats the best bit! http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/cool.gif
Hi Duncan. I.ve never had any prob with the cluch m8 i reckon it mey be down to me using it a lot an mebbi it was a bit tight but as u see theres NO slip what so ever now. can u downlod that footage onto your site m8 coz i cant get on to andys to veiw it (Summat to do with flash not working on my PC http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/confused.gif ) so i aint seen it yet. Ta. Rick.
god knows what was going on with that clutch then http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/confused.gif it slipped like a bitch when i had it maybe it was on kicking in properly or just needed some use i only done about 20 miles in it before you bought it.
i have uploaded the movies on my site http://www.classicrsfords.co.uk/movies.htm
so what time did you manage at york then rick??
cheers
duncan
Cheers M8. My time at york was Laying on mi bloody back wishin i could have gone seeing as i spent the week prepping the car But my mad m8 Sideways Sid Dropped a box of cossi wheels on me an did me in http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif . but from experience i recon low 14s should be about right. an a bit better when i fit the Nitrous system. im trying to get sorted for another shootout day there on the 27 oct. but funds are a bit low at the mo. http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif
If funds are low, you could sell me the V8 then http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif
http://media.turbosport.co.uk/2002/10/2002101615251830559.gif

http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/moon.gif
u got any under bonnet pics ??
thanx http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/clap.gif
Hands off folks...the V8 went sarf once and the next time it moves it will just be moving sideways a little...Its a Northern swapping kind of thing!! http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/wink.gif
Duncan, I also dont know what you mean about the clutch?? I drove the car loads and it never slipped once. It was my daily driver and also took me to AVo day and back with no problems and also dont forget i drove it all the way to your house so it had been used prior to you driving it also?? The steering was heavy heavy yeah, but it was getting better with use and like Rick says we eat lots of pies!!
http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/jester.gif PIEs Are Uz.
Theres one on pageb 2 on here m8. i will doo some more soon as its a lot cleaner now. http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Andy, I actually like it mate!! I know its not bloack but would be worth a try with a few cans of paint to see what it would look like in the flesh?? I am getting booked in for a paint job in the new year so its another option.
