Smokes, I read about this in the Sunday Times back in the autumn. As I looked out of my kitchen window at the low sun, whilst the breeze blew the last of the leaves off my walnut trees, my mind wandered far away. Away to another land far off, a place where there were mountains and scrublands and sunshine. There it was, a green blur streaking through the desert, clouds of dust tailing up and following it as it raced it's way inexorably towards immortality. Suddenly a cold shivver jarred through my body, a sharp twitch of the head and reality imposed itself upon my reverie. The dream was gone. |

Steve, not a subtle way of warning us what we will find on the 1115 speedferries is it? V8? Maybe with a decent candy paint job. Gotta risk upsetting some people... I prefer your Cobra mate!

Still watching! Should be good for about 90-95 bhp!
Do you have a price in mind?

If you get the new engine in the commer then you could tow it behind like the big camper vans do.

Thanks Mark.
The Holbay engine and twin 40 Webbers should liven things up a bit!
Tell me more about swept wing principles, do you think they have a proper application in the light commercial vehicle sector? Andy, With the danger of mixing topics, I've moved this from the Track Day thread to its spiritual home. I recall a certain picture last year of the grand old girl, framed by the Dunlop Bridge, with the driver furiously gesturing towards the No 1 Audi to get out of the way..... Now, if variable sweep wings had been fitted, you would have been past the Audi before John Hindhaugh could have said "wayay - will ye look at that lads...." as you crossed the start line. The application of swept wing principles would assist you to overcome the onset of chassis buffet approaching Mach 1.0, but the greater benefit would derive from the lift given by a variable sweep wing in the lower speed corners. Now, a Tornado weighs about 30 tons and lifts off with wings swept forward at around 200mph - so, by installing the wing section upside down to create downforce, at 200 mph you would have 30 tons of downforce - more than 15 times the weight of the old girl. An awesome prospect that would probably allow you to take the Esses at 200mph well ahead of the No 1 Audi. Now, assuming an entry to Tetre Rouge at at that speed, then sweeping the wing back doewn the Mulsanne would maintain the downforce but decrease drag and, thus, increase speed. Now, will the Holbay Hunter engine get you to 200 mph in the first place, or are we in need of some further assistance? Mark |
