Good point. And rich people from LA like their handbag dogs.

After 4 weeks I finally got the big red tank back from the shop. New valves, lifters, sparkplugs, leads, gaskets, springs, cams, injectors, ported and polished heads. Has enough torque across the entire rev range to drag out a tree stump
I am in so much trouble if someone finds out that it wasn't actually broken in the first place

haha. Petrolhead. On engines, mine is at it's best for 10 years now, down to a weight I've not seen since 2001. Still a way to go but I'm in the zone right now.

If you mean lighting it up through 1st, 2nd and 3rd (ran out of road for 4th) inappropriately in public, then yes.
Otherwise it will have to wait for the weekend where I can find somewhere comparatively cop-free as I've not got a lot of points left on the licence. The next 'challenge' is getting away with two larger turbos, intercoolers, new radiator, fuel pump and an engine management system. Unfortunately that comes into the 'irresponsible' amount of money bracket that will be noticed and I've already played the "you broke my last 400hp car" card for something else.
(I worry Ian considers his arse an engine)

haha. My legs are my engine. If I want to go anywhere, I use them generally.
Btw why is it whenever Guns N Roses - Welcome to the jungle comes onto winamp, I think of Jake. DAMN YOU JAKE.

You got that upside down. Americans will nearly always go with the one that's cheaper. If they didn't, you wouldn't see people sueing doctors for fucking up their 200 bucks Lasik treatment.

To my knowledge atheists are yet to produce something that awesome.
