I'll video a drive for ya when it's tuned up and all nice and post it on one
of the online hard drives. I've got all the video grabber stuff at work so
it'll be easy. I've got various takes in 8mm format throughout the
conversion so I can do a few frame grabs and some other goodies, sounds etc.
Plenty of footage of me in there going "Aaaaaaahhhhhh Fark!. Start you
bastard!!!!"
You don't get the g-forces on video tho unfortunately.. That's the best bit!
:)
I'd love to see what would happen if you threw one of these babys into a
smaller car, something like a 1200 coupe. Rip out all the seats. lighten it
up a bit. 9" diff, wheelie bars on the back. Down the M4 on 2 wheels!!! :)
