i love the pocupine imagery, Rick, mostly because it is true.

Trevor
Norwich it is indeed.

i wonder if the Kirkhams would consider a line of Legate Specials, that is, a smallblock special like the AC289 Sports, but in a lightweight specification, as we all (4 of us?) know and love. Special hugable shaped butt. They are the only people that could pull this off right.

You know, Trev, that the Lightweights are pulling a premium today on the Brit market. They are more drivable and svelte to the hand. They are more intelligent to the knowing driver and the true sportsman that uses a 410 Purdy rather than a 10 ga. Winchester. And they are bloody quick, aye?

We all know the smallblocks are anything but small today and a really good one exceeds the torque limits on all the Tremmecs except the latest 600.

Everything alloy. Stainless chassis? Just powder coated steel? CV joints. Alloy Kee toploaders. Alloy Kirkman axle. 302/351 options, punched out to 347 for 7000 rpm redline, 392/427 for 6500. Race/sports packages. Glass body option? Skip the BB problems, weight, springs, CG and cash drain.

Sounds very good to me and i will bet the market would move to meet it. i would order one. Hello, David? Warm up the digital tracer in Polska, please.

(Jeepers, i just remembered David asked for some pictures of this mini-power BMW brake system mod on AKL.)

But, slightly modifying a MKIV still is a wonderful budget entry to a real Cobra for some fellows, isn't it?

Say goodnight, Gracie.

Goodnight!
