Is that a rear-mid engined FWD car? An unusual layout.

Spoke to the lad who built it a couple of months ago, he was at Santa pod when we went cant remember his times but its bloody quick looks like the shell twists of the line but could be just the suspension loading up.

4wd audi 5 pot running gear with a bloody great turbo really nicely put together car! what made me laugh was the road tax something like £60 so its probably still registered as a 1.3 golf

looks very nicely made. I would love to have a go and get a result liek that.

But only a 12.7 1/4 mile? did i read that right? maybe its all wheelspin but i remember back in my 5 turbo days that many were getting in the low 13's and then the 12's and now getting close to the 10 second barrier.





Sorry about my spelling, im an engineer and only work in numbers.

Cant remember the times he was running but he ran quicker than me and I managed low 12's so he would be in the 11's quick for a car that weighs over a ton and still in its early days of development.

Imagine how gutted you'd be if someone overtook you at a track though. You'd have to shoot yourself.
