Grinning from ear to ear

Had a great day at Boggs today, Dave is a genius. My car is nt a 7 type you will see it in my photos. It is very high geared partly due to it having 15inch rims and full profile tyres.
I postred up the other day the issues with the zzr1100 carbs and the fuel pump. Despite all this after 3 and a half hours there it now goes like a stabbed rat, 125bhp at the wheels 5250rpm £80.00 all in. The scary bit was he took it upto 125mph , not strapped down and only a wedge under the front wheels Brilliant fun.

Glad you're happy with the results but

not strapped down and only a wedge under the front wheels

If someone had tried that with my car, I'd have been furious....

the tie down hooks were the , complacency is the cause of a lot off accidents I know, but as for the rest of it ... faultless. I was more worried about it going off bang rather than anything else, its a scary old thing to watch, but great fun

Was there on Friday - such an awesome place and great fellas! I didn't get a dyno readout as Dave was a bit worried about it jumping off the rollers
