wilky Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Howdy folks ! Texas is mighty purdy and the beer is like a canoe, ie very close to water. There is loads of scoobies and 550bhp is small potatoes to these guys. I really dont know how they do it with the kind of charge temps they will be running in 97 degree heat but ive had a spin in one and the torque is frightning. We are going to Austin at the week end, I think thats where steve comes from, (Groan) Got huckled by a highwaypatrolman doing 90 in the 4x4 we have, but I gave him my Army T Shirt and he let me off.. Best petrol they get is 91ron. So the octane boosters they use are very potent, oh, and Mobile 1 15/50 is £2 a litre. It makes you sick, and petrol is £1 a gallon. On the social front, I have been told that I drink like "A frikkin Rock star man" and asked if Im from scotch land. The babes are in deed that, and the standard of living is great. I want to live here. Need to go, the bar owner across the range is going to let me fire his 44 magnum and we are going to a rodeo tonight, Yall drive easy ye hear? Callum
the squiggle Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Good to hear from you, ya nutter Send us a bulk buy of that Mobil back and a .44 Magnum for posterity Weather here is in the high teens and Bute has broken its moorings, floated down the Clyde and is now docked at Dublin Passage Lurker's friend

zeolite Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Hey Wilky. Try the Shinerbock for a decent beer. Check out what the SCCA guys are doing for some car fun and don't get involved in any street racing as even spectating that is illegal in Texas. Whereabout in TX are you?
wilky Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 << don't get involved in any street racing as even spectating that is illegal in Texas. Whereabout in TX are you? >> OOPS! Got a run in a sub 10 1969 dodge charger, in orange like the dukes of hazzard without the flag, supercharged 7.3 V8 running about 18 psi on full tilt...............thats special, the cars over 2 tonnes. Im at Fort Hood. Callum (Im going out now to be a rockstar again)

wilky Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 Having conducted a few investigations, and managing to get myself invited to the NASIOC owners meet in Houston on 2nd July I can conclude the following. If the subaru owners over here are going racing they all seem to have thier own race fuel which answers the octane question. They also use dry ice on thier TMICs to cool the charge, FMIC get CO2 spraybars, its the only way in the heat the have. Callum
st3ph3n Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Wilky, Nip down the Dodge garage and try and get a test of a new Ram SRT10. All 8.3 litres of its Viper supplied v10 engine power it to 60 quicker than you say F**K ME. My cousin has one and it's quite frankly the scariest looking thing I've ever seen on the road.
