On my calender

Some days life just seems to be testing us to the limit. Others days life just seems to be just like the day before. Then one day we have a treat that we never forget. To-day has been such a day for me. Skullfudge kindly offered to come over to my home and show Granby and me his car. I must say after having my head under the bonnet for a good hour looking at the Fabulous handy work of Olly & Matt Clark I can't truly think of enough words to describe what has been achieved. You will just have to look for your selves. So "thanks Clive for bringing the car over and see you soon". No not likely Clive starts her up and "Jump in Hugh I'll take you for a spin". Now I live in very tight country lanes. So naturally Clive went very cautiously until we got onto some wider roads. This gave us time to discuss the car and for Clive to tell me about what it's like to driving the car since the upgrades. So clear road ahead and Clive slips from 2nd into 3rd and ease the throttle to the metal 2500 rmp passes with out much trouble 3000rpm still nice and collected 3500rpm and things are now just starting to show potential, but nothing can prepare you for what is about to transpire when the needle gets to 4000rpm. Now I have been in some pretty fast cars including a Le Mans Lola which was built only to race and was FAST. But Clives car is on a different level to any road car that it's been my pleasure to ride in before. At 4000rpm the Turbo says "lets get this party started" and you are surrounded by your senses telling you that this is something your body has never been exposed to before. The rush just continues up to the rev limiter with the sudden need for the next gear and on it goes into hyper sphere. But today the road just ran out. "What a great ride Clive" thinking its all over. Not likely we pull over Clive jumps out telling me to jump in the drivers seat. At this stage I pinch myself just to check that I'm not dreaming. Into the driving seat it is then. Well would you have to think about it. Depress the triple plate hydraulic thrust bearing clutch and into first then lift up the clutch slowly, just to get the feel, through 2nd 3rd and into 4th car is almost like a shopping car, well behaved and mild mannered. After 10 minutes I'm beginning to fell at ease with the car and now have enough confidence to ask a little bit more from her. Out onto the A20 and down Death Hill now known as Gores Hill, from 2nd I slip her into 3rd building the revs slowly up to 4000 then move the carpet and rivet the pedal to the floor. My heart has just popped into my mouth to check out my teeth and in a blink of an eye I need 4th and the awesome power of this car still keeps coming and coming the speed limit has long gone and we are fast approaching traffic. Down to Farningham roundabout and start the climb back up to Scracthes Lane with another chance to see what this car is capable of again I'm left in no dout the power is just like turning the switch on and is instant. Time for one more blast and home for Granby's ride. What do I think of the total package, well I've got first refusal if Clive ever gets tied of this FANTASTIC P1. The feed back through the steering tells you everything you need to know about the road under the tyres. The brakes are as fast to stop the car as the engine is at propelling it foward. The surspension is able to cope with every day roads and can be quikely adjusted for track use. In all the MOST desirable car it's been my pleasure to drive. Many thanks to Clive for keeping his promise to let me take the helm of his PRIDE and JOY.

A HUGE Big thank you to Granby for working his MAGIC and getting my Gauges going. An Excellent and professional job. Sorry for the long day Ian. But I think the ride in Clives car helped soften the blow.

That's right on Jolly Green Monsters patch.

CHEERS Col think we have it sorted now.

Thanks for the HELP guy's think Ian is coming to the rescue. Have to pick up on the headlight loom as the gauge lights change colour at night.

I will call you tomorrow to chat.

Dash is out when can you come?

Wiring Instuctions. Red- 12v constant power Black- Ground White-12v accessory power Orange- Headlight switch And that's it Ian

Well yes and no. Yes if you know what your doing. No if your like me.

Will be posting up soon. Work has beem manic. But it was better than the last time, which was FANTASTIC.

OK tried that, it's not working.

Just ease yourself back in slowly, light on the gas and sure on the anchors. So the wait is over and the learning curve now starts. Can't wait for your appraisal. Enjoy.

Need someone to find where to pickup in the loom then solder and heat/shrink wrap. Instructions tell me which wires go where but I have no idea which colour wires they are on the loom. I can wire a house but I draw the line at cars.

Hi Guy's. Fitted a set of Perrin Combi Gauges (Boost/Exhaust Temp), the easy bit , I now need someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to soldering onto the wiring loom. Is there anyone in the Club?

Just a thought Steve, can't Mark at Lateral open your existing injectors out, but I'm sure you've already researched that option.

Me likes that

Would love to Trevor, BLAST away that weekend

I would have posted this up earlier but I have only just finished all those little jobs that don't get done when you go away. Well what a fabulous "Surprise " you ALL gave me last night. I would just like to say a HUGE BIG THANK YOU to all involved. Because of the flight home I was a bit "tied" to say the least and had only intended to pop in to buy you all a drink and nip off home to bed. Even went to the Wharf by mistake (jet lag) . But your surprise picked me up so much I just had to stay for Deans quiz. Thank you all once again and well done with the quiz Dean brilliant idea.

But not unemployable
