Appetite suitably whetted. Are you at liberty to give more detail?

Right, that looks like fun. Won't make as nice a noise, though, and I'm not sure that he can charge it at Shelsley at the same time as Pam is cooking!
Wonder if we need to cover electric vehicles in the next training day? |

Apparently charging is all taken care of by other means and we need to research electric vehicles ourselves before we can advise at training days Seriously though..........Its not a bad idea to get some information on it as it could be usefull.... |

Graemes Electric Car
For those of you that don't know the predator is up for sale (someone with lots of money please buy so we can still have it on the hills) and Graeme is planning on competing in an electric car next year. All the links are on the 2t4t website.
Stupid question maybe ... what class will he be entered in since he effectively has 0 cc?? |

I suspect both the Predator and the new BeeFour electric car are going to keep us talking for quite some time.
As the Predator is being sold, I've split talk of the new machine off into it's own thread, so we wander off in that direction and also talk about the Predator without the two conversations tripping over each other. |

Old Vauxhalls interfere with Radio Coms, and nearly everything interferes with timing. Could be interesting. Should it come to a halt, abrupt or otherwise, I think I shall refrain from touching it until he's got one foot on the tarmac and I know there'll be no nasty discharges. Well, other than the usual verbal ones!

It'll be good to see the name again - on something more interesting than that Rover some years ago.
Shame it won't sound like the V16 though! |

Even better than the V10. Question is, if the engine's making no noise, will we hear him swearing on the way up. Might need to increase the volume of the commentary.
Oh, no, maybe not, that's you now, isn't it?! |
