If i'm correct we have two Howmet's here, both XM property and prepared by Sébastien Crubilé, a classic Porsche specialist. About one, I'm sure Sébastien said the turbine comes from an helicopter, they had to shake a young retired to fix some troubles like idling for instance. Sébastien reports the chassis is very good even if the lack of engine braking is a handicap.
Strange because I think we already talked about that here… Normal because, born in the 60's, I'm already an old nincompoops! Booooooob? Un suppositoire et au lit, mec! |

It's Beaujolais Nouveau time - does the annual race back to England with the first bottles still happen?
If so, it's rather foggy in this part of the world this morning, so they might be late! |

Brexit Update - someone we've heard of has resigned in outrage at the document that we all thought he was responsible for. Which is a touch surprising.
Someone we haven't heard of and don't really care about resigned overnight. Which isn't really surprising. But nothing will change until December 2020 so the major players will be long gone. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk |

Thanks Max, Keep us posted. That all makes sense.Mrs May lives just across the road from me. I might pop round Sunday for a cuppa and a natter.Our previous dog went for a wander a few years ago he was found in her garden. She called me up and I took her a bottle of wine as a thank you.

I can't answer this question, John, but I can tell you that some years ago I was right of the middle of this kind of night "go fast" on the highway. The best I found to play with was a guy driving flat out a modified Saab 900 turbo S. His cockpit showed only the driver seat, all the rest was for wine. Yes, happy day!

The two original TXs had prototype helicopter engines made by Continental, but after the cars stopped racing the engines were taken back. I think one now has a correct engine fitted again. But there are now 3 cars, another one having been being built up from an original spare chassis. That and the other original are now fitted with Allison turbines. Xavier has owned both at one time or another..... |

Delta, your dog has really good taste for his relationship, I'm jealous. I now dream my two beloved mutts wandering in the Elysée gardens, trying to bite the purebred mongrel of the actual renter. Nice thought!
Just bought a fluoro jacket for the female… Will be helpful this coming Sat' Happy day!! |

Wilmazz if one day you're suggested to refurbish a T5/4 speed gearbox, just refuse or bring some friends with. Remove the bell could help in transportation though… You'll learn on the hard and heavy way what iron means then… |

Anyway, no need to worry about the status of National A licences in Europe soon, most here won't be able to afford to race over the channel at the rate the £ is dropping. We'll need our passports for Knockhill and Nutts Corner soon so you can get your fill of racing abroad while still spending the good old £. Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk |

I'm currently enjoying my salary in Euros. And month on month there's very little change in the exchange rate since June 2016 so I'm getting somewhat fed up with the doom mongers using it as an excuse not to do something.
