[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

....could this be considered a viable alternative?

£4000 more expensive, but at least it should unblock the old boy's adrenal glands when he presses the pedal on the right.

Room for the whippet behind the seats.

I may have found the perfect compromise.

That's a lot of fun for little money 😀😀😀

I imagine the accelerative G-force would probably finish him off.

Perhaps I should have posted a link to an elderly Humber or Riley instead.

I don`t think Stemo is that brave to attempt one of those 

[Kevin Wood]

Looks adequate.

I fear it might unblock a little more than the adrenal glands, of both he and the whippet, but it does have wipe clean vinyl seats.

A mixture of Toyo T1Rs and Yokohama AD08s is going to make handling "interesting", though.

Yes....I believe that both STMO and the whippet suffer with 'loose stools' at the best of tlmes.

It could all become very messy.

I very much like that. Very much.

I know, I know, it's a Rover V8 so it's asthmatic, has a stretched timing chain, valve seat recession, smokes like a two stroke and makes 50hp on a good day* but still, I want it.

*I am channeling my inner OOF, here. I don't believe they're *that* bad, they make at least 100hp on a good day

If the engine is from the RR 4.6, then I assume it is tuned for low down toque rather than high RPM power.

Should still be nippy though.

FTFY.

I was going along a single carriageway A road the other day and came up behind a truck, but heard a growl behind, looked in the mirror and there was a Westfield or similar behind the car behind me.

He went to overtake the car behind me and I tucked in to let him go by, so he booted it and jeez was that thing fast!   

He did give me a wave as he flashed by. 

Too much for Uncle STEMO to handle I fear.

Yep.....I have just remembered the thread when he asked why 'some modern motor cars' will do almost 100 MPH when the speed limit is seventy.

....and presumably no ESP nanny to keep it going in a straight line. 

Still, at least it has a 5 star NCAP rating should it all go tits up.

I believe Mr Wood specialises in all sorts of graceful pirouettes with a mere 2l....

[ronnyd]

He,ll have a hell of a job keeping the cloth cap on in that thing

I'm qualified to do them in the air instead now. Cheaper that way - less to hit up there.
