I'd say that's pretty respectable for a car as heavy as an Omega.

A good run by both car and driver. :y

Is it manual or auto?

I guess the cross-bolted mains held up.. shame the rest of the engine block parted company from them ;D

Watching a few more videos it seems fairly common - where do these guys get their money? There's probably tens of thousands in those engines.. :o

Let me get my spanners out. I'll fix that in a jiffy. Nothing a pair of mole grips,duct tape and silicon sealant can't fix.  ::)

Yep. And what do you do when it's finished? Take it to a track and put a huge grin on your face? Nope. Try to plough a field with a rather great block of concrete.  ::)

That said, I enjoyed this entrant to the Welland tractor pull last year. ;D
