This sounded very nice at Aces. Sounds nice when being booted too.

When do the turbos go on? :)

Very nice Dips; bet she sounds schweet too.

I'm guessing this is a touring you'll keep for yourself?

What happened to the brown one?

Wow, that Rover V8 looks quite tiny 8O was space a major issue when fitting?

[EDIT]Oh, and can we please have a video (or an mp3) of the thing running? Pretty please? I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to hear what it sounds like.
