I had a phone call last night and all I could hear was thunder, well not realy, it was Mrs brock sticking her phone in the shed while the engine was running.
Great to hear, see you on the weekend.

Congratulations!  I never doubted it'd breath again, but must be a relief to have her up & running. So if anyone wants to come watch you in action at the weekend, where should they be going & when? |

I'll definitely be at the Drags! Taz is working 7 days a week at the moment, so probably won't be there. She'll be gutted to miss the big public debut.

your faith is touching, the internal architecture of the motor is different enough for it to be considered a new unit and I had my doubts that we had it right but it seems close. The Big Fella stopped by tonight and without him we would still be there now, more to do than I had thought, but we got it sorted. The timing has been reset and seems to like it better, the rear light connected so as to act as an external indicator for the main power switch, minor oil leak from the filter sorted and a second one on the timing cover also dealt with. The transmission topped off and tested, and the remaining body panels fitted. The car is now loaded in the truck along with pretty much everything else we own and spares for most of it, the whole evening was not without incident but nothing that can't be finessed with further experience. So, up at five and off to the track to see what breaks,

Hi guys, I found the build thread at last! Just looked through all 43 pages and i just had to register to add my congratulations on building a fantastic new car.A real credit to you both.  Looking forward to having a closer look at it at the drags. Take it easy and good luck with it, Chris (ex Europrint) |

Just in case there's anyone here who hasn't got a clue what Mrs B's talking about, drag racing basically evolved from traffic light racing & involves pitting your car against the clock over a measured 1/4 of a mile track. So Brock's first run in the reborn Black Pig saw him go from a standing start to 140 miles an hour in the length of 4 football pitches in a tad under 12 seconds. Well done to all at Black Pig HQ. Hope you got some photos! |
