Simon.Rogers1 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've just decided that since my car doesn't do that then yours is not allowed to either - Your Fired ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david nelson Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 sound amazing. looks like a very fast class 4 car. You just need a little switch so as you que up alongside you fellow class 4 competitors you can burn his/her tyres away. would also be good for long tunnels, while trying to map read. When again map, paper, fire, may be not the idea of the year. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Durrant Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I looks like the old boy has had a late life fashion crisis and finally said goodbye to the flares 😳.....however, I wonder if he still has the leather armchair 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikes Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Excellent 😬 And to think I was worried about a little popping and banging on overrun with mine! Pity about the flares though - they were so .....you! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ster Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Simon & David 😬 Rob - No you didn’t! Ray & Mike - Fashion moves on and I just have to keep up, albeit with a 25 year delay. Leather armchair? How could I possibly part with that – I need leather in my life somewhere. You will be suggesting that I take out the valve radio next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamV Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Wot no 'clams'? You will certainly lose points for style.... Dont think there will be many in the paddock with clams this year - great pity. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Williams Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I like that. 😶🌫️ Still the best engine in the championship by a long way We now have a visual treat to complement the aural one. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Englishmaninwales Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Paul As I always say to you, it's nice to see a 'proper' engine, especially at full bore So the trusty flares went to the tip...along with mine: ☹️ Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskip Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nice 😬 I had my xflow on the rollers a few years back and the flames managed to melt the probe that the operator had put in the tail pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Escargot Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Paul I assume your rear wing is now treated with Proban - or have you managed to obtain one in Nomex? (unless this is some devious plan for tyre warming) Sounds great Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ster Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 I like the idea of tyre warming but suspect that that DN is right and it is more likely to end up with a very soft tyre for whoever is lucky enough to be lined up alongside me Thanks for all the comments on the engine I do get a lot of pleasure from it. But like all the real pleasures in life, it is accompanied by some pain – financial in this case Malcolm, your flares are still alive if you want them – across the back to give some downforce maybe?

Graham Perry Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 My all steel Crossflow is at Northampton tomorrow for Troy to work his magic. Not expecting flames or big HP numbers though as I have had to rebuild it to a lower spec after 4 successive expensive engine failures in one year ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
