They had the dream rides running, and one of the guys owns a westfield with a tuned RV8 in!

I've not been in something that accelerates faster than that. :shock:

It was an absolute animal and was easily raining in the Murcialago he was playing with.

Made me giggle like a schoolgirl rather than a quivering wreck.

Sounded good too!
A well tuned v8 can cure most ailments :D

Yep......a decent V8 is the best tonic for the blues/life! :twisted:

hahaha thats funny !!
i repaired & painted one of them some years back !! guy raced it in the caterham series or similar ?? !! he spun it & it went into a tire wall back wards !! , sure it was brandhatch or might of been lydden hill , had a full race four pot twin cam rover K motor in it ! he said it was 250 bhp might of been 215 ?? though it was a bit high , but don't know much about them , street legal any way he took me out in it , once i squashed in , ! quick !! but seemed much faster because its low to the ground !! !! no roof & stiff suspension !
anyway i'm rambling on now but ,
this bloke was into bikes also , & done track days with a tweaked R1 , i painted some fairings , tank bits & bobs , not up on bike part names !
in chatting he said once i build the R1 back up , i'll take you out on it ! i said yeah that be good !! as you do ! ( but secretly hoping it would not happen, had a ride on a quick bike years before, wish hadn't!! ) he turned up one dinner time with a second helmet :shock: , well i could not back out now !!
managed to squash my self on the back of this bike , & held on for dear life !! bloody hell !! did not know if i was going to be sick , have my heart come through my chest !! , just felt like jumping off , thats guys face in the video Dave posted was nothing compared to what mine must of been like , my legs were like jelly , :shock: :pale:
