Drivers pictures

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

You can clearly see MHUK's white knuckles and gritted teeth as he desperately wills the turbo auto to go faster than the batmobile! :lol: ;)

Sorry to hi-jack the thread slightly (well, a lot!), but is that a 2-litre turbo engine you've got there?

Hi,

yes it is ... I took the 2-litre B20F engine from a 440 and turbocharged it with the parts from the B18FT engine :)
but was a little work to do ... the pistons were reworked stronger clutch is added ( sachs ) stronger bearinges were added and some other stuff that everything fit´s.

I've only got photos when I'm driving the MG or the spitfire :cryhard:

Unless JT's got any good ones when overtaking me in Dunkerque ?
