Right My Zed now has the forged engine in it and just needs to be mapped - happy days we are getting close.

 

I have missed the explosive acceleration very much (and the sense of trepidation when it's slightly wet and all the hedges seeming to be shouting "pick me" as I drive past)

 

Then I get a letter from my credit card company saying interest free on CASH transfers for 30 months!

Well that's free money isn't it!

 

So one 600 mile round trip in a day and I am now the proud owner of something else silly

 

Dyno print out at 305 BHP kerb weight around 600Kgs

Rover 4.6 V8 and some very loud exhausts

 

Can you guess what it is yet?

 

 

Totally different drive to the Zed, very linear power and very very quick.

 

Happy days!

Oh yeh if a Mod could rotate the picture I would be grateful, being a luddite I clearly couldn't do it right! :thumbup::thumbup:

Wow...a lot of fun to be had and very interesting fun in the wet:thumbup1:...did i mention superchargers for the 4.6.."cough cough"

What could possibly go wrong lol

I mean its already like having a jet engine in a shoebox, the previous owner turned some mid 3 second 0-60 times and a sub 12 second quarter mile.

First gear is pointless as you select it, dab the throttle and half a second later need to change.

 

So clearly its a yes then !

Thank you Jeff now it doesn't look like I'm about to fall out :thumbup1:

Very nice mate - I would too...…

 

…….Just remember that you have to pay them the money back in 30 months though, otherwise that interest charge will seriously bite you on the arse...:wink::clover:

Very true I've already set up the direct debit so it will be paid off over the 30 months - 29.9% APR is not friendly

Good man - free money is not free for long so play the game; use it wisely...:thumbup:

If only you had thought of this 30 months ago, you’d have this car today and still be able to feed the kids for the next 30! :lol:

You are closer thank you think to my reasoning, one of my best friends has a Westfield SEight and he bought it four years ago, suddenly struck me if I'd bought the Dax four years ago I'd own it by now.

Always a million reasons not to do something, but if you want something you should make it happen and sometimes it's easy to forget that.

 

Mind you the wife hasn't yet realised there's no more Waitrose and M&S its Lidl and Poundland from now on.

 

Still as they say when it comes to wives "Husbands are always in the s@#t - only the depth varies" :biggrin:
