Ibis - the guys doing this used to work for the Dr can't see him welcoming them back when their V8 has more power than the factory V12
007 - the Bamford Rose guys are VERY experienced with this engine,it is design to run at high revs for endurance races so I am confident it will be OK.
Besides they will be testing and running mine in on a bench dyno, we will then test the car round Millbrook where I sign it off if I am happy, if not it gets reworked. Once I sign it off it is warrantied to end of 2014 with unlimited mileage

Well I know this has been a bit quiet for a few months
BUT the engine is now nearly done and will be going in the car in a couple of weeks
Really looking forward to this!
I've had to really stop myself buying a V12 Roadster but this will be so worth it!

On the last episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," Bill said that when someone ends an internet comment with "just sayin' " they're almost always making a dickish comment. Guess Bill was right!
