    Watched the Revival stuff on the weekend Simon? It was a bit damp there. Took home some of the Duke's topsoil from the carpark...

    I have heaps of photos...

    Disappointed that Joe and Daniel didn't make an effort! :D

    It's interesting to see the difference between the pre-1963 spec cars (250SWBs, E-Types 260 Cobras) and the TT spec cars. Had an interesting discussion with an engine builder at CKL Developments earlier this year. A TT spec Jag engine (webers, extractors, wide angle head etc is 370-380hp. You can get 400hp, but it becomes a bit undriveable. They do a lot of tricky things with them now. 289 Cobra engines he reckoned about 450hp.

    Pre-1963 spec cars run on SUs, normal cyl heads, standard manifolds etc and are probably 320-330hp. About the same as a strong 250SWB engine I would reckon.

    That awful POS in front of it perfectly encapsulates everything that is wrong with the world today.
