It's better live,
With the gas turbine driving the turbo it allows Nick Mann to vary the boost levels according to venue and weather keeping it at a constant level.
The acceleration is amazing with very little tyre spin; it just "squats and goes".

You always wonder what he will come up with each year, as the bloke is an engineering wizard

Does Nick Mann still have that Mallock? I would be very keen to see it in action!

Yes I am still alive,

How's it going Peter?
I did have my car up for sale in October and early November but had loads of time wasters phoning up so I decided to keep it for another year and get the front body panels painted, then see what money I’ve got left for other ideas.
The last time I saw the “Manic” was at the May 2006 meeting at Gurston where they ended up striping the turbine fuel system down to find a leak or blockage.
I don’t know if he will be around this year? but if he is, it more than likely to be at the national hill climb championship rounds or Shelsley.

Good! Not going so well at the minute....my electric set up has gremlins...the car is all back together and is waiting to go to the rolling road man to see if he can figure out why it wont start. It'll be something silly...but I cant say for sure til next week.
