I dont think even the Canonball will make it more famous somehow.....I wonder where Martin has been hiding that 300bhp Delorean all this time?
Methinks it might not yet exist! :shock:

Yeah, I had a DG moment when I wrote that :lol:

The engine is in the workshop, just waiting on a set of pistons, which I'd order off Dave if he'd answer his mail...

It's not stretching the truth too far - having built several odd-fires, as well as the twin turbo Z7U (and got it running) plus Tony's ECU, it's just the formality of some different pipework to do it in my D.

Although I have tracked down 3 sets of A610 pistons, it's just a question of convincing them out of the owner's hands..... :D

A DG moment, you wish :lol: I don't make up power figures for engines that don't even exist yet..8) That pic isn't even your engine :wink:

Never stretch the truth, just makes you look like an plonker in the long run... :wink:
