Are you Groomys mate?

I don't really have any pics of the car as it's still has panels of at least 3 colours.

Who's Groomy? (which kinda answers your question).

That boost curve is really flat, how are you controlling it?

No pictures to speak of. Yeah $17k & counting. That includes 2 rip offs & I have almost 2 complete spare engines & lots of parts to sell off.

Very very nice man!, cant wait for some pics of it finally!

It was like waiting to see Gerry's car!, it took me about 2-3 years to ask for pictures, and when they arrived, was that a huge monkey off my back!

I promise I'll think about getting the camera's battery charged to take a shot of something......there is that vauge enough?

Actually now that the thing can actually drive I'll get it out in the sun & hopefully get some pretty pics this weekend. I will warn you she'd none too handsome with all the mismatched panels, but the engine bay is looking fairly organised.
