bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 20y 5d Location: Canberra Posted 30/01/07 11:35 PM Share Posted 30/01/07 11:35 PM Great write up Phoon, made for an entertaining read. Wow, the new Nizpro setup sounds incredible. Just when I think I've reached where I want to go with the car (it's only a T, not an F6), I read a story like that and my mind starts wandering. Maybe best to save such thoughts for if/when I have a better base to work with (the ZF 6 speed would be a great start, for example, whether it be in a Phoon or BF T). Like you, I also have to contend with a very wary Minister for Finance and I think I've pretty much stretched every boundary I can! Meanwhile, I'll continue to enjoy write ups like this, thanks for taking the time. BTW, what part of Canberra are you in and what does your car look like (I'll make a note not to take you on if I see you!!)?
