I got this teaser video sent as part of my subscription to a US drag racing youtube channel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I0tB1saAPY&feature=digest

40 seconds in for just a few seconds looks a bit like a MG to me? Sounds like it could be rotary powered?

The events on this weekend comming so if it is an MG I'll put a link up for the event video if it's shown.

Bill

Looks like a round wheel arch model as well. And thats how fast all MG's should be anyway :)

You got the garage done yet? And is there a kettle in there??

I'm not down with my MG's it looked MG like & interesting tho :lol:

My garage has the walls/doors/wood for the roof done.

I have a big tarp covering the wood. It leaks a bit but randomly since my neighbour burnt his garden rubbish :beatstick:

We are going to give it a go getting the felt on the roof this weekend if the weathers ok :)

I've been busy with my CRX tho the old engines out & the new ones built & nearly ready to go in, the turbo's been mocked on the engine so I can have the oil/water lines made. I'm waiting on some gearbox bits for the last 6 weeks or so :evil: :tard:

Booze & now ex GF's have been eating up too much time!

Bill
