I have seen the videos on flickr but confused as thought it was to have a Fireblade engine? Doesn't sound like one, 'blade motors wail for a past time but that sounds flat like a big twin?

There's a link to it below Mike:

I'd just put a few pics up of its first trip out, there is still a lot to amend and finish on it. The car is stripped back down to bare chassis again now and is starting to get rebuilt from from chassis up over. I still don't fit in it but that is nearly rectified, Noel is having fun driving the car around and claims that it is most responsive and was good fun.

I had a little drive of it too & agree it was very quick from a standstill start

A strange but very exciting feeling being central to the car as opposed to the Roadster, its the first time i,ve driven a single seater & can,t wait for the book to be published to get building one

Keep up the great progress Spud & Noel

cheers
