Spaceboy, spaceboy, spaceboy

who gives a toss, you gloriously power bloated, half shouldered, fart knuckle.

Between your inept and thoughtless comments about topics of which you have no knowledge and your snide, inane attempts at inflamation you still strangely arouse me

PS I would say Toyota heart bypass but your are too narrow minded to put that up

I'd say a Mini with no doors, roof, body, windows, seats and everything but wheels and a motor. (No need for a steering wheel or brakes if it's just about going "fast")

18/20/22 also were available in Formula Junior with the A-series as developed for Cooper. However most of the 18/20/22 used 105e ford engines by cosworth

The Coventry Climax in the 18 was for F2 and F1, for Formula Junior they used the Ford Anglia and the BMC A series engines.
If you wanted to win in Formula Junior you used a Ford motor in a Lotus chassis. If you wanted to waste money you used a BMC motor in a Cooper chassis. :lol:

Where's the asparagus or bah humbug option :?:

:P My wifes :!: :wink: :lol:
In which format are you talking about .....1/4 mile, motor khana, khana cross, circuit, hillclimb, sprint, on the street, etc, etc?
Then depending on the format there is the various vehicle set ups, tyre choices etc, etc......
Then there is the bank balance and how much "performance" it can afford.
Also there is the drivers ability of their vehicle

So King Chocolate Lips what is the point of this question :?:
