got pulled on the way home jamie, didnt know there was an unmarked car behind me . set off from the lights near to where i crashed ,lit the tyres up in the first 3 gears (it really does need a dif). copper was ok though .he was more interested in how the hell a combi van could accelerate so fast and what a 40 odd yr old bloke was doing in such a sleeper.lol. spoke to dave today and he said that its set on low boost aswell. sneeky bast..d. doesnt trust me at all.

no seriously mark, its a 400bhp Let combo van!, ill try and get some pics up next week if laurence is using it on monday, dave who owns the van is well known round here, his last project was an let viva running around 350bhp iirc. The engine from the viva is the one in the combo van, but obviously more uprated to cope with 400 horses. Total vauxhall have been intouch with him a few times about featuring it but he wants it perfect before it gets featured.

Just imagine, white everyday combo van on steelies! Yes steelies and black factory bumpers but mahoosive power under the bonnet!
Laurence is the only person he trusts with it!
