    Quite low res as the photographer is semi-pro but quite nice all the same.
    Full size available on request.

    Are plans afoot for 2008 yet? I fancy arriving in the area earlier and
    leaving later.

    There is one picture not being revealed yet, depends on whether the subject
    succumbs to blackmail or not.

    Several have already expressed the view that it would be desirable to be on
    site for the full event, as next year will see the use of the old 9km
    circuit.
    Stout fellow!

  5. annoying URL, it's got an @ in the middle for no good reason and as such
    gets translated as a message-id or email address. I suspect it needs the
    http:// I've put on the front end.

  6. 'tis, innit. not a blown one though. I always fancied 2 titchy turbos on a
    BM... the layout of exhausts and carbs lends itself to such.

    It's perfectly feasible to turbo twins - CX500 for example, and see also
    this lot:

    If you're going to do a one-per-side setup, superchargers would be better -
    but a single supercharger would still make more sense.

    How about tying a moped engine to the front of a twin and running it on
    full scream to drive the turbo?

    Read the RBR site for all you need to know about Turbocharging and yes R100
    twins can be done very nicely.

    I imagine the female posters to the NG will be hot to trot though.

    One of the many Chimay incidents that lots of blond and blu had wiped
    out.

    CIHAGM?

    Right now I don't want to own a BMW, but I certainly wouldn't mind a
    go in one in case my prejudices are getting in the way of owning
    something I'd enjoy driving.

    That said, I've absolutely no intention of getting rid of the RX-8 for
    a while.

    Well it is RWD too and a blinder of an engine.
    I would buy it newish over a comparable power 3-Ser.

    I may do just that once I drop the 911, which has no place on English roads
    (sadly)
