700bhp/tonne, your going to need iron pants lol

I read that the Bugatti Veyron has around 540bhp/tonne, so you've got a very impressive figure there.

Got any pics of the latest?

The Bugati wieghts nearly 2 Tons.... More like a high powered Rolls Royce, than a Sports car.....
Aparently with a Full tank of fuel and J Clarkson in it, it wieghts over 2.1 Tons..... Ouch....

Great having all that horse power at high speeds where Drag is the biggest killer, but not so good on 0-100 times as the Wieght is the biggest killer there.... So would hope to beat it in at least that race....
The Zcars Monty Carlo with 235bhp and me sitting init has 400bhp/ton, and that would definatly beat the Bugati to 60 if not 100... Point proven... And we all know how would win on a tight twisty go cart track...

Every car has it's good and bad area's.... The trick is to make it for what "you" want it to do....

Me I want a track day car, that also does the 1/4 mile in under 10.5 sec's..... Hope I get there....

Well the news I was talking about is after much searching and a nice drive home I now have a Mini Minus...... Taxed and Moted so am going to use it until the time I need to strip it for my space frame......

Should save another 25 Kgs........

ooh my grandad has a pretty special minus! check out mini magazine October 1997 for a feature on it!

what are you aiming for in terms of all up weight including fluids and driver?

[F1 Mini]

Just as light as I can get it realy.. Would like under 600kgs.. Here's hoping...

F1Mini, did you get the one on eBay? I actually won that bid just to find out it had been sold and picked up Saturday AM....

[F1 Mini]

Unfortunatly yes that is the car I now have... When I got home and saw that some one had hit the buy it now option, I did feel a bit guilty..
But the last Minus I tried to get of Ebay I lost to a person on this forum, so I was determined to get this one..

All I can say is Sorry for getting your hopes up... and recomend that if you find another, go there as soon as you can and take cash...

Its jsut dawned on me, you have a 44 page project thread, but as I understand it, you don't actually have a mini yet do ya?

[F1 Mini]

I did look back and you'll find it, but lets say it's now in retirement... :'(

Can anyone tell me why my less than 20kb pic's won't upload ?????

[Jammy]

Theres a global upload limit. You can now only upload images upto a total size of 25Mb, including every image you've ever uploaded. Use photobucket or imageshack instead (has the added bonus of saving TMFs bandwidth!).

Hope that worked..

Ah now I've got the hag of it...

Cheers bud..
