Well on the w/e i saw some very impressive gear, was up at the Southern 80, on the murray of course, had an awesome little jetty at
our campsite where we all were, so we could sit right on the water, or in the boats and watch the big monsters fly past, gota say a boat doing 115-120 MPH 20 ft away is mighty impressive.
Well about 3rd boat in got just around the corner and we heard it die, small time later it drifts back around with the lads sitting on the bow with the oar, so we throw out a ski rope and bring em in to tie up, so for the rest of the race we talked with these guys and fed em some refreshing ales. So What happened ? the gearbox in the leg let go :-( Engine fine.
Well the engine was a very nice chev 496 big block, with twin turbos and a huge water/air intercooler, running 21 psi boost for a nice little 1350 horsepower.
What a weapon, apart from servicing it hasnt needed a spanner and has been raced hard since 1999 all over.
Just the thing for Erics patrol project, whata ya reckon.
