I don't know Tom, you could probably move the engine backwards and make a nice cup holder out of the engine cover. No need for heat either.

Yikes.... talk about maintenance.

I'm hope-in you still will put a smiley after you "drop" that in. You may put a cup holder on an I6 but you can cook lunch and dinner at the same time on that.

Ah yes, the venerable Rolls Royce Merlin, don't they sound sweet...

[Vendetta]

I can't wait to see this thing in videos.

Hell, I'd even be up for another 3-hour drive to see it in person if the gents at AutoPros would have us. Would NOT want to miss that opportunity.

Whadaya say, AP? Could we maybe have another get together if we promise to mop up all the drool?

Any progress?

The VX is currently at the exhaust shop. When we get it back later this week, the interior gets ripped out one more time for the sounds system to go in. Then just waiting on Aeroquip/Eaton to finish the last A/C fitting to be able to wrap that up. Tires, emblems, detail, we are wrapping it up soon!

[AutoPros]

Exhaust is complete. New video coming soon.

[Vendetta]

Not. Soon. ENOUGH.

Gang, any thoughts on one more get together for a roll-out ceremony befitting this beast before she gets expatted? I'd jump at the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see this rig in person.

Just back from the new tune by GM... this VX is pretty bad ***!

[ojmagg]

It better be...for 40 Gees...those must have been toilet paper green-backs...

[Leon R]

Any chance you guys could take it down the 1/4 mile strip?

Leon R, all depends when the tracks open back up, still out of season here.

Well, that never stopped us posting "quarter mile" times back in the day! Does the ScanGuage II do quarter mile times?
