Their version of practical is a 1980s transit van with a chevvy LS1 in the nose.

Or a Rover SD1 with a 27liter meteor engine in it. They are aiming at 1002 hp as "We can't let the germans win"

With the exception of Autosport, it's the first magazine I've subscribed to since the demise of CCC (Cars and Car Conversions).

If you've never bought it, I'd say it's worth getting a copy to see if you like it.

Cheers,

Eric :)

I liked the bit about stuck nuts and bolts.

I'd never heard about those 'easyout' tools - brilliant idea.

Easyouts are bollocks. As they say they will work on snapped bolts that you have just put in, not on siezed gubbins as they snap off quite easily as they are so hard :roll:
