Lord Burley Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sorry i cant bring you any pics but for the second day running ive had problems with the camera.Lots of MV,s there but a lot looked in a sorry state.Some 6x6 Fodens with cargo bodies on them.Never seen them before.Lots of Pinzgauers,Wolfs,and a few Renolds Boughtons.Heres the only one picture i have.And this is one of the official ones from the day.Me next to Apache. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l38/BLUETHUNDER_06/DSC_0309.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Very nice car Mark! What engine is in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Burley Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 It has TVR,s own engine in it.Not the Speed 6!!!!.Its a 4.2 V8,putting out around 440bhp.Doesnt sound like a V8 though.Sounds like two flat fours.Due to the flat plane crank thats used(F1 tech)Managed on the day an unofficial time from a standing mile of 33 seconds and 174.8mph.I was given free reign to take pics of anything of interest whilst i was there.But the batterys died on my camera.I was a bit shocked at the state of some of the vehicles they had there.It was a true sign that the money is not being spent in MT anyway.

Joris Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Where I live is low flying area for our apaches...short video, battery's were empty. Wow, that _IS_ low!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martylee Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I'm almost willing to buy you a new battery if you promise to supply more of that!!! I've never seen a Apache live before. The most fun I've seen is a F-117 and that one I saw many years ago, before they were that common. And I saw it outside Roswell, Arizona which made it even more fun.
