nah I reckon in his attempts to make it 'fast' he raised the boost a bit too high, either cracked another manifold or blew a gasket or ring
either that or he didnt take into account the extra fuel consumption of the new engine & is infact stranded in the middle of nowhere, out of signal range for his mobile phone & no way of getting back...
that may end up being his excuse for not attending the race with tim

Had a few problems, first one of the IC hoses was rubbing on the alternator and it's cut a hole through, this is now fixed/bodged till i can get a new pipe
Then i managed to break one of the cores of the rad so been out looking at that.
Reckon Radweld will fix it but also taking about 6 litres of water with me so should be ok

To be honest, I think your all being a bit unfair. Adams building something totally different, so is always going to have teething problems to start with. (Dont hear people sniggering when Beardy has a few problems)
I hope he proves all the doubting tomas's wrong - and even if he doesnt, at least hes got the balls to give it a go.
Keep up the good work mate
