A mate of mine has a Rover V8 in his Locost. Can't wait for a go.

I used to think the big engined cars were cool, but I test drove a 4.6V8 and hated it - gone right off them now

Still cool that it all fitted in !!

I loved the sound of the 4.6l Rover/TVR lump in the first one I looked at. Looked amazing and sounded glorious. I'd have bought it if a) it had gone as fast as it sounded, b) the gearbox wasn't suspect c) i fitted behind the overhead mounted pedal box d) it was 4 grand cheaper.


This one must be mental to drive... think I'll stick with a 2l zetec for now - until I get bored and put a bike engine in it for a bit more performance

Interesting defenition of the word "fit" you're using there.
Can you see anything out of the windscreen?
