Guys,

Can understand the disappointment after putting together a huge and from most accounts well received presentation on the EuroFordClub, BUT remember that the real thing to get out of the day is FUN, the recognition is nice but think about it, is it really that important? I am sure Tim and the rest of you are getting more of a kick from the pats on the back others are giving you here and your own feelings about your efforts than anything a little trophy could give you.

Just be happy with the knowledge that you guys rocked on the day, had a great time and enjoy each others company.

Todd

ps bummed I missed the day. Great weather, thoughts of the bbq and cake are making me hungry as I type this.

Wel boys, you didn't get the Best Club Trophy, but we did win some other trophies for the Euroford Cabinet from the AFF dyno day!
Top effort from Photn....especially when he wasn't there and didn't have a car!

Thanks Timmeh.

I particularly like the 88.3 REAR wheel kw's! Think how fast I'd go if I let the front wheels join in!!LOL

Mind you, you'd kick my butt on the dyno with your car wouldn't you Tim?

In rear wheel kilowatts or front? LOL

Until I put the new wild head on it, I'm not sure, to be honest. See, Seano runs the same car as me but with twin sidedraught Webers on it, and he didn't post a very high output for what I was expecting. I heard that the dyno man didn't rev the car into its power band though, so it's hard to tell. Until proven otherwise, you're the man to beat.

While we're on the subject, anyone got any pics of the Eurofords on the dyno day?

I know an XR4 here went on the dyno, and a couple of the Fez Zetecs, and I have video but no still images yet.

Anyone?

I forgot my camera on the day, sorry. Ask Seano, I might have some pics of us on the dyno.

Awesome, thanks. Do you mind if they get used on the EFC site? I'll blank out the plates if desired.
