A few years back at our Aussie Nationals held in West Wyalong I took what became known as Satans Toy for a spin before the days events commenced....780KG... 550+Hp..running VP104 race fuel...street slicks..2 matt glass body..8" perspex screen ...painted Matt blk with 20 spray cans the nite before,so I had taken the car for a spin through town only to be pulled up by the local copper, his questions were as follows;

1. "so this is Satans toy, hey??"
YES OFFICER
2."Do you know what speed you were doing?"
NO!!I DON'T HAVE A SPEEDO
3."The car is registered ??????"
AHHH YEAHHHSSSSS"....."BUT NOT TO ME"
4." Let's see what we have here-
NO mirrors of any kind,no speedo, a bit to low for my liking,i can see the road ,engine and diff from within the cockpit, AND THAT FUEL WHAT IS IT:!!!!!AND A TAD LOUD I COULD HEAR YOU FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN!! Now we give you guys a good run up here you be a good boy and be on your way just keep an eye on your tacho to gauge your speed.
