Not a Viper, but close .....

[vrod]

Hi all,

Since Paul gave me an honary member badge several years back and I'll be joining the North Weald event, thought I'd come out the closet and crash your forum

Love the Vipers as you all know (special thanks to Tony and Richard in Germany) but could't quite shake off that hot rod itch. So off the same production line, but minus 4 cylinders, I have bought a 2000 model Prowler.

Will have its maiden showing with some of you on Sunday, will be in the North Weald show area in the morning then do the track rides in the afternoon once all the 'fast' cars have either blown up or run out of fuel!

I have now got used to the left hand wheel thing, the 0-60 is 5.7 seconds so its lame compared to you lot but its OK in sleepy Suffolk and I just take the V-Rod (3.4 sec) if I have the desire to rip my internal organs. They seem to match very well.

Looking forward to catching up with you all.

All the best

Nick



Edit - Front bumpers have gone now

Nice

fewer of those on the road than vipers by a long way. And they are from the same production line so all good in my eyes.

Cheers, would always consider a swap if you knew anyone with a supercharged yellow Viper...

Just edit this bit for accuracy

"I have now got used to the left hand wheel thing, the 0-60 is 5.7 seconds so its lame compared to you lot with Fast Red Vipers, but You Yellow guys will be used to it".

See you Sunday

Wet weather tyres required by the look of the forecast

Well I always fancied a prowler, but was worried about practicalities lol

Loved seeing the prowler at Helmingham in August.
