Was in the garage today looking through some boxes & found my collection of Retro Cars magazine - some great features including the rolling road shoot out. It got me thinking...who's still about & do they still own the same motor - some of course are obvious, but i'm gonna list the folks who were there - be interesting to see who's still in the game.....

James Darvill - claimed 220bhp - achieved 175.5bhp
Simon Blewitt - claimed 220bhp - achieved 184.8bhp
Jonhspin - claimed 220bhp - achieved 205.7bhp
Andy Rabson - claimed 220bhp - achieved 216.6bhp
Tony Maddocks - claimed 175bhp - achieved 163.2bhp
Graham Hunt - claimed 230bhp - achieved 175.1bhp
Jon Cooke - claimed 175bhp - achieved 194.2bhp
Dave Sibley - claimed 2000bhp - achieved 237.2bhp
Ricky O'Hara - claimed 175bhp - achieved 185.5bhp
Phil Clews - claimed 220bhp - achieved 239.5bhp
Dips - claimed 180bhp - achieved 185.1bhp
Rob Coulson - claimed 240bhp - achieved 199.2bhp

One thing's for sure - claiming 220bhp was a popular choice...:icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin:

I'm still about but don't currently own a 21.....for now..

Who else is still about...???
 
What was the car on the front cover of that issue, cause I remember having it somewhere, will be interested to have a look.

@ Dave - Phil Clews - claimed 220bhp - achieved 239.5bhp

That was when i had the bogey! I still don't believe that the figures were correct on the RR. My silver 21 was quicker, and had less power when it was mildly modded:icon_wink:

The bogey was a ph2, and thats what put me off owning ph2's ever again. Ph1's forever & ever :icon_wink:
 
Rabson still has teh same car is just a garage ornament now.

As for mine Rust in peace. Is all i can say.
