Guest Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 It was a silly comment by James Allen. However I would certianly like an engine in my westfield that would rev over 19000 rpm, as long as someone else paid the bills. John Quote
adhawkins Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 However I would certianly like an engine in my westfield that would rev over 19000 rpm, as long as someone else paid the bills. And you didn't want to drive more than a couple of hundred miles at a time... Andy Quote
moomin Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 However I would certianly like an engine in my westfield that would rev over 19000 rpm, as long as someone else paid the bills MY04 Yamaha R1 anyone...? ok so you might have to settle for 14000rpm, but it's close moomin Quote
david.c Posted March 22, 2004 Author Posted March 22, 2004 P.s. well done Button Yep. It was a well earned result, that has been long overdue. Good to see a few more cars on the same lap as M.S. this race. David Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 MY04 Yamaha R1 anyone...? ok so you might have to settle for 14000rpm, but it's close moomin Yep 2000cc and about 750bhp light Quote
moomin Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 he didn't specify that it should be of the same capacity and produce the same power, just wanted revs and we all know the best way to do that in a road car... just some of us are afraid to admit it Edited to add: I wouldn't say no to 14000rpm, 1000cc, 180bhp... besides it revs twice yer average Zetec hat, coat, see ya... moom Quote
steppenwolf Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Any reader of the F1 related newsgroups will know that James Allen's commentary isn't the most popular... Actually, I quite like him ( although I preferred his 'from the pit' reports ). Looking on the bright side, at least the appalling Louise Goodman didn't get the job alongside Martin ........ Quote

windy Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 'Just to give you an idea of how high that is, your Mondeo engine would explode at 6000 revs!' James Allen - during the Malaysian Grand Prix Didn't hear that bit. I fell asleep after the first 5 mins. Quote
Eccentric_Rich Posted March 23, 2004 Posted March 23, 2004 And what a job Ted Kravitz has got, he gets to go to every Grand Prix, hang out in the pit lane and all he has to do is report if the pit crews are fitting scrubbed or new tyres!! Quote

Martin Keene Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Did you see M.S. get out of his car 35 years old and looked like he could have done it all over again yeah... but he is a freak Quote
Guest Posted March 24, 2004 Posted March 24, 2004 Before you go if all he wanted was revs the he should have fitted a 100 A kart engine 20000+ rpm Then again, a small gas turbine might be the job - 100,000 at a cruise with quite an incredible noise. Now wher is the nearest helicopter scrapyard to Teesside. John Quote
