Hi all
2 years of lurking is now at an end.
Long story but me and my dad started this project after a visit to the South African version of Speedweek at Hakskeenpan in 2014, the site where Bloodhound plans to do its runs.
We went in a double cab pickup but on the return journey decided that it was no fun without a modified car.
A lot of research later I unfortunately stumbled across the Jeff Gerner videos and decided that the S4 is the perfect platform for our project, especially after seeing the muscle cars, Porches and AMG Mercs struggling to put down the power on the salt.
A bit of scouring landed us a 242k 1992 model for roughly 1700 euro (the South African Rand is an un-mentionable currency and it was driven 700km for delivery. another 800 odd euros had us a roadworthy and the car on the road.
This was in May 2015.
We took it up to Verneukpan, site of Malcolm Campbell 1930
