the victor

hi there i know ive been away for some time, had alot of family trouble as well as other things but now im back.

for the first project of this year we got to choose from 3 different lists of models to make, characters, environment and vehicle, and each of these had a sub category with a list of types of each we could choose from.

when i saw the vauxhall victor on the list Andy Frost was the first name that sprung to mind, after seeing Andy's victor on the internet several years earlier i knew i had to make it.

what Andy has managed to do shows what 1 man is capable of when he puts his mind to it.

first of all i will explain what makes Andy's " red victor 2" so special is not necessarily the external modifications made but what lies under the bonnet, with a 9.3 litre chevvy v8 , nitrous and 2 massive turbo chargers, the red victor 2 is pushing out approx 2200 bhp.

capable of going from 0 to 60 mph in just one second and further more from 0 to 180mph in 8 seconds, this car is dubbed as the fastest road legal car ever.

Being a car enthusiast myself i wanted to show respect to andy buy choosing his car as my first model of the year.
