Twin engine Cars are Road legal aslong as you run 1 engine at a time on the road and not both, well in the eyes of the law 
Not as if your nothing going to run both on the road from time to time.
Nice to see the Nova is still going, was thinking it was stored in Regals shop all its life 
Timrud - ye Will told me about it said it was metal in a straight line

The stupidest thing I've ever been in!
Very warm inside. Brutal acceleration, front end and back end trying to pull in opposite directions. Will had it, I remember we stopped, he put it in second, did a mother of all launches, straight to third, hit the limiter then slammed on. If you know Sheffield at all and the road we did it on and stopped, it shows how immese that car is. Managed to hit just over 100 and stop in a scarey short distance.
Then a couple of days later I went and raced it in mine. Made my car look like a Metro going backwards. Awesome. If I ever go in anything as fast I'll be a lucky boy.
Remember though, it maybe over 700bhp, but a single engined car at 700bhp would beat it. Probably equal to say 550bhp in a single engined nova.
