Dandy Engines Knox Cruise Night

A catch-up of some Dandy Engines client cars to drive down to the monthly Knox Cruise Night together, and a quick pizza afterwards. Just another excuse to enjoy the hobbies!

VL Calais with a lazy 536KW at the wheels!

Our congratulations go to Paul Vavitis whose hard work has built up this impressive VL Calais. The pictures speak for themselves, and the numbers talk too with 536 KW at the wheels, RB30 SOHC. Well done Paul!

Domenic Luppino’s Mustang – drama but wins again!

Domenic’s Mustang is running small block 449ci twin 82mm turbos, but the way he is winning is no small feat! What’s more when the Mustang winds up, is doesn’t just make a great pass, he wins his Pro Street class!

Andre’s XT

Andre’s XT is a stock block 383ci Cleveland with CHI heads and makes a very stout 650hp. It runs a 10.39 @ 130mph in street trim on radial tyres and mufflers, with a relatively slow 60 ft time. Not bad for a daily driver……………

Sweet XT

Victor and Gino really know how to build a car. This beauitiful XT Fairmont not only looks great but really gets up and goes too. A recent trip to Heathcote saw them run a 10.51 @ 129MPH in street trim with full exhaust and ET street tyres. That has drawn a lot of attention to this [...]
