WOW. That is definately one of the most beautiful sedans I've seen so far. Incrediable- I hope it makes it into production.

Gotta love that exhuast note and the way it just EXPLODES outta that turn!!

Cool write up 'madmax'. What's the stroy behind the road test? Was it for Autolanka ( or some other automagazine) or where you looking to get one for yourself or a friend?

You're going from a Defender/Intercooler to a bata van? Big step down there buddy. Why not hit it somewhere in the middle and get yourself a smaller more fuel efficient suv or crossover like a Vitara, Jimmy, Outlander, Xtrail Pajero io etc.?

Obviously because he's got something better in the pipeline. Big picture: I sell this now, and then I buy that (350z, Cayenne, Cayman , Range Rover, EvoX etc) later.

Ah! The ticket counter from the Autoshow Organised by Maristella College.

Slightly OT but: Anyone know what the "safari cables" on the J44 advertised in the classifieds do? (They run from the two top corners of the A pillar to the edge of the fenders). Link to the advertisement

Yeap awesome car, and an absolute beast on the highway with insane road presence. Too bad it took so long to get a limited slip differential put on, but better late than never....

Happy birthday man

WOW ! Nice looking kit car there. Find a link to an overveiw that includes a link to the company website here Just out of curiosity, what kind of tax rate would apply to a kit car if its shipped in pre-assembly form? Will it just be taxed as spare parts?

This link describes the armoured Mercs to be launched in 2008. A nice read, plus at the bottom it lists a potential list price of $500,000+ (Was thinking this could perhaps explain the huge sum of money spent on the amoured Mercs the goverment bought recently)

Canadian plates. Zeem, spoiler's good but is the spoiler what you really wanted?

Yeah man, most people never hit speeds at which their spoliers and / or body kits add down force. At lower speeds its just extra weight and drag.

Good on you 'Zeem35'. I'm glad you got the car you wanted. Hope you have tons of fun in it. Cheers and Best wishes from us all.

Wouldn't mind. Does the good monk have an email address?

Why doesnt the temple committee just sell them / auction them off to enthusiasts and donate any funds raised to the needy? The benefits are multiple: 1. The needy in the area would benefit 2. It'd save the temple from having to spend funds on restoring the cars 3. It'd save on the maintenance costs after the restoration work is done 3. It'd free up storage space and let the temple committee focus their time on more important things (like helping the needy). 4. It'd help the temple shed some of its material possessions 5. The cars would end up in the hands of someone who'd be passionate over taking proper care of them

Interesting, so what's the deal are these cars for sale? Abandoned? Cars that were donated to the temple over the years which are not being used?

Thanks for the link 'FastCar'. Loving that Triumph TR 2 he has

Your link doesn't work. Could you mail it to me? [email protected] Thanks.

Excellent laptops, Gihan- Thanks!

Hey Gihan, send those pictures over my way as well please! email: [email protected]

Another interesting video, lower speeds of course but still interesting.

Rip off for sure, the Chinese never pay good money for something they can get for free. btw: Link to smart car crash test. Smart cars look so bloody unsafe but compare to that chinese car this plastic-panelled-lawn-mower-of-a-car-thing held up really well.
