    The more I think of it I like it more. Btw how are your babes coming?
  2. How about giving me a test drive to give me a better understanding of the prob ? Promise I won't bust the gear box on this one
  3. You are no doubt imagining this one mate, wake up!!!! Although the old 550/575 Maranello did have a hint of the Supra shape.
  4. This is Total PORN. It just needs one more X in the name

    Prad my votes are, 1. What is called Fiat Sprint Blue - Check out 90's Fiat Turbo Coupes' many came in this hue. I think its the Alfa Rosso of Fiat. 2. White - With some subtle red and green striping and a couple of Abarth Scorpions strategically placed. 3. A lurid 70's color like dark orange for that quasi muscle car look.
  6. Nearly booked tickets for Singapore!
  7. I was told it's at Senkadagala Finance. A seized vehicle. This was some time back but worth a check up. Hopefully the engine has not seized as well

    A Raven chick has just hatched......
  10. There are so many cars out there and many of them have not been serviced at the right intervals or by people without any knowledge etc and could be a load of trouble waiting to happen. So be very very choosy. If you can find a Brand new Import with agents maintenance records and one or two owners only then those would be the most attractive IMHO. Or else if you have the patience buy one at a crazy low price and get it into shape by spending some dough. When I say crazy low, I mean LOW. Was offered a D9 HDI G-reg for 12.50 and open for neg. Now that looks like a crazy bargain doesn't it?
  11. It's a matter of preference. When the steering is very light its hard to get any feel and so you are detached from what the car is doing when in motion. Peugeots are generally good drivers cars and so it's only natural that they have weightier steering. At high speed over light steering can be dangerous IMO. You need weight and you need to feel the grip from the tires thru the steering. Then you know when its getting close to its limit. Also can't recall now, but I doubt that the 406 was very heavy for the class..... Need to double check though. We Sri Lankans have been brought up on a diet of Japanese econo-boxes for a long long time. Therefore some of us tend to have these wrong notions. For example the E90 BMW 3 series is one of the lightest cars in its class. Though most of will think that German = Heavy.
  12. They are already running this year, without much success.

    Thanks Don. The bumpers will go. I left them on as she needs all the protection I can give her considering that she now in a garage where mechanics aren't too careful. I have pleaded with them to handle with great care. But as you might know, some of them do not comprehend much. Thinking of a sus kit to improve handling and a set of replica Momo Vega alloys. All very costly business

    My Sexy hot mistress got some fresh air on her smooth skin after a while So many dirty men handling her is the only worry
  15. I use fully Synthetic and I have discovered that 15k is too long for our traffic and driving. I change below 10k Kms.
  16. Never ever though about a Jag mech. Especially for newer cars. The best would be to locate a disgruntled employee from the agents.

    The Italian Car Club is planning to get together and drive together in convoy to watch the races. Anyone with an Italian car is welcome to join the run. Simply show up at the Fiat showroom at 7am on Sunday.
  19. 127 bhp/litre, 9000 rpm, 540 Nm from 4.5 litres. AND 320 g/km of CO2. Some achievement, this is. What is really amazing the torque. More Power can often be obtain with more rpm, but more torque is very difficult to get Typical high perf normal aspirated engines produce about 100Nm/litre so... 540Nm from 4.5L is simply amazing.. Ferrari seems to have taken a giant leap forward with this one.
  20. Incredible. I am dumbstruck by this news! Great news indeed. F1 just got an adrenaline boost. Can hardly wait for 23rd Aug. Would be interesting to see how MS handles the less than perfect current car. I feel bad for Mass though. Isn't he the hardest trying driver?

    Hey how come you come up with stuff like this and Pradi invites you to lunch? :lol:
  22. Love the details and those wheels are the sexiest!
  23. I'm in lurrrrrve
  24. It seems Filipe is ok after the surgery. However his eye is said to have sustained damage. Not sure what effect this will have on the future of his career.
  25. Quite unfair to penalize the driver as well. A hefty fine would be fairer IMO.
