We can always call on the big rosso if you cant! but i dont think the defender is a good idea... for that drive you really need something low and sporting.

Yo, harshan... your turn machan.

yerse... it is indeed an ambassador! Your turn..

hehe... welllll... it IS sorta a classic... but not in the conventional sense

Do you imagine every other car owner in the country has the same degree of car obsession as you or I? most people dont remember when they last had their car serviced, forget keeping service records! @ rez, 10.5 is an ok price, try and get it a little lower about 10.25 or 10 even...

not even in the same ballpark!

D_z requested that i put the next one up, so here goes..

Thanks machan, only borrowed the idea from elsewhere, but let see how it goes!

Part 2 of Autoblog's intro to Karting... Useful info there methinks.. http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/09/introdu...karting-part-2/

Should have barred you from answering! in any case, Sti B4 got it right slightly afterwards so no harm done... @ Miniace, yes indeed rules are like trivia... winner gets the posting priviledge and we'll stick to locally available cars as far as we can.. Devinda can go ahead..

damn! Sounds like someone has put some serious thought into how to do that! whoever said that really should do what Elvis said and go to instruct F1 drivers! Incidentally, IMO if someone were to attempt hammering down the straight and taking that corner at the speeds you mention (whilst avoiding those bumps) they would have a lot of explaining to do the members of the services who tend to hang around in that area! Hopefully, they wont shoot first and ask questions later! Personally, advocating that sort of buffoonery in a public forum is not very adviseable.

nope... its a Euro though...

A Zen. with a bodykit.

Somewhere around 950k to 1.1 million is about the going rate for the early FB14's depending on condition and number etc... what's the number of the car you looked at? by the way, if you are expecting it to do 15 to the liter you are going to be sorely disappointed mate, average for a FB14 should be around about 9 or 10 in the city with maybe 12-14 long distance if you drive carefully... So dont go after this car based on the owner's testimony.. he IS trying to sell you the car after all!

Although there arent specific rules on this thread, general courtesy dictates that you wait for the floor to be thrown open to all before adding something.

yep, not only that its the sporty alfasud Ti!! this car which is in SL and has an interesting history was previously languishing in a "collection", which had more in common with a junkyard! thankfully though this story unlike many such tales has a happy ending and it now is the pride and joy of our very own CHAP, who is bringing her back to better than her former glory! Floor is yours Ace. PLEASE do post something

Borrowing an idea from one of the popular american car blogs, Jalopnik... Much like trivia, only the picture is of an engine bay, answers have to guess the what the engine/car is. Lets see how this one goes.

what is this? Tell us more...

How come nobody posted? Trivia dropping off the radar? Well then, here's something... have a stab.

Huge Cache Of Mustangs Can Be Yours For $700,000 Yet again, those americans have it too damn good!! http://jalopnik.com/5377160/huge-cache-of-...ours-for-700000

Pugs of that generation are amusing drives anyway and the 406 actually had a form of passive rear wheel steer system thanks to the complex multi-link arrangement. They do have a tendency to be a little bit tail happy if you push it, so slightly wider rubber back there wouldnt hurt...

Really? you didnt know? that was the result of lotus trying to re-invent the wheel so to speak in the late 80's (when else?) and deciding that conventional sports car wisdom was all wrong and that the layout of hot hatches was the way to go... transverse FWD in a roadster.... Unfortunately though it was a nice idea they launched it just about slightly after mazda decided to try it's hand at making a modernized copy of the original RWD elan, and we all know how that story went! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Elan#1990s_Elan there ya go, wiki is your friend as always.

Oh incidentally.... found this on autoblog... their opinion on the type of kart we see at the drome isnt all that flattering lol http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/05/introdu...karting-part-1/

oh come come now dont be so blinkered... america's a decent country, it just has some nutjobs in it like everywhere else, only trouble is, because its AMERICA, them nutjobs are LOUD! Z is certainly making up for his long absence isnt he?
