The Best ///M/Barge/General Rant/Look at This/O/T [Vol VIII]

[V8mate]

Belle couleur! And with the steering wheel suitably located for trans-European hoonage!

[Output Flange]

This looks like a slice of awesome:



450bhp, just over a tonne. And the most ridiculous wing.

[DJRC]

Its gone from 15 degrees C yesterday to trying to bloody snow today!

[E30M3SE]

115,000 Euro's................

Chaps, just watched last night's TG on iPlayer. Watching Stig drift that Moggy 3-Wheeler around the track, along with the Meteor engined Bentley was some of the most chucklesome TV I've had the pleasure of watching in ages!




Easily the most tweed-esque TG episode I've ever seen. Loon, if you haven't seen it give it a watch on iPlayer, that way you can ignore all the other crap bits.

[Trommel]

Very impressed that both the aero-engined cars did a proper lap.

Are they allowed on trackdays? Or would you have to go on a bike trackday? Could be interesting...!

Interesting question. Could be facing the same problem they did 80 years ago!

It's taxed and classified license-wise as a car, therefore should be allowed on track days fine.

I so want one, £30k doesn't seem like much for so much cool.

I really like Morgan but at £30k for something new, I'd be looking at an Elise.

I don't think the Morgan is a car you choose with you head. If I had £30k spare for a toy I'd struggle to ignore the way that even when parked with the engine off the 3-wheeler makes me grin like a small child at christmas.

I can't see it being an issue on trackdays, it's no more 'open-wheeled' than a Caterham.

Will be watching it this evening, looking forward to it.

First batch of muffins in the oven.

Kitchen technician rather then vehicle technician today

Nope. Two batches - banana with belgian dark choc chips and banana with walnuts. Both in wholemeal muffiny goodness.

Banana? In both? What were you thinking man?

The German car would've benefited greatly from the addition of an extra set of wheels.
What a mad mad thing.

Today I am mostly wanting an XJC, just like this: ::linky::

(needs sound)

[S3_Graham]

Crook,

How's your E36 M fairing? Costs wise etc.

House should complete next week and when the dust settles I'll be looking for One. The civic is a great motorway car but it's just not got that special feeling or different enough for me.

And with very good reason.
I however favour this:
