There's pretty then.

When I was involved in Rallying our chase car was an Alfa Giulietta with the
running gear from an ex-works Autodelta GTV. It was quite quick and handled
rather well[1]. The Autodelta shell was still up the driveway of the guy who
owned and drove the Giulietta about 2 years ago.

We eventually binned the 2.0 out of it and fitted a V6, went much better
then.

Obsession does funny things to people...

No, I want it for my armpits.

 

Kin hell, do all taffies park like that?

 

No, it really is a POS Steve. It's like saying my Notrun is a classic.
Way too much suspension of disbelief is required.

Wow.

 

I'm sure he subscribes to a load of poxy car groups and claims he's an
expert on bikes.

 

Is it a track car or is it a road car? Just because a car handles well
on a twisty road it doesn't follow that it will be any good on a
track. Go and find out which the pos is supposed to be good at then
come back and tell us.

You've just reminded me why I love riding bikes and find cars boring.

 

About the same as that awesome track tool, the GoldWing, then?

"Pimp My Crapri"!

 

I'm sure I must be due a MIBOB number by now. I've got black leathers,
boots, gloves & helmet plus two black bikes (soon to be three when I
spray Pinkie). What else do I have to do - an inverse Michael Jackson?

That she is.

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Krusty belched forth and ejected the following:

Actually, for what it is, yes. It doesn't stay put for long either and
needs re-applying to keep the effect.

What you want is Hammerite with coal dust in it.

Come to think of it...

Gertrude is about the same ratio: 66bhp and 330 Kg.

Now that puts it into perspective!

 

Once upon a time, Laura had a clinical need for a Maserati A6 G54 Zagato:

Not any more - the Maser is chucked. Now she must have an Arnolt Bristol
Bolide. Fucknose how she'll get insurance...

I always thought proper Zagatos had 'helmet' bumps in the roof. Maybe I
was wrong.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's weird.
