My Way To Deal With Ptsd

[Ned]

Sunbeam?, do you mean like the Alpine, with a 4 speed trans and a 283cu engine? Think that's the one. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

Same firm, 20 years on
This is the full-on mad bastard 2l Talbot Sunbeam Lotus works car, a world-cup winner:

This is the standard factory 1600TI, many shared components and a good Group A rally car:

This is the cockpit of a Group A car like mine:

The black& white photo above is my 1600TI in warpaint.

Just saw your post, Dan. Please see above..............:)

That thing has the wheel on the wrong side. Unless your looking to deliver the mail with it?
Seriously, it looks like it could have been a bit of fun.

It was. Scared myself shitless a few times, never won much, had a lot of fun and got that need-for-speed demon out of my system.

........... roadrunner, Camaro, Chevelle, dart ,galaxy 500,57 chevy, 32 roadster, remember those guys? REAL cars with real fun?..........

Yeah US Muscle is fun in a straight line and sound good but I never seen one of them complete a Rally. These things have done though. :p

Your gonna have to try harder than that Dan :D

[Ned]

I'd forgotten what a mean-looking bastard the Mk1 Escort was!

 

[reddevil1111]

Plenty more where that came from. Next patient please? Send me someone else with industrial disease.

WHAT YOU RACE ON CURVY TRACKS THAT GO LEFT ASWELL AS RIGHT :D

But still no dirt tracks :p

 

[Ned]

What a surprise. We are all petrol-heads. Actually I like big diesels too. Like Sulzers.

 

[reddevil1111]

Like that Ned?

Now that's dirt racing. Am I right or am I right Angle? lol

Let's see...owned...TR3, 2 Triumph TR4s (one IRS other IRS with a targa top), Austin Healey 100-6, Sprite (Ugh!), an MGB and my current love, an Austin Healey 3000 MK II. There was an abandoned part of the Autobahn behind the base where they would have gymkanas when weather permitted. The Coopers took home the prize every time. And believe it or not an old Beetle with a Porche engine was always a close second.

What a great thrill to just stroll down to the local cobblestone street an watch a cross country. Exotic cars zipping by at 100 per, exhaust screaming. Tons of fun and a German occasionally for a hood ornament.

Motorhead? Me? No!!!!!

Gotta' say I always love how the 'Wanker' threads spin off into another dimension. :ROFLMAO:

On that note; '68 Camero Z-28, big block, big wheels, no not 'big wheel', gotta' say loved that car.

How f*cked do we get when a banned post turns into a petrol head post.
