good old AI
The wheelbase of the Ford Escort RS Cosworth is 2552mm. This dimension comes from the use of a shortened Sapphire 4x4 floorpan to accommodate its longitudinal engine and four-wheel drive system.
Sierra was 2608mm
Exactly this. The Bugatti isn’t a depreciating asset, plus if he had the €6 million in the bank to buy it outright, it makes far more sense to buy it on (hopefully) low rate finance then invest his money.
He ‘appears’ to be successful at what he does so is make far more sense for him to invest...
My brother has just spotted this traveling north of Calgary 😂
No point in having tax or mot over there 😂
(Well other than it probably voiding any UK insurance)
thanks. I stuck a new battery on it and it fired up, which I wasn't expecting.
Even after the new battery was in there was still some strange goings on with the electrics (windows and the boot lock) but I managed to sort them. Hopefully it's sorted now.
The old battery was eight years old but...
just been directed to this 18 year old thread by google (Yay CS)
my mother has a 07 plate MK3 clio 1.2 Rip Curl and today after she got it out of the garage it wouldn't re-start. So she rings Norman (I was was expecting it just to be a flat battery).
When I get there a can hear a relay...
It's the CC850
I've just read this below, it has nine gears but only uses six, and the six ratios you have to use change depending which mode your in.
No flywheel and no clutch as such. Still not sure how it works...
never watch top gear YT stuff but this is a decent watch. All the bosses drive the other guys cars.
What's the crack with the gearbox on the koenigsegg?
the one I saw was a MDA version. I'm sure they were from Devon.
I remember really being into kit cars when I was about 14/15. So glad I grew out of it, I'd probably be a 50 year old virgin with a collection of s**t half built cars if I hadn't.
so they were.
Apparently it was done to place the driver on the inside of the corner at Le Mans (which had predominantly right hand corners back then).
Learn something new everyday. I thought they'd mostly be LHD.
Saw this on the M1 near Sheffield earlier
Looked and smelled genuine (albeit it was rhd), a quick google shows it to be a replica
Looked good though and had just the right amount of patina on it
Yeah we didn’t leave until 10:30 and joined the queue at 11:20
Didn’t some nice stuff leaving while we were queuing but inside I bet there were probably less than 20% 90’s and 00’s cars
I never usually go on a bank holiday and now I know why
Took an hour and 20 to get in after joining the back of the queue, and there were hardly any 90’s or 00’s cars in there.
A normal Sunday or Wednesday evening is miles better
Anyone going tomorrow (90’s and 00’s again)
I’m planning on going up with my lad but not sure what time yet
I can see traffic being busy as the roads will be full of teenagers on their way home from Leeds festival
Adam c is definitely a lunchtime fodder YouTuber (10 minutes of car related shite to have on while I’m demolishing my lastest sandwich based creation).
I’ve never been to Ford fair but did go to one of the big RS owners club meets at Silverstone about 20 years ago. That read a decent day out...
