Burpspeed - From The beginning

[barny]

he drove it to Surrey. I thought someone was gonna get stabbed

Whats wrong with Surrey, im from there and ive not been stabbed yet.
ok so a few of my friends have been but thats what happens when you get involved with pikeys! lol

Sad to see it like this, my 2.0 ka died the same way... i binned the perfectly fine zetec ready for a zt then got fed up and broke it.

I miss it now, rebuild it and keep it!

 

[JR]

Break it for the parts, should make a bit

 

[Nafoff]

RIP burpspeed

 

[Aluco]

Why don't you put it back together (Mines the bits you cut off)

 

[Greeny.]

Thats a very sad pic, this was one of my favourite cars on here

This is exactly the reason why I havnt stripped mine as much as burp's though as it would just piss me off on day to day driving, best of both worlds semi stripping imo and im still at a ton, so happy with that.

I think he was refering to the mood i was in by the time i arrived after 2 hours in the s**t heap.

 

[Jay Payne]

Taking the Proton out for a long run the weekend, so looking forward to it

 

[bomber]

mmmmm plush comfort

 

[Jay Payne]

Only having 3 parking spaces at home has ment that the LOton has been kept out on the main road. Not ideal. So the clio had to go.


I used the wifes Peugeot (Snail powered edition) to drag it off the drive.

It was then winched onto the waiting trailer. Good job its not got a splitter anymore or it wouldnt of gone on with the bumper attatched...

Alll strapped down and ready for the off

Bye Bye Burpspeed Track car, enjoy your new home..........

Good riddance :dead:

 

[Daniel]

Good riddance?!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Your not parking that Proton on my drive.

 

[Aluco]

Can I have your headlights? I scratched mine with 80grit I'll give you a tenner

 

[Djw John]

I'm just not buying it mate, I'm expecting something major is happening over winter and its gonna be back in spring with trumpets or forced induction.

Also, surely your orange taxi would've been better for dragging it out of the driveway?!

 

[JR]

Being sucked in FTL.

Haha

LOTON Update!!!!



Well after approx 100 miles driving this weekend I can now give a proper verdict on the new Burpspeed motor.


Brilliant!

I arrived at my destination feeling ready to go and not deaf or aching. I took a steady cruise up the motorway and had the Blaupunkt kicking out Radio 1 at a nice volume and I could actually hear it. On the way home I went via the A/B roads including a section of my favorite.

The Handling:

On my favorite B road the supple suspension delt with the bumps superbly. Both me and my cargo were untroubled by the various pot holes and broken surfaces. Altho the turn in isnt as crisp as the Clio was, requiring a slighlty different technique to negotiate the corners.

The only fault I can find in the 'Driving Experience' is cold feet. The heater has jammed itself on one postion but I know ho to fix this and will do so within the coming weeks.

Very, very pleased with it

:S What to make it left hand drive?


The proton is my future

Nice to know that jay has given Tony something to keep himself busy over the winter.

As Justin says, the car is at Tonys so he can strip the rest of it over the winter

 

[Tony Hunter]

Cheers for that.

 

[Ryair]

Jeez I go on holiday for 2 weeks and stuff like this happens!

Shame to see the car looking so sorry for it's self. I'm officially in mourning!

 

[theduck]

Cant believe it
