    Why?

    My only issue was with them trying to open the doors, which is tricky on a GTB, and closing the bonnet and boot, which is also tricky. Saw them trying to force the bonnet shut!! scary. 355, no problems at all. it's a bit more 'normal'

    I believe what you say here.

    But simply cannot believe it.

    You let the Car Wash Wallah's drive the Stradale' ?

    As this is now a matter of record, I hope you appreciate this means immediate notification to FCA Sonny Jim !!

    Interesting car. Looks like a cross between a 911 (rear) and a Dino (front).

    Correct, as usual.

    Only 50-ish built, essentially an F2 car with a body. The rear suspension mounts onto the transaxle just like an open wheeler. The "chassis" is nothing more than a central steel monocoque tube, clearly copied from a Lotus Elan. Very light and quite quick, especially with a Lotus twin cam fitted.

    nothing like a 911, the engine is midships, like a real racing car, not hung out behind the axle line like a Phat Aussie worker's buggy. :D

    You mean the links to a public for-sale site?

    I didn't post the original but how is this against site TOS when common practice?

    edit: explanation given.. thanks.. carry on as you were gentlemen.

    There is a reason.
    I was contacted by the vendor of the car in question,and gave my blessing for my part of the adds to be taken off.
    As for the remainder of the post's pertaining to this car,I can't comment,I guess the same thing occured.

    Since when was it against the rules to post a link to a car for sale??? So from now on we can't link to carslaes.com.au or any other site???? You are setting a very bad precedent here IMO.
