Looks mad!

Gotta be way less than Caparo which seems to break down every review I've seen or read lol.

Wonder how compares price/performance with locally delivered Radicals?

 

Supercharged Duratech should be similar to Formula 3 performance at least.
Would be a good choice if living in the UK I'd think. Caterham are likely to put a series together for them there.

 

Yes a one-make series good idea from manufacturer for support, loyalty, sales etc.. viable UK but prob not here?.. engine sounds the goods then!

 

166,000 pound. That's $270k aussie, something doesn't add up.

 

I dont understand what you mean.

 

It's a Cavallino badge on the front guard of the Papmobile(aftermarket of course).

Mine has magnetic cavallino badges on each guard (tacky or nice - beauty is in the eye of the beholder). It's a bit like putting a leaping cat on the bonnet of a later model Jag.

Can't see any crap on Pap's windows ?

 

Thanks for clearing that up mate!

 

I've seen the tv advert before, but not this version.

Never get tired of watching that!

 

did my usual loop and have to agree Gil, it's as slow as you can get today

I did like the following though :

1. the sound
2. the steering
3. the braking (after the pads warmed up)

I didn't like the following :

1. the acceleration
2. the 4wd sh!tboxes that can't or don't want to, see you
3. the thumping over rough roads
4. the idiots yelling out to you

So that's it, the negatives outweigh the positives, time to sell the HOS and go buy a KIA

 

I did our Adelaide Hills loop today - not exactly but pretty close. That's my usual loop. Strangely, it hasn't put me in the mood for a KIA.

The only vehicle slowing my progress was a crane retrieving a Hilux that had fallen a long way down off the Montacute ridge.

 

Errrr, hopefully no one was in it?

 

Show off.

I'm just jealous, to have those roads so close, almost as good as the Dandenongs.

 

fab roads

 

nah thats crap......this is much better , even tho its fake

I have a set of winding roads on my loop that are perfectly cambered for slingshoting the car from bend to bend, Troy lets out a yeehaa everytime we do it

It's a lot of fun since I did the springs the same as Gleggy's car

 

Hehe, cool!

 

I want to put new springs in the 308.

 

do you want the spring rates that Murray sent me ?

they are about 20% stiffer than the original rates
