Why trade down?

 

......and where it was supposed to go..Miscellaneous!

 

Saw one of these in Brisbane many years ago for $46k and thought it was over-priced then ..... looked pretty though

 

I don't think they'd reach such dizzy heights as "rubbish"

 

Did you siphon his tank again ?

 

Here here

 

A should have bought that 911E for $9k too

 

And a lime green Urraco for $8k in Sydney circa 20 years ago ..... all coulda shoulda moments in life ........ shoulda coulda moments with women turn out to be more expensive

Anyway, what else are you gunna BS about in the old people's home ?

 

I saw a lime green Uracco for sale 3 months ago, can’t be that many out there

 

They're as slow as a wet weak, GT4 will do it easily

 

The 2.5, maybe, but not the 3 litre

 

They look otherworldly, I could look at one until the tyres went flat

 

are you signing up as Moretti & Adrian's fact checker?

You might be here for a while

btw Uracco P300 0-100 6.1 seconds; 308GT4 6.4 seconds

 

That's what Moretti does - well, at least almost flat

 

Why would you let facts get in the way of a good story Ian?...This is Aussie Fchat....

 

That's right Gary, this is like the US election, facts ? We don't need no steenkin fax

 

Yeah apparently Trump reckons Tony Fauci is an disaster,perhaps he's been injecting again.....

 

Indeed, spot the owner with this video.

I’m going play dangerously and say that almost every comment James May made in his video was spot on.

Now that doesn’t mean a 308 rubbish at all. To contrary, you can agree 100% to what James is saying and still think a 308 is a brilliant. They are not mutually exclusive.

I’m fortunate that I get to drive a lot moderns, particularly the German brands. They are objectively better in every way to a ‘classic’ but despite this, I still prefer my classic cars. It’s a subjective thing and as I like to say, if I had to explain it, you just wouldn’t understand.

What I found interesting is that James replaced the 308 with an Alpine A110.

Has anyone here driven an Alpine?

When you drive an Alpine, it makes perfect sense why James replaced the 308 with this car, because if there’s a car that replicates what a modern 308 should be, the A110 is it.

A 308 was famous for its all-round balance – power, packaging, steering, handling and braking all worked in perfect harmony.

When an AMOC club member invited me to drive his A110, the first thing I thought of was my 308. The size, the feel of the handling, the response – it felt like my 308 – but more modern. You can understand why A110s are so highly rated in Europe and get compared to supercars costing 3 – 4 time more.

I’d prefer the DB R1 on the passenger side floor....

 

Close. DBR2 Tribute car - the owner of the Alpine built a magnificent DBR2 replica, which I wrote a 16 page feature for the cub magazine, much to chagrin of a few club members due to the fact I devoted too much of the mag to the car and not enough on club runs. Humbug to that!

Surprisingly, the replica even won the '***** Galore Trophy', presented to the car that the female members consider their favourite on the day of the concours.

As with all replicas, no matter how good they are, worth nominal financial value. In fact, any value is only intrinsically attached to the builder and the story behind it.

 

Blue ones always look gooder:

I reckon I'd have one over the 308. I think most people would, hence the prices.

 

They're a bit slow compared to a 308.

Look prettier though.

 

I never use the performance of the 308....I doubt I'd notice.
