Martin Keene Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Having been out in it, I can understand why it doesn't stay with one person for long. If ever a car was for the track only, then this is it... Mad, mad car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Not sure about that. I mean, the throttle has more than 2 positions, and if you want to resist the urge to drive flat out everywhere, then just run on 1 engine. Unless it has stupidly low ground clearance, then what other issues make it "track only" when compared to a more run of the mill BEC, cage notwithstanding...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Not for the Tokyo taxi driver then - throttle like an ON- OFF switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to do with transmission noise and general NVH. The combination of the two bike gearboxes and the transfer box makes it a *very* noisey place to be... If your thinking it can't be much louder than a normal straight cut, trust me it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dern Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I bet some potential buyer sends him an email asking if it can be converted back to a full screen so they can take their wife on a picnic in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say as it has 8 cylinders although not in a V , it should qualify for the tartan rug calling Barry to confirm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dern Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 If I may be so indiscrete how much do you think it'll go for? It looks from the pictures to be a stunning car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can normally get a very exclusive tourer pack at your local petrol station consisting of a luxury rubber back rug and a stainless steel vacuum flask which, at a fiver, is a worthwhile investment imo.
