i`ll give you that Hodge me old fruit, very nice indeed,but still dream of my old fire breathing 2.2 ltr 340bhp (went in divorce settlement) car
and the ones that went through Keilder in the dark, heavy snow
on full chat
 
The sound of a 5cyl Audi was fantastic, I worked for a while in garage where all the techs had tuned Coupés or Quattros. The noise at the end of the day was like a rally starting.
The little 3cyls used these days have a similar off beat gruff engine note.

The family business (which I was only very briefly a part of ) was based at The Comb and in between stages of the old R.A.C.rally ..as such we got into non spectator parts of the forest to watch those fire breathing monsters fly through..some sight (& sound )..?

Yep ..you are right ..at the other end of the scale we also have a DS3..1.2 3 pot with a turbo ..Great engine noise inside the cab and while not particularly quick it thinks its a baby Ferrari ..?

I like the 3.0L 6-pot Fire and Brimstone (aka Diesel) motors. They don’t sound as glorious as petrol, but they do growl while mercilessly ripping tar!
 
pic of the wife doing a drop in.....well part of her front tyre ?
not many pics as had much fun riding swinley today nice to not have to spend a hour washing the bikes down for a change...must have done at least 10 calories on the cheat bike so treated myself to a cold one?

That is very nice but the door gap don’t look right, is it a shut and cut. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

It's an estate car, not a lorry. There's no space to close the door properly even just with one days photo albums on board.

(it does look like a sweet ride though).

Nippy too .. almost as fast as itchy (camera) trigger finger ..

 
Very quick Zimmsy ..?
I had to look up what a cut & shut was ..but can confirm the only welds are original ..
I think the door was left open while I was taking pics of a nice sunset and drinking red wine .. the missus was driving at the time ( alco free)..had left the keys in the car and didn't want to accidently lock us out ..
Edit : Mine is not the bi-turbo..only 272hp..but quick enough for me ..still gets to 60 in a little over 5 seconds..and is limited to 155mph ..

Many years ago .. when I was young and only fell off motorcycles going much much faster than I fall off mountain bikes and only ever broke a toe..

Some friends were offered a Group B Short wheel base Audi S1 . It was a development car with 800hp and in financial terms was being given away as they scrapped Group B so it was also - scrap ! .. They didn't buy it .. I bet they still kick themselves .. though in fairness you'd have to be 1% of the 1% to probably not die driving it.
