A tricked out Corvette
Nice spot.

[Sud 145]

Some easy-ish ones from today.

[Kegsti66]

I got the GT6 and DS.

[Sud 145]

Two out of five so far.

[Spacenut]

No. 4 is honourable Mitsubishi Starion.

No. 2 is Ford Consul Classic/Ford Classic Capri.

As for No. 5, must be a very odd gearbox interface - FWD perhaps, like a Citroen Light 15/Traction Avant?

[Sud 145]

Oh for goodness sake Lauren.

[Kegsti66]

what a girl eh?

Love the DS.

[Sud 145]

Right getting mean now.

[Spacenut]

Ooh, you are awful! But I like you

Triumph Acclaim/Honda Ballade?

[Sud 145]

I give up. Did you know early Civics also used this bodyshell?

[Kegsti66]

You can see the Japanese influence in the build quality.
They should have been a good car.

I learnt to drive in a Triumph Aclaim driving school car . Brings back memories.

[Kegsti66]

Toyota Starlet for me, the rear wheel drive one.
Started in a 1.0 then they changed it to a 1.3 5speed. Nice to drive in, then it got smashed up just before my test and I had to use a nasty F#*D Fiesta diesel.

I used to love the way Japanese cars aped the styling of American muscle cars - the Datsun 120Y, TA22 Toyota Celica, second generation Honda Civic even (front grille looks just like a 1970 Dodge Challenger). Unfortunately I grew up around BL and Fords, never got to experience the pleasures of the Orient

My mate had a Mitsy Colt Gallant, and it was even called a GTO. He also had the similar shaped Celica with twin lights. Lovely styled cars.

[Sud 145]

Still keep looking for a 180B SSS - must be orange. Do they exist?

[Kegsti66]

Like this?

[Sud 145]

Exactly like that.

Hi all

I've not been in this thread for a while, so i thought i'd come back with a vengeance!



So who can tell me what this beauty is

[Johnboy]

Alfa 33 ? I've got the same

[junior]

As we are going a bit of course here how about this .....

What would it cost to buy this gearbox that I saw today.

Not sure what it is for will have to ask. The price made me forget to ask.

[PETROLHEAD]

I think that's an elderley Xtrac F1 transmission?



and no JB, not a 33, in fact not even Alfa, or Italian!


let me know if you need another clue?

[Johnboy]

German then

[Kegsti66]

2004 Sh#t box BMW 325

[PETROLHEAD]

There is some german design element to it, but not what you'd consider a germanic manufacturer such as bmw, vw etc


Need another clue?

ok,

here's another much more detailed shot of the other side, a right giveaway this time

Looks like the Xtrac 4WD gearbox as used in a lot of super 2000 rally cars like the proton satria. sequential, lovely bit of kit
