I rarely let my tank get under half full, so don't know the range.

However, living out of town, with most of my driving on 100 Km/H country roads, with regular blasts in 3Rd to pass slow farm...

I was lucky enough to have a lady friend who used to loan me her S600 back in the day.

They were incredible, revving to 11000 RPM. Driving it felt very similar to my 1100cc F2 Brabham I was racing...

Coupes are a dime a dozen, & many are quite good cars. We don't need Honda to join the throng.

The only thing I am interested in is a convertible, & I certainly don't want something with those...

Well as I now have found a good aligner I'll answer my own question.

I had to use the car to do an airport run, up the Gold Coast expressway, & the arterial expressway. The car was as twitchy as...

I'm afraid it takes years.

We fitted a new Haltech to the 4.6L Triumph TR8 a couple of years back, when the old one would not let us in to tune it.

We had fitted big injectors, a new ignition system, a new inlet system &...

Wow, there is perhaps some advantage in being a clapped out old fart.

I went back to Shannons after a claim on the TR7. The drivers door was picked up, pulled forward, & jammed into the fender. It...

I hit a kangaroo.

Fortunately I was not the first, or probably in the first few, but I hit a big lump very hard.

South of Logan Village, on some of the lovely new road near the new Yarrabilba...

Sounds like you've had fun. I think you could claim you built the engine, & in fact the car.

You can get sick of it. When I was racing the F2 Brabham Cosworth the Hepolite early forged Y alloy...

I had a couple of very mild dents behind the passengers door. They did give me the impression that they could have been done by an elbow.

The panel beaters who painted my Triumph don't do it, but...

I bought the car just over 3 years ago, with 27.780 on the clock. It had been a 12 month effort to find the car I wanted.

I'm averaging 5000 a year, which is a bit higher than planned. It is hard...

I have a mint, totally stock 2001 yellow/black 43000 kilometer one.

You would have to be rich to get it off me.

Well you didn't have to step back to avoid being trampled in the rush.

I would be prepared to have a look at it for you, all care but no responsibility of course, but only if the owner was...

Where on earth did you get that idea? Nothing could be further from the truth. I presume you are actually talking about oversteer, & not complete rear end breakaway. That is a different horse of...

Well you certainly couldn't complain about that. I spent a bit more than $6K rebuilding to as new, with lots of new parts, my old Triumph TR7 engine.

It is so good now, that with just a little bit...

2001 with 39500 Km, $26000 agreed value, with Shannons, $660.
Budget direct was a little cheaper.

Of course I'm 70, with 3 cars on the same policy, average 4500 Km on each, paying $1470 for the...

I wonder where hawkeye2jz lives.

He, like me has a good deal with Shannons. My $660 appears very good, although I could not get them up to his agreed value, even with only 32000Km on the thing.
...

2001 mint 36000Km, 73 year old only driver with 2 other cars on the policy also only driver, agreed value $26,000 [argued a bit but they would not go higher], $660.

Just were a similar price, but...

No way, but it has reminded me to drive the car, not drift off to fairy land. I'm sure I would have stopped it dead, If I'd had both hands on the wheel, & my mind in gear. That was the lesson I was...

I had to go to town today, 25Km from home on good country main roads. It was a beautiful morning, 27C, about 30% fluffy clouds, taking the edge off the sun, the sort of day just designed for...

Madapo, driving is all about feel, & it is very difficult to put this into words. Sometimes others dont actually hear what we are saying, & sometimes we are actually kidding ourselves, & don't really...

This could be an interesting topic, but to avoid talking at cross purposes, would you please qualify the subject.

I have never experienced lift off oversteer in a rear wheel drive vehicle. This...

I know what you're talking about with the power becoming the norm.

I was lucky enough to have a season driving an F1 Brabham Repco. It was the 2.5L Oz version, with something just over 300BHP, but...

I've done 10,000K in 22 months, from 27,000Km to 37000Km. It will probably be less this year, now I have air conditioning in the TR7, & have it back on the road. Depends a bit on the weather, as I...

Now I'm upset charlie, I feel like I've spoiled your S2k for you. Don't let it be like that, just catch up with you S & you'll love it again.

I raced up to F1 in the days when we still got old F1s...
