World famous in New Zealand.

Anyway car chat.. 

The steering wheel on that Veloster thingy was very old-school Japanese.

New World famous then

Rob, have you thought about putting a link to Auto Clique in your sig?

Great idea!

Great idea!

oooh that's cool

Hopefully Colin's okay with linking to another car site. It's not in competition with Brisky so should be good

it looks very professional. Bet if you make a reference to Brisky in a review, Col will be chuffed

 

I can be your overseas correspondent who checks if a car is suitable for George Clooney. A very important and under researched subject

I spun the Harley version of the Lightning outside the Dealership (not totally my fault.......cough cough) This is the very vehicle

 

 

How long ago was this?

I remember the front on Deansgate, it moved around the back and has gone bust now hasn't it?

That was taken around 10-11 years ago I think. They lost the Harley dealership first (no idea why because they made good profit and had good customer feedback). Then they lost the front showroom as the Manchester council wanted more money, it was prime real estate after all. Then they moved around the back, but by then they had taken up the Alfa dealership and the rest is history. They went bust :( They did own the car park next door too. The one you could access by driving through the showroom effectively

So this looks like a routine Speeding pillock in an Evoque

 

 

Which turns out to be an incredible endorsement for the strength and safety of the baby Range Rover!!

So THAT is how they got the squashed roof look then!

That's brilliant! Did he measure up before he bought it?

I think so! He's wanted one for ages and I think this came up at the right time/price etc

 

He's also got a LWB flatbed Transit plus the OH's Audi TT so it's going to be a squeeze on the drive.

To get nerdy that is not really a "ute"..................a "Ute" is generally an Australian car based pick-up............that is a "double" or king-cab pick-up which is not car based.............

 

& having lived in the USA those don't look so big over there as everything is supersized...................

Jason Statham impresses me with his high kicks. He trained originally as a dancer apparently.

 

What do you make of this?

Fascinating I thought:

 

 

There looks to be a strong resemblance to hydraulic pump design.

That's old hat,   how about variable compression ratio.

That was exactly what I was thinking when I saw it in that it resembled an axial piston pump used in hydraulics in terms of its design. That said I am all for pushing th design envelope and thinking out of the box.
