They only use the indy circuit, so Brands Hatch booked this lot to come down and do driving tasters on the GP section. £25 quid for 8 minutes driving, money well spent in my book! Probably something I'll never get to do again! Apparently the truck was originally owned by Burt Reynolds, for transporting his Nascar team "Mach 1 Racing". Got imported to the UK a few years ago and basically lives live as a showtruck now. The importer didn't know its history until it had already got here, they didn't buy it because of the Hollywood connection. Just lucky! It's a 1986 Kenworth W900B with a 14 litre CAT lump chugging out 500bhp, and a gearbox with more ratios than you can shake a (gear)stick at. Boyhood dream = fulfilled! A workmates was there and if I hadn't bee looking at a 3 hour drive Monday morning I would have been too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Just asked a mate what he thought of the new rear spoiler, he had just walked passed the back of the car... He went and had a proper look and declared ; 'No wonder I didn't notice, looks like it's always been there!' So I declare that to be a 'good' thing. Not bad for £88 delivered from Taiwan and correctly painted in the right colour. The genuine AMG version is £300 odd plus anothe ton for painting it. richardmorris and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Speed Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Minor grin for me - took the Barcelona Banger Saab 900 in for an MOT which resulted in not a single advisory!

I'd like to see how well it works when the voltage is below 10v. Plus if 9 is min, 19 is max then how is 14 middle? What value does that make each marker on it signify?

cobblers Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 And if it's 19v, does it do a countdown til the battery explodes and every ECU on the vehicle goes on fire as well? beko1987, myglaren, SiC and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 You know the next time someone says Gumtree 'buyers' are all idiots, well some of the sellers are just plain weird, too. Spend a day or two trying to view a motorbike from a bloke who won't give out his 'phone number or address and thinks I'm someone I'm not. No amount of reasoning is working, he won't send other pictures and keeps saying he wants the potential buyers 'phone numbers and that Gumtree is full of idiots .

Bobthebeard Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Having recently tried to half heartedly sell the BRG Rover 75 2.5 Connoisseur SE on here for the simple reason that the MOT had expired, it had not been used at all since the last MOT (stored at home) due to various reasons. (Too many cars, work, etc) Decided I wanted it back on the road, well, Mrs Beard decided she wanted it back as it is the only car EVER that she actually loved driving and owning. Put a new battery in, checked the fluid levels and it started first time, although the exhaust fumes ponged a bit as the pez was over a year old. Passed the MOT with only advisories about greased brake pipes! Result. Glad I didn't sell it now. Been wafting around in it and kicking myself for leaving it so long in storage. These are really lovely things in the right spec and condition. Assuming it doesn't now FTP or shit itself somehow! Pic is a couple of years old but it looks the same, apart from a change of registration number. paulplom, Cavcraft, Springer and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those cars people don't seem to "get" until they've owned one. I'm on my 5th at the moment and no doubt there will be more.
