Rona!d Posted September 12, 2012 Share #4103 Posted September 12, 2012 The UK equivalent of Gumpert, Caparo, went last week as well. Not a good week for mad cars. Luckily Ariel, Radical and Extreme seem to be doing well. Wilson So did Melkus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted September 12, 2012 Share #4104 Posted September 12, 2012 So did Melkus. Hadn't been in effect dead since the mid-1980's? How fast did a tuned Wartburg 3 cylinder two stroke engine make it go anyway? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted September 13, 2012 Share #4111 Posted September 13, 2012 looks nice The problem for all these little manufacturers is the Boxster and Cayman. I recall talking to the late Peter Wheeler of TVR in about 2007 at Goodwood. He said he was very glad to have sold TVR, as he just could not see a way to compete with the above cars. Three years ago I drove a new supercharged Elise from Nice to the Nurburgring, so we could use it to re-familiarise ourselves with the circuit before the Old Timer GP Marathon. One of the other drivers had brought a basic Cayman, which was about the same price as the Elise. The Cayman was massively nicer to drive round the Ring and was much closer in handling to the Porsche 904/6, we were driving in the Marathon. In contrast to the Elise, it was also properly screwed together. The Elise was appallingly badly made, with a quite horrible gearchange. Porsche really is the elephant in the room for these small manufacturers and it is only going to get worse, if they and VW go ahead with the Eco-Racer. The Jaguar F Type is going to have to be terribly good, if it is going to take away sales from Porsche, as I don't see many new sales being created in this category. I personally think Jaguar would have been much wiser to have put their development efforts into a 3 series/C Class/A3 competitor, as that is where the sales are. The CX75, whilst a wonderful looking car, is a total distraction. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CX75, whilst a wonderful looking car, is a total distraction. Wilson I could not agree more. Every Elise I have ridden in seems no better screwed-together than my old Elans, some rather less-well too! I dithered over a Boxster as my daily driver, could not find much wrong apart from one scary moment when it decided that it was a 1973 911RS, probably a combination of over-confidence, wet road and diesel spillage. I tried the Audi TT RS but it was too extreme, settled for a TT quattro diesel, with all the fancy options- fast enough for me, 48mpg, roof folds in seconds, no smells of fibre-glass or glue; wife happy! Glad to see that this thread is still ticking along; no ideas now what that muscle car is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted September 13, 2012 Share #4113 Posted September 13, 2012 The problem for all these little manufacturers is the Boxster and Cayman. I had an "unlimited" works Boxster S Chrono for a weekend and must agree, those little cars (especially the stiffer Cayman) are the ones to beat and this is a pretty hard nut. I tried the Audi TT RS but it was too extreme, settled for a TT quattro diesel, with all the fancy options- fast enough for me, 48mpg, roof folds in seconds, no smells of fibre-glass or glue; wife happy! A diesel roadster? NEVER I´d even think of it (although I don´t have any complains against diesels in general). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see that this thread is still ticking along; no ideas now what that muscle car is. the TT-RS is a phenomenal car....but yes, it is loud and brash with that beautiful 5 cylinder turbo------perfect for a true Audi! i have a MK1 TT 225 coupe and have had it for 9 years. It is still as beautiful as when i got it. amazing you guys even get a "TT quattro diesel"....something which is basically unobtainable for us here in the US! enjoy it!

elansprint72 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share #4120 Posted September 13, 2012 Is it a Chevelle SS? I know nothing about US cars at all but my wife's hairdresser one owned a 7-litre(?) Chevelle, which made a lot of noise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
