wlaidlaw Posted July 12, 2024 Share #22207  Posted July 12, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Dunk, I thought all the pre war cars had bolt on wire wheels. I very briefly, had a 1939 Rover 16 sports saloon. It used almost as much oil as petrol. I could not get the alloy head off. It had welded itself to the steel studs. I left it hanging from the head for three days with no success. It went to the scrap yard. I really liked the freewheel. Give it to IDT as I have nothing to post. Wilson  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't until after I congratulated myself on posting this car that surely no one could possibly guess, that I recalled you mentioning a test drive in a Hennessey which seems to have left a sour taste due to some unpredictable and dangerous handling quirks. No wonder, when one takes a Lotus Exige and burdens it with a GM 7-liter V8 making well over 1000 hp, all for the sake of being able to call it the world's fastest car. It did set a top speed approx. 2 miles an hour faster than a Bugati Veyron, but obviously lacks pretty much every characteristic of an even remotely usable & practical road car. The Hennessey people at the venue where I photographed this beast were awfully proud that they had orders and deposits for 29 of the things. I guess it's anyone's turn.

wlaidlaw Posted July 13, 2024 Share #22217  Posted July 13, 2024 I drove a supercharged 2 litre Toyota Lotus Elise from St Tropez to the Nurburgring and did some laps in it. Compared with the car I was driving at the time, a Porsche 997 Turbo S Exclusive Edition (Monaco Motorshow car) with 550 BHP engine and special colour of metallic burgundy and tan Italian leather interior, I thought the Lotus was horrible. It had over a half inch gap between the tops of the windows and the clip in reinforcing bars that support the roof, so that at high speed the wind noise level was deafening and in the rain, you got soaked. At anything over 140MPH on the Autobahns, it became aerodynamically unstable and was very twitchy. It was far too soggy for circuit use and wallowed all over the place. You never knew which end was going to slide first. Colin Chapman would never have signed off on a car that handled like that. Anyone who drove it that day, disliked it. We ended up using our race car, a Porsche 904/6 GT (Originally one of the 2 factory 904/8 GT cars) to do the re-familiarisation laps of the Nurburgring, as we felt we were learning nothing in the Lotus, which was the purpose of taking it up to the Ring. Open to all as usual. Wilson 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
