Toshack10 Posted May 9, 2014 Share #6343 Posted May 9, 2014 Top marks, Sir! Oddly enough, this one in the Electricity Museum in Lisbon. It was the subject of a couple of very amusing radio shows on the BBC a while back. More in the link BBC News - The Enfield Thunderbolt: An electric car before its time Over to you!

wlaidlaw Posted May 9, 2014 Share #6344 Posted May 9, 2014 Somewhat unkindly, the Enfield was known in the UK as “The Thunderbucket” because it was a pile of shhhh - you know what. It was sent to MIRA to do its safety tests and after failing every single one, the testers refused to continue to drive it after the suspension fell completely off at one corner. Now for your next one, I want not only make and model but the actual car, as it is a very famous one. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted May 9, 2014 Share #6346 Posted May 9, 2014 Datsun 240Z Super Samuri I’d LOVE a Z Wow that was quick. I wondered if I had done too big a crop. This is the ex-Win Percy race car, parked outside Balmoral Castle last week on the Scottish Malts Rally. We all had to put tarpaulins down for even the 30 minutes we were there, in case we sullied the drive with oil spots. Wilson Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted May 9, 2014 Share #6349 Posted May 9, 2014 You could see the MG and Jaguar drivers, very carefully bundling up their oil stained tarpaulins.

stuny Posted May 10, 2014 Share #6352 Posted May 10, 2014 Wilson - Just in case no one got it I was going to show the quad exhaust pipes next, while still obscuring background autos, but silly me -- You got it quickly. Here are two cut-away shots and two "clothed" shots. The particular model is the Z06, a virtually track-ready version of the car. Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted May 10, 2014 Share #6353 Posted May 10, 2014 Stuart, Time someone else had a go - please feel free to post. Those tyres look like they could be interesting on European wet bumpy roads. I had a Jaguar F Type V8S on a morning’s test drive last month (usual thing that a salesman from my local Porsche dealer has defected to a Jaguar dealer and taken his client list with him). Unlike the last time when this happened and I had an Aston Martin Vantage on test, the car did not break down within a few miles. However it spent the whole very wet morning with the traction light flickering on and off. Just too much power for its chassis and you had to tiptoe around in circumstances where in my 4WD Porsche, I would not even be considering how much traction or grip was available.

wlaidlaw Posted May 11, 2014 Share #6356 Posted May 11, 2014 I know what this is but I will let someone else have a go. There were a few of them yesterday plus a whole lot of other models from this manufacturer at a lunch outing at the Bastide Hotel in our village. It was a bit like an alien invasion.

Andreas, It was the Bastide at Tourtour. This is a favourite venue for car outings, as it is a good hotel (if not quite of the standard of the Bastide at St Paul) with stunning views and good food, as long as the chef is having one of his sober days. It is also a great road up to Tourtour which is at around 800 meters altitude. Wilson 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted May 13, 2014 Share #6360 Posted May 13, 2014 Nobody (other than the usual suspects) wants to give it a try - it is nothing unusual, just saw a video on Top Gear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
