Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

[buickgnx88]

The Karman Ghia has crazy camber because it's missing it's engine, I've seen enough VW's to know this. The rear swing-arm suspension keeps the wheels vertical if there's the weight of an engine back there (and if it isn't lowered), otherwise the rear lifts up and gives you the effect you saw there.

And as far as the "hood pins" go, those are there most likely due to a bad or missing hood latch. Jeep used similar ones for their CJs and YJs to hold down the hood (rather than a hood release system), and my dad's Baja Bug has some rubber ones to hold on the fiberglass trunklid (no latch or hinges).

Looks very similar to the ones they used to dunk a Porsche engine in the back of and replace some of the steel bodywork for fiberglass. I read an article once that someone was restoring the one that Mario Andretti began his racing career in.

Love Karmann Ghias though, gorgeous cars. Nice spot

Is that a Lister Storm with "Jaguar" on the hood in pic #6?

Yes it is. It's got a Jaguar V12.

 

[CyborgGT]

I just looked that up, thinking they may have been a Jaguar-based company.

Lister were a sports car manufacturer in the 50's and 60's. Some of their cars used Jag engines. The marque was revived in the 80's and they built some Jaguar XJS's with heavily modified bodies and engines - which were probably used as the basis for the Lister Storm engines.

At the risk of having missed a heavy dose of sarcasm, I'll point out that they were taken at last year's Festival of Speed, in July.

Ah, ok. It seemed like he had just seen these cars.

 

[Ghost_drift]

No my apologies. hehe they where in deed for 2007, I just posted them without reading the thread properly. They should be posted in general pics realy.

 

[Glanza-V]

Whats the lister based on ?

GT4

Clean 3series

 

[McLaren]

Whats the lister based on ?

It's based on nothing. The Lister Storm GT shown above is "top of the line" Storm that reappeared in 1999. It holds a 546Hp Jaguar V12.

 

[Glanza-V]

I know the car , from gt2.. I was just curious to see did it have a chassis from a different car or something.

 

[exigeracer]

Don't see these too often...

 

[Glanza-V]

Ugly compered to the saloon one

 

[McLaren]

Nope Glanza, it was pretty much 100% Lister.

Today, saw a brand new Mazda6. Looked pretty good; makes me eager to see a Mazdaspeed model now. No pics, as he was following me, and I find it difficult enough trying to drive in coming-home traffic without trying to take a picture in the rear view mirror.

Check out the GT-R's number plate. YEs thats right its the one the Stig drove.

it was also the one most of the mags drove first and at the big shows, a bit of a promo hand-around
