my toy

Not as comfy as yours, but its performance enhancement is the removal of all unnecessary weight! 0-60 mph under 5 seconds - not bad for 60 bhp ;)

Woo hoo! That's mad!

[Pinball Fixers]

I'm in the same boat...



It's a 2000 jaguar XKR with a few performance enhancements ;-)  The car on the other side is my old 1982 Porsche 944 that had 45k original miles when I sold it.  I don't know which I love more driving like an idiot or playing pinball.  The pinball is definately much more safe =)

Really cool cars btw.  Nick that ride is crazy cool.

Hey Chuck,

I love the Jaguars... my Dad has restored quite a few of them over the years, mainly the Mark 2's from the very late 60's. But I must say, that the Daimlers of that time were better.

The XKR is a dream of mine to own... so if you can, then maybe I will too some day...

Chuck   hope you bring one to expo  for when we have a drink ...............

I would love to bring it.  There is room for luggage but not a rfm and a swe1 playfield :p

no worries  settle for a drink and a game of pinball then

hey does a faded red '83 EXA with brown interior count ?....its got a microtech ecu 

[markc]

turbo  version ??


I had a black one  of those    MANY years ago

[Nug]

yes less than std boost (6.5psi) 92kw at front wheels and a 15.2 qtr (0-100 7.9) and still get 650kms to 45 litres. i did my own porting and installed VL 55 mm throttle body and a gtst standard intercooler which is huge for me, also a T28 off a tturbo 300zx

i use it to get to work so i dont screw with it too much these days...

now my old datto 1600 with a T3 and 2 inch SU was something else...13.8sec qtr use to spin that bastard round to 8500! hehe no intercooler and 14 PSI...had to escape from some ethnics one night in their daddys statesman...they were throwing tomatoes at me?   :P

[markc]

Love the Dodge. Always been a Mopar man. Dad used to work at a Chrysler dealership here in Adelaide. Still remember the days when he used to come home from work with a different variety of Chrysler every day. Charger one day, Regal the next...etc.
