Sure, how's this look? http://www.madwhips.com/ford-falcon-xy-gtho/ You can do it by cutting and pasting the 'Embed' code from the youtube video page into a comment in your album.

I got back from Monterey this morning. The Auto Union was spectacular, as was everything else there. I'll send the photo discs to Vinay to upload. I took about 2000 photos, so I'll leave it to him to post as many or as few as he likes.

Nice Cizeta video you found, Mgray:
 
avatar Vinay 9:16pm Tuesday August 04, 2009
 
There was definitely no Cizeta Marauder at Cars and Coffee the week I was there. I would have really liked to see that car up close. It isn't a car I have seen before.

Nope. I'm quite sure they have not. They keep talking about the Evora coming here next year. Apparently a bunch of celebrities are on the list for the first ones being imported to North America.

anytime. Great Catch on that Europa btw.

Done. Does it look ok?
 
avatar Vinay 9:21pm Saturday July 25, 2009
 
OHhHH.. I See. Yes, Please do it again, and I will remove the correct photos (ie the first 3, so the second 3 you upload end up in the correct order.)

Ohh, whoops. I didn't realise they were different. (What was the difference?)

Hi MGray, I have removed the duplicate pics from the Lotus Europa album.

Yeah I love EVO (read their 10th anniversary special cover-to-cover last night! AGAIN!)- I just wish Harry's (the boss!) dampers had gone off before mine - i bought new ones direct from Sachs in Germany instead of having them rebuilt - about 3x the price! Only lasted 45k miles too! Mind, it was the easiest fitting job I've ever done, thankfully. I know I'll never sell the Trophy, it has so much character it's like a member of the family. My insurance should dip below £3k a year after my birthday in October too haha. Just splashed on a new plate - T3 PHY - and made the '3' look like an 'R' with fastening bolts! Is that as sad as it sounds in writing?! Found my cable for my phone, so pics uploaded over the weekend hopefully (I'm stealing wifi from the pub down the road til mine's sorted!) Oh I could talk about fast Renaults all day long.

Yeah i do like a quick-witted front driver. I've had all sorts - 4 Peugeot 106s (1 litre 4 speed, 1.1, 1.3 Rallye and 1.6 GTi), a 205 GTi 1.6, MKII Golf 16v, 2 Clio 1.2s and my current Clio Trophy (not the one in the pic, it's black!). Still, my old Mx-5 Turbo was just about the most fun i've ever had - until I got in one day and my foot went straight through the floor! Prob should've realised Jap imports aren't galvanized like UK-supplied cars! Woops!

Hey dude! Here is one of the e9's I captured, I have more in the vault... coming.. :) http://www.madwhips.com/bmw-e9-2800-csi/

Done. STi album has been updated.

Well, the occasional Veyron, Koenigsegg, Carrera GT, RSR, 917, Delage, Hispano-Suiza etc etc etc . . . . I'll just make it up as I go along. I bought 2 more memory cards today. But I'm sure they won't be enough. Vinay will go nuts loading all my photos. Think I'll send him the pics on disc and he can do them when he can.

The only one that comes to mind is the Abarth Carrera GT-L, which was a 356 Carrera in an aluminium body by Abarth. I think they built 19 of them.

Well that's impressive! How the hell did you find it? I got out of hospital today, so things are much better now. 3 weeks is just about long enough.

Hi MGray. Thank you for pointing out about the Ford Falcon. We really appreciate anytime an inconsistency is raised, so we can correct it. I will re-arrange the Falcon classification and get back to you.
 
avatar Vinay 2:21pm Wednesday May 27, 2009
 
Hi MGray, Thanks for the research, you are absolutely right, it is worth changing. We would like to keep our makes and model classification as accurate and consistent as we can; makes for a better site and browsing experience for everyone. Thank you for pointing that out.

No, Doesn't look there is a way to remove them. I just tried on my end as well. I think you bring up an important consideration. In any case, I can attempt to remove the one you want from the database directly perhaps. Is it the tag that's all in lower case?

He did say to open the door to take some shots of the interior, but he didn't make the offer to try it on for size, so I didn't ask.
 
avatar oliver_sudden 3:48pm Monday March 30, 2009
 
I love the R8, but don't know which I'd have : 997 or R8. They both get the juices flowing. As a piece of sculpture, the R8 has it all over the 997.The R8 is more exciting, but the 997 is a Porsche. Interestingly, the guy I was speaking to the other day about his R8 said it was better than the 911 because "the Porsche still has the engine in the wrong place." If you know of Bill Buckle, that's who it was.

G'day. I have few albums on standby, but because of my upload problem I haven't created the albums. I can create albums OK, but I can't upload photos. What I do is to create the album, then email the photos to Vinay in Toronto and he adds the photos. He must be away because he hasn't added my last submission yet. I'll wait until he's back on deck before I do the rest. But I did have an amazing Audi R8 moment the other day. Got some great photos, even interior shots.

It's always difficult to predict what will become a classic. When I worked at Scuderia Veloce Motors in Sydney in the early 70s we had so much trouble selling new 2.7 RS's because they were too expensive at $17,700 . . . . . After all, a 2.4S was $16,000, and why spend the extra for 300cc, flares and a ducktail? Now, of course, RSs change hands for half a mill. The GT2 will always have a limited appeal (personally I lust after a 993GT2 http://www.madwhips.com/porsche-993-gt2/ ) but the 996/997 GT2s just seem a bit of overkill to me. I can only go from road tests in the magazines, not having driven one, but the GT3s that I have driven are more than enough for me. But history could well prove me wrong.

Glad to help. The 959 was a technological marvel in its day, and I think it still is. Sequential turbocharging, 4WD, speed-adjustable ride height, zero lift aero package, 200MPH etc. Interestingly, the 997TT is just as quick. But I'd rather have a 959 for historical value and rarity. I've just got home from the Porsche Club monthly meeting which is held at Porsche Centre Willoughby here in Sydney. Among all the Boxsters, Cayennes and standard 997s they have 3 997 GT2s in stock. I think they'll be there for a while.

Good questions! I haven't driven a C4, but road tests which compare the two do indicate that the C4 has more grip, but understeers more, which is to be expected with 4WD. Mechanically they're identical, though the C4 is fractionally slower than the C2 due to the extra weight. The GT3 & GT2 are rear wheel drive to save weight, and also add to driver appeal. A 2wd 911 (996, 997) is much more fun than a 4WD version. I've driven GT3s and they're a riot! Four wheel drive would give more grip, but would dilute the fun. Sliding a GT3 through a turn is one life's true joys. You should try it sometime. Hope this helps.

Re your query on the supercharged early 911, I contacted the owner, here's his reply "Best result was 205 kW [275 hp] at the rear wheels and based on the std conversion of 1.32 this means 271 kW aye engine. Car weighs 1118 kg. The weight is due to full welded cage 55kg, GT3 discs and brakes up front 10 kg and supercharger and intercooler 16 kg. Extra oil cooler and hoses 8 kg. Total 89 kg. Thus shell etc is a nett 1029. Remember the 3.0 SC motor with 915 box is a lot heavier than the orig 2.2 with mag case and mag 901 box." Mark.

Thanks for the concern. I've been out of circulation for a cuppla weeks. Been in hospital having more chemotherapy. Out now, and back into it! Stand by for more photos.
