Fun Car...

[djetok]

I almost put up a thread on this car yesterday, until I saw that it's base price was estimated to be over 50,000 Euro.

For me, that's far above any reasonable VW price point.

A moot point, since it will not be offered over here.

Its big brother has finally made it across the pond.

And starting at only $110K ... it's a bargain. (Granted, not too many mid-sized wagons do 0-60 MPH in 3.5 seconds.)

Yes it is a lot dough, but this is a long anticipated car for the US. They have had them in Europe for a while and some like myself have been dying for it to come.

Speaking of fun cars . My son and I went to a local coffee and cars in OKC/Edmond last weekend. Wow, there were tons of exotics there. Just to name a few - LaFerrari, 488, super leggera , 05 gt40, 19 gt40 x2 , multiple McClarens 570s, 650s, 765LT and (3) P1's in one spot.

I will post some of the pics from my sons phone later.

Oh yeah almost forgot one of my all time faves. 356 speedster was nestled in with the super/hyper cars

Could be a fun ski car if they'd sell it here.

I'm Trying To Think Of A Better Car Than The Volkswagen Golf R Estate And I'm Having A Hard Time

It has 316 horsepower, an optional trailer hitch, and drift mode.

In a heartbeat.

Yup!
My only real complaint about my R is that I would like a little more interior room. Add to that a hitch & towing capacity & it could actually be practical.

What about the Audi A4 AllRoad wagon which is a lifted wagon vs the A4 Avant which we don’t get in North America either. 261hp stock from a turbo 2 litre with 12V hybrid which I’m sure would be over 300hp with a mild ecu tune. Would be a good ski too car if the RS6 is too rich for your blood!

Detailed a cool “fun car” yesterday which doesn’t break the bank. A Beck build 550 Porsche Speedster which the customer picked up used for around the same price as a new GTI. Car weighs almost nothing(1200-1300 pound range) so even with the small VW engine iry peppy. Sounds great and gets lots of attention.

We saw him after coffee and cars in downtown ok. 1 of 106 neat hybrid , then we saw him on the Broadway extension in edmond going home.

My mom is letting someone store their car in her garage. She said it was a Dodge, I figure some shitter. Nope, 1970 Challenger R/T 440 6-pack with a 4 gear concours condition. I said don't drop any lumber on that thing it's worth as much as your house!

oops uploaded the wrong pic, Gray headed guy with the floral shirt is the driver.

You know, in a slightly boring, white bread way, my lowered 2013 XC 60 fits that description.

350 x 350 dog or skis or bike in back (two in a pinch).

And -- bonus for me -- an inline 6 engine.

Any chance of pulling the cover and snapping a few pics? As a young kid with a paper route, one of my customers had the Charger version of that. I was always too shy to ask for a ride.

Plum Crazy...great colour...what a car. Sad I couldn't hear it. They only made 867 of the 440/6 packs that year..and probably less than 50% were 4 speeds.

^^^ Beautiful! Thanks!

Report back after you ante up a month of his rent in return for a short (perfect weather and roads) test drive!

I was trying to make up an excuse to "move" it....

Someone has put a RS3 drivetrain into an Alltrack...sounds wonderful!

Tuning shop near me is finishing up swapping an RS3...

Posting for inspiration. They haven't posted build details yet, but it sounds absolutely amazing.

Was at a car show Saturday, saw one of these:

Bitter SC. Total of 461 produced. The owner said "bet you don't know what this is"...I said yes I do, but I've never seen one in person.

When I worked at Rothrock in the 80's they were a Bitter (and TVR) dealer.

I recently saw one that was $2.5

Not sure if you have ever been but based on your pic's you might really enjoy a few days at the Monterey Car Week. Definitely worth going at least once if you are into super or hyper cars. It just started this past weekend.

I have not been to Monterey. We are thinking of going to some soon. We were supposed to goto Barrett Jackson in AZ but covid and all. We just love cars. My son is really into the super/hyper cars. I really like the 60's Era muscle cars.

No problem! I would give you 2.5 USD for it, but I don't think I could afford to insure it (just the liability and property damage).

I recently saw this odd duck parked across the street in DC where I was staying. Anyone have info on this vehicle? It clearly needs work.
