[dj_wudgey]

[Pistol Pete]

Bike looks more like a Suzuki gixxer (GSX-R) thou to me. Money spent on it aswell, rear sets, Ohlins shock. Any more pics?

LMFAO @ im more interested in a ropey Mk1 than a 240mph indycar.

Yes, MK1's are cool, but come on, how often do you see a bit of kit like that cosworth in private hands lol

Passionford.

[Pistol Pete]

Cossie powered indy cars on passionford?

[craig green]

Pah. Can he pilot them though thats the question?

More money than sense? All the gear no idea?

[Pistol Pete]

Cant really tell by looking at the car. Can just make out chicken strips round the rear tyre on the bike, so probably not ridden hard. But i could be wrong.

True. Need action shots of it with the wings bending under heavy downforce loads lol

[Pistol Pete]

Or the front wheel pointing skyward, or drifting it mid corner :cool: (i'm on about the bike here lol)

Mate of mine has a Reynard in his garage :)


And the bike doesn't have chicken strips since you can see the blueing on the tyre right round to the edge. That's been ridden hard!

My nova had blueing on the tyres all round the edge lol

[Dar]

Can't believe that, that single seater is THAT heavy! They should be uber light. Nice power figure though :thumb: who nicked the rear wing?

Any details on the engine?

mallory park has got to be the crappest place in the uk to attempt to get that indy car running. the longest straight is about 300yards followed by another tricky corner. I saw an old f3000 car get totalled on a hot day during a single seater race. the one lap warmup did not work on his tyres, and he made it for exactly 1 straight & half a corner.

[Fridge]

Just have to ask, what does he do so he can afford expensive toys like that?
I'm always curious as to how people fund expensive hobbies.

by not having children as a guess, I have some & am very skint:( :( :(

[Fridge]

See, i do want kids some time, but i'd prefer an indycar more

I heard a quote the other day that, throughout their lifetime your kids will cost you on average £190k each
