Someone jump on this one and drive it around to the various get togethers... You will be the star of each event you attend.

Now don't shoot me ,,, but I am thinking Fiberglass replica with Subaru 1800 pushrod engine in it....

Ya know Kyle, I will change out the interior color to what ever your wife wants for free... just go ahead and get it....

The opening bid of 250k (which is not a selling price) seems very low for a car that is a "one of a kind" Not going to dispute the fact that it may very well be a "replica" Of course if it is a replica then 250k is way out of line. You would think the real deal would be worth 5-10x over the new price. I am tempted to bid for fun but already got in trouble bidding on a Russian sub a couple of years ago and then retracting my bid when everyone else backed off and I became the high bidder at 12 million. I could have written a check, taken the sub out and stayed under water till the statute of limitations was up on the check fraud charged but I don't think I could stand it that long, it's real hard to fish underwater:D

I am not suggesting that that one is not real. I am saying that I could afford a fiberglass replica with a Subaru engine in it.

I hate that when everyone above you backs out on a deal...particularly when you are underwater.

I don't know Greg, fiberglass replica may get you in very big trouble with the MB QC people;) They may decide that you are not worthy to park ANY MB in your driveway, take them away, and force you to forever drive 65 VW Beetle.

"The jet flap’s 16 spray jets sucked the 98-octane fuel into the combustion chambers sounding like the starting of a Stealth-Bomber."

Are the jet flap's 16 spray jets inside the combustion chambers?

Doesn't a stealth bomber sound like any other jet?

Rebootit, 1. But I promise to do a quality job 2. They probably don't consider me worthy anyway, and I tend to agree with them . 3. I would go ahead and drive my 71 VW based MGTD replica just to spite them.

Stealth bomber : no one is supposed to know what they sound like. How many people have heard what a stealth bomber sounds like and are still alive ?

leathermang 06-17-2002 03:37 PM

OH,,, Did I not mention that I have constructed a diesel head conversion for the 1800 Subaru engine?... Sorry for not mentioning it earlier... :p

rebootit 06-17-2002 03:44 PM

Uhoh we have attracted the attention of the boss. Everyone look busy, get back to work. To get back on topic and make the boss man happy how about not just "a" 4.0 CDI, how about 8-4.0 CDI's? Then it would still be close to the listed hp. Man would that be some kind of transfer case :p

PS, I am working, only reason I am here at my computer to even see the notification of a new message. Would rather be out doing something to one of the two diesel cars here that need some little thing or another done:D

leathermang 06-17-2002 04:04 PM

GEEZ, I wonder what it takes around here to get some credit for " entertainment value " ? :p

benchracer 06-17-2002 11:25 PM

Anyone notice the model name: Lotec? Is that like Low-tech?
Maybe this is a fiberglass body with an old Subaru engine - or maybe even Briggs & Stratton.

leathermang 06-17-2002 11:31 PM

With that sleek body it certainly would not take much horsepower to get it down the road....
