YESSSS!  LISTEN TO THIS MAN.

[GoCougs]

Cool - an infinitely better deal than the other MG project car you were looking at...

[Rupert]

Oh yes, for sure. I probably wouldn't have got that one anyway. I'm not into cars that don't run (when I want to buy it ). I'm very happy with my purchase.

[Rupert]

YESSSS!  LISTEN TO THIS MAN.

Haha, no.

[MX793]

Haha, no.

Nobody rices MGBs.  It would be truly unique.

[Rupert]

Unique like Dennis Rodman...

I hope you don't mind getting passed by diesel VW Rabbits and semi trucks.

I can't believe that those cars had double digit horsepower ratings. Looks like fun, though.

EDIT: Why is this in The Fastlane?

[Tave]

Congrats on the ride. I'm jealous.

Thanks!

Well, it's not mainstream, and it certainly isn't luxury... Maybe we need a slow-as-molasses lane.

Ooooooh!!!  Can I join?!

[Rupert]

Do you have over 100 hp?

[Soup DeVille]

Its a sports car.

It stays.

[the Teuton]

Do you have over 100 hp?

Barely and probably not after drivetrain loss.

[Secret Chimp]

You are wiser than I - when I come to choose an old sports car I'll probably get an Alfa Romeo :P

Well, I do love the Alfas. Too much money to buy and fix, though. I liked that Fiat this afternoon, but this was such a better deal.

[the Teuton]

Technically, are all roadsters sports cars?  I'm not so sure.

[Rupert]

So, do you guys think this will appease the Automotive Gods who have been pissed at me since I sold the Miata?

[280Z Turbo]

Hey, it's a chrome bumper car!

At first I was thinking it was a later rubber bumper car.  Also, I did a little research and the acceleration is not as bad as I thought. 0-60 in under 14 seconds. At least it will hit 60.

If it doesn't you're screwed.

[Rupert]

Technically, sports cars don't have convertible tops. But who gives a rats ass. This mofo is definitely a sports car. Like, for a lot of people, this defines sports car. Hell yes.

[Rupert]

If it doesn't you're screwed.

Oh, so true.

Shit yes chrome!

How much does it weigh?  How the hell is it slower than my beastie?

[280Z Turbo]

It probably has less than 50 hp at the rear wheels.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I bet that thing can do at least 100 mph. That's wicked fast.

[the Teuton]

He can has Miata transplant?  That car could potentially go from cool to r0xx0r.

stfu, that's tons and tons and tons of fab work for like 20 more hp

Maybe just barely.
