AC Greyhound?

Eye of the Tiger · November 17, 2011, 10:33:23 PM

That is a beautiful machine... maybe. What's under the hood?

Colin · November 17, 2011, 11:24:35 PM

No, it's not an AC Greyhound........ rare slip up Mark!

It's either a Peerless or a Warwick GT (they changed the name but not much about the car)............ late 1950s or very early 1960s......... the Warwick then evolved some more to become the fabulous Gordon Keeble. A car whose badge has a tortoise on it, but was very far from slow.

Rupert · November 17, 2011, 11:36:17 PM

Peerless is the one.

I'm not going to lie, the Greyhound guess was a total shot in the dark. I knew the grille was wrong, but I thought maybe someone had replaced the original.

Now after having taken a look at a picture of a Greyhound I see the details are quite different, particularly the diminutive fins on the back, the signal lights and the location of the fuel filler door.

All in all I think the Greyhound was a surprisingly good guess though, they have a very similar shape.

Wanna go in halfsies?

Rupert · December 20, 2011, 07:38:17 PM

You murder, I'll steal?

Eye of the Tiger · December 20, 2011, 07:41:21 PM

Okay. I wouldn't feel nearly as bad about murdering as stealing, anyway.

Rupert · December 20, 2011, 08:29:49 PM

Alright. Drop me a line when you get him dead, and I'll come over and get the money. Make sure to stash the body somewhere so he doesn't get found. It'll take me a day or two to get out there.

Eye of the Tiger · December 20, 2011, 08:33:44 PM

I don't know any pimps. I need someone to collect intel.

Rupert · December 20, 2011, 11:24:43 PM

Call up Foote.

Eye of the Tiger · December 21, 2011, 10:12:12 AM

Wait. If you get the money, what do I get out of this?

Rupert · December 21, 2011, 08:37:52 PM

Um, jail time?

You can drive the Peerless when you get out.

Eye of the Tiger · December 22, 2011, 11:41:38 AM

Do we have to steal a pimp's money? I'd rather rob an ATM machine.

Rupert · December 22, 2011, 08:02:20 PM

Alright. You steal the ATM and I'll blow it open.

Eye of the Tiger · December 25, 2011, 06:07:54 PM

As it turns out, ATMs are heavy and/or fastened down somehow.

Rupert · December 26, 2011, 01:00:11 AM

Blast. Christmas money?

Eye of the Tiger · January 05, 2012, 11:53:13 AM

I did not recieve any money for Christmas or New Year's. I am now currently working on making money in a truck.

Rupert · January 05, 2012, 07:33:15 PM

Maybe we can just use the truck to steal the car.
