droptopman Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Need a laugh guys picked up one of these. Just for local crap I have 4 others as this can not be your only car. You fit in that? I would be surprised if your wrist got thru the door;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nanuq Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 I was out on this trail yesterday and it still has lots of snow on it. Bears are out now too! Whoop whoop! 2
Mike on a bike Posted March 31, 2014 Report Posted March 31, 2014 droptop, plenty of room and I am not a small guy to say the least. Two seats all cabin enough room behind for a trip to super market, getting about 35 MPH around town. A lot more room than the 69 Vet I cruised around in back in high school. (T-roofs ,drop back window, 327 small block w/350 horse)

(T-roofs ,drop back window, 327 small block w/350 horse) Wow, would not have guessed that. Cool. Love the Corvette you had. My wife drives a Prius, it is a series 5 with every option and 17 inch factory mags, even has heated seats. It is a very good car. Plenty of room and averages 50+ MPG. Little short on leg room for me being 6 3 but all in all a great vehicle. We drove it to Palm Springs and back for about $300 in gas:) I wanted to buy her an Audi when I bought my last one and she wanted the Prius. She loves it. Easily fit 2 sets of golf clubs and 2 suitcases in it.
Jkay Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 Wow, would not have guessed that. Remember, the Smart is a European (Mercedes) car, not an Asian design.
droptopman Posted April 1, 2014 Report Posted April 1, 2014 That makes sense. Why my Audi is small sports car but plenty of leg and cockpit room for big guy like me. Always liked Euro cars. Had many over the years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
dusk Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) Great thread. I've always been a car person and owned a lot over my life. Current is a 3 series touring msport. Fantastic 'sensible' car for my needs and cheap on fuel too. No plans to change for a while and when I do it will be for a bigger engined touring Edited May 22, 2014 by dusk
Pugwash Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) A 1997 Ducati 748, bought in 1998, with only 3500 miles on the clock as it was in storage while I was in Paris, then rebuilt by my local Ducati garage. Edited April 15, 2014 by Pugwash 1
chronoluvvv Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) how'd ya like the maintenance on that 748 ? the only thing more temperamental that a Duc is its mechanic Edited April 15, 2014 by chronoluvvv
Pugwash Posted April 15, 2014 Report Posted April 15, 2014 how'd ya like the maintenance on that 748 ? the only thing more temperamental that a Duc is its mechanic Yeah, hence the low mileage. It's just had a chunk of the wiring loom replaced to give it reliable electrics.

droptopman Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Hi guys, in process of ordering a 2015 Audi S5 droptop to replace my 2010. Some new features on this model. Adaptive suspension control, sport differential, dual clutch transmission, and titanium wheels Nothing available with the options I chose so I have to order it and wait 12-16 weeks. It will be Ice Silver with black top and titanium wheels. Silver and black interior with carbon fiber inlays. First thing I will do is paint the grill black and install a Stasis chip to control the computer and add some more HP!!! Cheesy picture from the PDF build on Audi's website. Pretty excited should have the order completed tomorrow. What you think of the build. Usually do black but sick of buffing and waxing all the time. Silver with the dark wheels should be easier upkeep.
asciwhite Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 "Liberated" some space in the front with a grinder! Now the front wheels can turn freely

droptopman Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Hey Tom, Very nice,I think I chose the same color and similar wheel pattern. Audi makes an excellent car. Had a 2007 RS 4 then the 2010 cabrio I have now. Going to sign all the paperwork this afternoon. I will post some pics once she arrives. Mark
tomhorn Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Will be interested in the Stasis chip results. I hated the standard 2.0T engine when I drove one, so I went back to the 2009 model year to get the 3.2l v6. Hope the 3.0T of the S5 is better. I actually want to upgrade myself at some point. My wheels are the 19" titanium rotors. Interesting that the new 'facelift' model doesn't have a black grille. Mine certainly is. Edited April 16, 2014 by tomhorn
droptopman Posted April 17, 2014 Report Posted April 17, 2014 Tom, yes the supercharged 6 is like a different car. Performs and sounds more like my RS4. Spent an hour or so today driving around in one. Big difference from my current model. You can change cars performance settings with the computer in the MMI. It is really cool 4 settings change the characteristics from comfort, sport and dynamic and 1 user setting option. The dual clutch tranny works like a stall converter on a race car. You can apply brake at a stop and wind it to 3500 rpm and launch it. The new sport differential acts more like a rear wheel drive when you have it in dynamic mode. You can actually get the back end to slide pretty good. I think I may have scared the salesman a little a couple of times. Only problem is they are not going to offer the Ice Silver for 2015 so now I have to figure out what color. The new silver has a blue tint to it. I am waiting to get some samples of the new colors. Could end up with another Black one. They were wrong about estimated time. I cannot even get a formal order in for three weeks. Really close to buying a new 2014 in black but did not have the titanium wheels and I hate buying a new car that is almost a year old......in car years. Car exceeded my expectations for performance and I have built and owned many fast cars and some race cars. Go drive one, I think you will be impressed.
Evora Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 And my 'Avatar' Aston I raced there in a different race at Spa that year. AJ Nice cars, nice track! I love to race on this track too, but it's about 60km from home ;-) Any chance to see you there this year? Evora
