Here's the first CR-Z (I think) I've seen, didn't look too bad but there was no way you could get anyone above 4ft in the back seats!

i've been woundering what they were, i had a feeling its a new civic del-sol or something! lol

sen one twice (the same one) at work a few weeks ago

Once there was no cars coming towards him (behind the Range) he just shot up that lane and turned into Wellsway. Can't keep the stealers waiting!

Working on this today

Hahaha, yea, by the size of the turbo that's been fitted and the 2.8L Abbey motorsport engine conversion I could see how it might be a little...

Got to dyno run it once I've fixed the wastgate, and too say i'm a little bit apprehensive is an understatement

I'm guessing around 800 if I can actually get any traction whatsoever when the turbo lights up.

Pics of the car itself?

LiamC · 9 Mar 2011 at 19:12

That's all I've taken so far, been too busy.

Standard, yes, this one ain't standard....

Nope, PowerStation

Slinky1989 · 9 Mar 2011 at 19:42

Ahh by any chance do you know James Lane? Works with AST there part time.

Also, here's a couple of things I've spotted in the local halfords car park.

Fuzz · 9 Mar 2011 at 20:08

Yep I know him, I'm trying to get hold of another landrover so I can go offroading with him.
Not found the right one yet though.

Slinky1989 · 9 Mar 2011 at 20:12

I go to uni/college with him. Was looking at the rangie he's planning on buying on his phone. Nice car but shame that the big merc has to go. And yeah, all I hear about from him is usually about land/range rovers and off roading

New favourite road.

I saw a 206 with chrome spinners in Leyton this morning, sadly I couldn't get my phone out quick enough to take a picture, but it did make me laugh.

That looks gooood!

Where abouts is it?

mrk · 10 Mar 2011 at 13:42

You call that a road??!

And the opposite side:

Deadman's Hill, New Forest

Epic tarmac for grip, epic bends for gravities

Edit*

Just watch out for deer and horses, they do walk across often ^_^

Maccy · 10 Mar 2011 at 14:00

Robbie, don't suppose you've got a link to a high res version of that second photo have you?

SoliD · 10 Mar 2011 at 14:03

Shame about the 40mph limit though mrk!

mrk · 10 Mar 2011 at 14:24

What limit?

What resolution would you be looking for maccy?

Maccy · 10 Mar 2011 at 14:46

Enough for a 24" screen, around the 2000 width region?

Only problem I see there is the sides of the road slope down, giving an effect oppisite to nascar.
Easy to misjudge I think, I used to live near a road just like that, great but fairly terminal if you left the road and lots of sheep for testing of brakes
