For Sharkie - and anyone else interested in such things

what's got a 1078cc 4 cylinder radial valve engine that has 116kW of power, 119Nm of torque, accelerates to 100k's in under 3 seconds (if you're good), has a top speed of 270k/h and is very, very naked?





My new toy in the shed:



I could have almost bought another Tig with the $$$, but I'm not complaining - there's nothing like an MV to excite the soul and get the juices flowing!

Okay John now I really do hate you very much indeed!!

I am moist in more than one place

[Transporter]

Congratulations mate,

That's one nice machine.

Hey Sharkie... watch out for Clip on bike.

[Sharkie]

Very Nice John .... love it !!!

...... seems like its time for all kinds of new toys around ....

I'm dabbling a bit on the dark side of the force .... Diesel & DSG coming up in November .... and then seeing the light with a real toy possibly landing in Feb/March just for me ..... ..... a hint .... it's from Stuttgart .....

Hey Sharkie... watch out for Clip on bike.

Yeah, he's a bit more adventurous than me, I've only got a baby in comparison .....

90kw & 86NM and only around 3s 0-100 ..... still a lot of fun though ....

Jesus guys.
You should have gone stage 3 instead

After going on the rollercoaster's at the Gold Coast amusement aprsk ont eh weekend, i can safely say that the no frills high speed experience would be an awesome thing.
I am just too scared i would wipe myself out on one.


Enjoy it though.

me too, bikes are awesome, but think I'd end up in a ditch, lose licence. Things that are naked and powerful have a habit of being trouble!

Skarkie you taking that BMW X3 3.OTT thing seriously? ie Stuttgart

now that's exciting!

That reminds, I must give that mate of mine a call to see if he went the M3, the CaymenS or the 911. He was dissapointed that BMW only gave you 6 launch control starts under warantee, Porche don't care how many you do so he was leaning to them, but he loves the beemer - and it's a lot cheaper than the 911.

I'd go an Audi S1.
Apparently they are running a RWD biassed AWD system and it's going to be priced pretty competitively.

That's the problem Clay, it's sooo addictive - but I keep the high speed stuff for the track of course.
