Thanks for the encouragement..when I first floated the idea my wife said
"you can't be serious..." but now seems happy with the new toy in the garage....which is now the subject of obligation number one...I promised to clean up the garage.

Anyone interested in a low Km Peugeot 206cc???

Hey Jen,

I may be interested in selling mine in a year or so.... cheaper than you might think, should I contact you then? You can start saving now and I will deliver it too. Dennis.

WOW, lovely toy Peter.

I'd be a fibber if I said I wasn't jealous.

You probably earn't it for many years of hard work and study so enjoy.

Cheers

Hmm..I'll just go for the tostesterone injections by the time they are needed..much cheaper and greener.

At around 5000 rpm I also realised a turbo was redundant, as was my drivers license if I persisted

Whoops, missed the K LOL.

There is no law governing how quickly you get to the posted speed limit either!
Enjoy your new baby.

Nah..I don't like those hypodermic pricks...and a Prius wouldn't cut it...

As a good friend of mine used to say...you are a long time looking at the lid.

My '92 911 C4, your 348. A course to be agreed.
Winner gets the other's telescopes!
You might win a Meade 102 ED/APO on a Porta-Mount

. If you're dead lucky

Nah. It's not a F355.

How about we toss for it? Heads I win, tails you lose.

mac (Matt) · #31 31-07-2009, 07:00 PM

It looks like a nice wee car! Enjoy...

Waxing_Gibbous (Peter) · #32 31-07-2009, 07:10 PM

Darn! I was onto a sure thing. Belts. Belts. Belts. Did I mention belts?
And oil.
Take the recommended service intervals and halve them and you'll be able to leave it to your grand-kids.
Ignore them and you will hear nothing but the happy voice of your mechanic saying "That'll be $35,000 for the new engine sir - Marge! we're going to Europe this year!"
On the other hand don't be afraid to thrash it. I beat my old 328 mercilessly and it kept coming back for more.
Very nice aquisition. Hope you enjoy it.

Oh yeah. Had a Fiat 124CC that busted a cam belt mid flight.

Was not pretty.

Valves perforated pistons. Totally buggered the head.

The 348 belts were changed only a few months ago. Already changed the tranny oil. Still deciding whether Nulon PFTE for the engine (dry sump) is a good idea.

Kal (Andrew) · #34 31-07-2009, 07:42 PM

My first car was a red italian sportscar.........only an alfa romeo though

Nice car Peter! Any nice cruise up or down the coast planned?

Pete, there is no way I would do that. The way they do their cylinder finish, piston clearance and ring pressure, PTFE is a no no.( I had looked into this some years ago)
Having said that if you get the ok from a real Ferrari engine builder, well then do it.

leon · #36 31-07-2009, 10:58 PM

Hey Peter, just beware mate, this is what happens when one hits a chook at 250ks per hour

I wish.... If it were not for the day job I think the business would have closed up long ago. But...that might be a good marketing ploy! ....how many PME's can I put you down for
