Epic work DC!

Found some oldschool footage of my project beast from many years ago, so chucked it into a small video.

Ah, Nissan Patrol drivers.

Ah, Nissan Patrol drivers.

It’s a Maverick. Completely different.

Back in the day used to get phone calls at 10 O'clock on a Sunday night to drive out and do a recovery in the middle of nowhere, then go to work with a 4wheel drive covered from top to bottom with mud.

Episode #19 of why my Polo has had more hits than Elvis:

Wow, just wow. It took me twice as long to watch as I had to keep replaying bits to be sure I understood what happened.

Lessons:

1. The dash cam may not help you when you chat to Police
2. Drivers hey? Pretty fucked at driving on the whole - don't trust them (and the pros like truckies were no better)
3. Intersections...people just don't get them
4. Creative driving...you know dash across the turn before it is your turn just doesn't work
5. My 'L' plater daughter needs to watch this

Jebus... Am some people whinge about MTB trails being built and messing up the place!

 

[hifiandmtb]

All good. 4WD clubs are well known for trail maintenance & rehabilitation.

No different to the mess they made where they built the houses we live in and roads we drive on.

I recognise a lot of those tracks, did them in a silver GQ about the same time.

Singer videos never get old:

I had no idea they did an interior like the second photo:

Their interiors are divine.

I don't really get it. Why pay $800,000 for a restored 40 year old 911... with a Cosworth engine and carbon fibre body panels. Its not really a classic 911 anymore and it doesn't really carry the street cred of a Ruf which was doing the same thing back in the day for a lot less money.

A fool and their money soon parted.

 

[hifiandmtb]

Because money isn't everything.

I can't help how I feel about looking at & imagining driving a Singer.

Everything else sucks.

 

[link1896]

Bespoke craftsmanship comes at a hefty price

 

[Tubbsy]

Yep, check the price of a contemporary RUF.

One word.


Detail.

 

[Shredden]

The restored/updated gauges that Singer does are insane, one of my favourite parts of the car.

A classic Ruf CTR (the one in this video

) should set you back less than $600,000 dependant on condition.

There's a good reason why Ruf has the street cred. They have been way further down the rabbit hole for a lot longer than everyone else.

Singer doesn't have street cred?

Yeah right...
