Exmoor Beast Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Obviously we are pretty much all dyed in the wool Land-Rover Nuts but I bet we all have secret fancies for other cars. I have always wanted one of these since reading Custom Car donkeys years ago Fugitive 2. Completely impractical but I would love one especially a V8. Anyone on here ever owned one?

siggy Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Would like one of these with the engine and running gear of one of these although mucho mucho modifying might be in order would be fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 My mate Jane used to race a Caterham with 250bhp, having been in that a few times I know I am too scarred to own one. Would mind the P38a though, its on our maybe list for when we change the Discovery... Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 wanted but never had??? Kylie Car wise hard to pick out just one (apart from a land rover of course), did nearly buy a V8 fugative a while back but not on my all time wants list. Would have to be either an escort mkI or II, group 4 ideally, or maybe a 7 or 7 clone. Engine choice would be difficult though, nice throbbing V8 or a high reving screamer like the honda S2000 motor or a couple of hyabusa's. Hmm decisions, decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Other than a nympho babe (with a huge bank balance) really into potato faced land rover monkey ???? hmmm Cobra with an LS6 motor, Ultima GTR, Ford 32 coupe, Fiat 500 V8 (next years build) Folan V1000, the Britten - possibly the most beautiful thing ever made, Vincent series C or Black shadow, TVR Cebera in yellow... so many ways to warm the summer and bring the coast a little closer and sooooooooooo little time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diff Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 'Fugitive 2. Completely impractical but I would love one especially a V8. Anyone on here ever owned one?' Hi Will, I designed and built my own sandrail a lot of years ago, which was very similar to the fugitive 2. Tubular steel space frame. I built mine with a mildly tweaked 1600 VW twin port aircooled engine. I had fiddle(steering) brakes on it and it was an absolute hoot. No windscreen, so goggles or shades were a must! The front was light enough to be picked up by one man(just!)I had it on the road for a year, but spent many more happy years competing in modified trials against 4x4s and doing some driving days. It was almost indestructable, and I don't remember breaking anything! Except the odd mudguard stay. Oh and the headlights once at a competition at Bovington when I spectacularly rolled it end over end and made the cover of the 'All Wheel Driver' magazine. Once flipped back upright, it was fine,(apart from the headlights). I had wide BFG all terrains for the road, and initially for off roading, I then made up some 16 inch wheels for the rear so I could run Firestone SATs which made a huge difference to its offroad performance. The fiddle brakes were very handy for getting round the corners offroad as it had a 96 inch wheelbase I seem to remember. Speed was the key, as it obviously didn't have the low gears that the 4x4s I competed against did. Great fun launching it at every obstacle that got in the way! From what I have heard, it would suit your style of offroad driving Will! Regards, Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Folan V1000, the Britten - possibly the most beautiful thing ever made, Vincent series C or Black shadow, TVR Cebera in yellow... Yeah, Britten Any day, however not being able to afford a Black Shadow I make do with a Series C Comet and a Egli-Vincent 500 Comet racer two cylinders between them, and they go around corners better than any vinny twin will ever do! Keep looking at Laverda Jota 180's at the moment, not to mention AJS Model 18S Scramblers, BSA Rocket Goldstars, AJS 7R Boy Racers, 18S looks like the next project build B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to drive them, power in at 7k,, all gone at 9k,,and they had to be driven sideways, to dial out the understeer !!

I'm waiting for my mate to get his mkII with red top (I know not for the purist) finished so I can have a go, although I think his old man's mk1 will be finished first, also looking like being a red top.

Jen Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Nobel M12 GTO ............. Mmmmmmm. B) - yes, I know it's a Mondeo Engine, but it's got 2 turbos and sounds fantastic. Never really been into 'big power' and am more and 'excellent handling' type girl myself, hense the M12, but wouldn't mind and Ford Mustang, Shelby GT500 of course. Loved it before, loved it alot after seeing 'Elenor', excellent looking car. As a 'fun' car, I'd love a rally preped Subaru Impreza - anti-lag etc. etc. (and the ability to rebuild the flat four!) ... in the mean time I'll just have to stick with my 230bhp +, 5.2 seconds to 60, sticks like glue, road going standard (ish!) baby B) (oh. and Will Smith ) ...not forgetting a TVR. And an Aston (classic Aston, none of this modern stuff). Mm. I was asked to make my 'top 10' of cars the other day, I think I ended up with 43. So I better stop now!
