cobblers Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Sold the Lupo this morning to a nice chap off here. Got the train down and picked up my new ride - this:Unfortunately it's not gone well. It's developed a suspiciously bottom end bearings type knock, cuts out when warm, and I ran over my foot when pushing it out of the road.

cobblers Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's already (what's left of) a 1330 All sorts of stuff done, and runs a claimed 85bhp at the wheels.They are 6x10 wellers, with Yoko a032rs on - Sticks to the road insanely well, and goes like stink. Just makes a nasty noise!I'm hoping it's not the bottom end, especially since it was all rebuilt 2k miles ago.I do miss the Lupo (Being able to do 95mph while holding a conversation) I had my canalphones in with no music playing all the way back in this, at 60. Absolutely loads of fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 What would you be talking about on a private runway? It was on a moving treadmill travelling in the opposite direction at 100mph, which left me doing -5mph in perfect safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt~black Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 It was on a moving treadmill travelling in the opposite direction at 100mph, which left me doing -5mph in perfect safety.until your wheels fall off the back of it doing 100mph i always wondered that about the italian job how did they not just shoot through the bus as soon as the front wheels touched the ramp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
