Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.

You know you're really old when the dementia kicks in over text...

Says on the site that the car was sold to Keith Linnell. His shop is about 15 mins from my place. My try to see if he still has it!

Been playing with some ideas using Gen AI 🤣

 

I had the first strawberry face 180 in oz back in 99… maybe I should do the first strawberry P11?

Yeah the aussie one was super unsuccessful. It is almost certainly at the back of some workshop under a very dusty cover

I’ll offer him $50 and a cold beer and see if he wants to sell. Will save me building one

Just re-read the history of that car. That was the P10 which wasn’t that successful. It was effectively just a Pulsar SSS with IRS. The P11 was a much better and more successful beast. I’m surprise for a campaign in the 2000’s they bought such an old car.

Just a budget thing I'm sure.

Super tourers didn't make it locally and the drivers in that car were paying for drives; so the business case doesn't stack up unless the base car is cheap
