Mercury had a model in the 80's looked like the Mustang, forget what it was though. Maybe Capri.
No, but they will rent you a Caprice which has the same engine minus the HSV tuning and supercharger. They still push out ballpark 400hp though, and will give you a fright when you sink the boot in if you've been driving some 2-3 litre oil burner in Thailand for too long.Quote:

Even at 261 mph the wheel and tire has to withstand extreme forces. The valve cap on each wheel weighs 2.5 grams, but it equates to 16 pounds at 261 mph. As the speed moves even higher, the loads increase exponentially.
Wallace says at the moment, there is no tire that can withstand the g-loading at 300 mph, but he predicts Michelin engineers will sign off on a top speed with the current production tire slightly north of 280 mph. Perhaps a future version of this car will be engineered to hit that magic 300 mph milestone."
Anyone here own one?...They come in at a cool $3,000,000...Don't know if that's US dollars, but it doesn't really matter...
Green for you good sir :)Quote:

Warm or Cold?
Warm, cold and cold :-)
the mini vans and pick ups had painted grilles, but the badge is circular and that equates to the cooper models.
thai reg. so probably not original badging.
i'll go for an early mini van or pick up.
^ OK I really only put it there to test my photoshop as one poster on TD doesn't seem to be able to post from Photoshop.
But seeing as it is in some ways too easy, I will have to be a stickler before I award the virtual cigar.
