Dreamt up by John Bettini, the first Bullet car prototype was built in 1996 utilising a Mazda MX-5 body. The chassis was designed and fabricated by Barry Pearson; it consisted of a square-tube spaceframe onto which a 13B rotary powerplant from a Mazda RX-7 was fitted.
Two more years of development saw a number of cars built; the first V8 was powered by a TVR crate engine supplied by the customer. Bettini decided a Lexus 4LT Quadcam would be a more desirable choice and the next production run saw four normally aspirated cars built and sold.
Sprintex, a supercharger company owned by Advanced Engine Components Ltd. (AEC) was commissioned to develop a supercharger system for the new "wide-body" model released in late 1999. AEC was so impressed with the supercharged Bullet SS that they purchased the Bullet company and set up a new manufacturing facility at Yatala in Queensland Australia.
AEC decided that the new Bullet Roadster and supercharged SS models should become fully Australian Design Rules (ADRs) compliant, and they invested heavily to achieve that end on 4 December 2002. All cars built from then on were classified as genuine production models and were priced at $98,000 for the Roadster and $118,000 for the SS[citation needed].
Performance was spectacular[according to whom?] with the 320 kW (430 hp) engine taking the SS from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 5 seconds. Braking and cornering were also outstanding due to the huge Brembo brakes and fully adjustable suspension attached to 18 × 9" wheels.
Resale values remain high with recent sales (2008) of $27,500 for an excellent 1998 Rotary, $37,500 for a 2000 Roadster and $62,000 for a pre-production supercharged

Was driving solo so the only snap was @ the lights.
The dealership is up the road from where I live.
Did 'Zoom Zoom' fairly well.
^Think it's a Bentley. And also think you were coming from Australia Fair and were turning right to head into Surfers.
Yep, it's a Bentley ... rich barstards live near me ... and the dealership is up the road.Quote:

Toyota Avensis?
I think it's an early model Honda Jazz, from about 2002/2003.
I couldn't believe my eyes as this approached then passed me today in Hatyai. I didn't have time to take a pic, but this is exactly (sans signage) what it was.
I thought it was what it was, but didn't realise they have modernised them.

They don’t make me smile. In the early to mid-nineties I was a co-owner of a piling equipment sales and rental company. We had a handful of hammers doing jetty work in Laem Chabang and Ao Udom. From time to time I would leave Bangkok early in the morning and meet a Dutchman in Naklua where he would always insist on having a European breakfast at one of the smaller hotels on Naklua road.Quote:

Now to be fair, that 600cc engine can’t get a lot of speed up when there are two western expats in the car, but that didn’t stop him from trying. He would zip through traffic like he was playing a video game with inches to spare between a car in front and behind him. It used to annoy the shit out of me.
The most irritating thing was back then, they would frequently have police checkpoints in Sukhumvit road, either going to or from the jobsites. He would slow down for the officer stopping him, and then drive around him while giving a wave and giggling. That also annoyed the shit out of me.
So, no fond or smiley memories of Daihatsu Miras from me.
Prolly the 600cc 3cyl turbo engine they had in Japan.Quote:

Which is why I guessed you were a Septic.
