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

Thanks ... thought I was missing something

Fairly easy, the white car, not the VW ...



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.

^Uh-huh. Here's a pic taken almost at the same intersection, and another heading South from there. Double points if you can tell me what car I'm driving just from these 2 pics

And another car enjoying the golden southport sunshine.

A more modest car this time (the silver one). What is it?

^Early model Jazz?.

That's a well known intersection on this forum

A Pajero?



...

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.
