[nopanic - neil]

Oh yes it's Friday, I need a beer and alos to see a smart car.

What can you tell me about this one.

[Nordic]

1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic styled by Ghia.

Out of 12 Supersonic bodies, created by the Ghia factory, 8 were based on a chassis of the Fiat 8V,
one was put on a chassis of an Aston-Martin, and 3 were based on a Jaguar XK120.

Back again

On with a nice looking one, what can you tell me about it.

[Lorry]

Deronda Type-F?

Bit of a copy of the Atom, but with Audi 1.8T mechanics, some bodywork and Toyo tyres rather than Yokohamas

Kit car

Correct so far, but what was the diffrence with the yank one?

[Lorry]

The odd thing about it is the in-line engine, from using the old Audi gearbox, but they now seem to use A4/6 mechanics, which are transverse, like the Atom/Elise etc.

And the odd thing about the US version is that the steering wheel is on the other side.

It must be the only car to be built in Detroit at the minute

OK the main bit I want was, as its an American made car now, they wanted an American engine, they have dropped the Auid engine and now put in a  small Corvette-sourced 6.0-liter V-8.

And now the next one, you lot have been getting them a bit to easy, so here's a harder one (I hope)

What can you tell me about this one?

[Nordic]

Biodiesel GM Eco - Jet.

Powered by a Honeywell LT-101 turbine engine and based on a corvette chassis a bit of a concept car but its should be able to crack 200mph and do the 1/4 mile jsu over 10sec.

The car was on Jay Leno's show and I think he now owns it and runs it on the road.

Reminds me of the Homett.

Well I thought I would get a bit longer,

Correct, the car is a Eco-Jet, a bio-diesel jet powered engine car.

Even though it has been built with the help of GM, and its top engineers, its still being built in Leno's garage (and it a bloody big one). Looks fun though, they have had some major problems of burning out and eatting, brakes, torque converter and the stuff. They now have it running, the next major problem is to make the exhaust quieter.

Oh the fun,  having all those toys.

back soon witht he next.

[nopanic - neil]

OK back, not done interiors for a while.

So what can you tell me about this one, its a nice and easy one.

I want, Make, model, and mileage

I came across this one in San Francisco earlier in the year.
No idea what it is, it did look nice though, in a wonderful 70's sort of way.
The back seat was quite clean.
