Title: The ludicrousness thread
Post by: Petrus on April 10, 2020, 20:46
Quite a few of us are having time on our hands and all of us can use a smile so...

Post your ludicrous car thing! By all means apply your own definition of ludicrous.

For mé a Royalegg with 1000 hp on the public road or a schoolrun Maserati SUV are conceptually ludicrous but that is nót what I mean.

The Ferrari stuck between the walls of a country road, thát is ludicrously funny.
Bosozoku is ludicrous fun, 26" spinner rims on an offroad ditto, 20 section tyres on a BMW, you get it.

Mind, NÓ judgement because as long as it is not blatantly unsafe it is all taste and adding up to a wonderful diversity!

I will kick it off:

I guess one of my previous cars the Renault Avantime would qualify
Renault tried to pitch it as a luxury end rival to the Germans but it was very marmite only 400 sold in the UK, I just loved it's outlandish looks it had a button that dropped all the windows and glass roof in one go

Thanks guys.

Yes, bikes do as do women  :-[  O:-)

Yesterday evening the ´news´ was that the quantaine is extended to 10th of MAY!!! :o  :o  :o  :o  :o

I weally, weally, wéally need to sigh about that.
It´s what it is ofcourse and I am relatively privaledged on a farm in the campo unlike may in a flat.
It álso is rather a brutal difference from my normally semi nomadic life a lót more out there than the norm.

Threads with the lighter gems of life are uplifting so thanks.

Oh dárn; again no lighweight bonnet or engine deck in sales corner....

Quote from: mr2noob on April 20, 2020, 18:32Btw., did you solve the issue of the engine lid not popping up due to the weight of the wing?

Yes.
Took 600 grams of the wing, lubed hinges/catch and then screwing out the rubber stops just a weeee bit did the trick.
