Good work, Clay!

Clay,

 

Nice write-up... altho only a 6/10 for acceleration with your M42 engine in a 1600 shell!  I disagree and I know you have any troubles getting your car up to speed on a freeway. 

 

See you in NC on Friday - safe travels.

just read the review. they should have scored it higher! great car! (i'm writing this post while on the most boring client conference call ever. i thought i'd share.)

[Rocan]

Definitely should have scored it higher! The m42 is more than enough to get onto a highway... heck, a stock m10 is enough if you know how to wind it out properly

 

Travis is supposed to be reviewing my girlfriends fathers Delta 88 convertible in a few weeks time... I was going to see if I could tag along and convince him to take my 02 out.

Very cool!  Congrats.

Very cool.

Killed it on the character score, which is no surprise. Love the look of the roof rack and the fog lights. 

[SamAdams]

Very cool indeed. Congrats Clay.

Was he referring to the rear brakes when he said you converted them to discs? Because I was under the impression that they all came with discs and drums only on the rear.

 

He absolutely nailed the character bit.

 

I'm surprised he didn't say anything about the bluff edges combined with the upright position and the clear sightlines in every direction.

judging by the article and it's pics, your car comes across as honest and super-versatile and it made me want to go for a drive in mine.

Congrats Clay.   Interesting background information too.

Yes, he was referring to the rear discs. When asked, I flooded him with the parts list for the entire brake setup......might have been a bit too much information!
