Title: I'm only picking this little beauty up tonight !
Post by: gibby on 07 September 2006, 10:06
Right then, those of you that were at E38 and were probably bored of me going on about it know all about my not so secret secret. I don't have the car yet as I'm travelling to Cambridge tonight to pick it up, I'm also awaiting my keys to my new house so I will not be about much for the next week or so, but jv sent me some pics of it the other day and I thought it only fair to show you lot.  :grin: There's not much to say really other than I went to see it, fell in love with it, Nick who's selling it is such a sound guy that I nearly offered him the asking price without actually driving it !  :shocked: Once jv and myself had taken it for a blast last Saturday then there was no way I was leaving without doing a deal, compared to the cab (oh and the camper :laugh: ) it felt like I was driving a rocket ! :evil:

It's red and to quote the girfriend, "It's a bit brash!" but that just makes me love it even more !  :kiss: I'm not even going to try to tell you about the whistle of the supercharger !  :evil:

Anyway, enough waffle, here's some pics. The last two are the best ones.  :smiley:

Rallye muppet number four should be arriving at a forum near you in the very near future. :grin:

Plans are to run it as it is for a while, it's been fettled with the usual stuff, so chip (with 500rpm extra rev range  :evil:), pulley, exhaust, ported & polished head with Autotech G60 cam so there's nothing to do engine wise without some serious coin, but I'll be on the look out for some nice new wheels around spring time. Hope you like it. :afro:

Thanks. :cool: I know it needs new wheels but there's no point until I get the winter out of the way and then I'll be on the lookout. :grin: At least when I do get some I don't have to buy any winter wheels. :wink: They do actually look better in the flesh than they do in the pic though.

dat is well bad man. where did you get that bodykit from, and are the corrado headlights hard to fit ?

Bodykit is Wulfscheesyburgers own init dude, do you no nuffin ! Corrado lights were a b1tch, had to grind (and bump) them down and use sticky back plastic and erryfin. :laugh:

lol - I realised at E38 that I really do know diddly squat about wheels so it looks like the resident wheel geeks (jv & joe) will be getting pestered a lot in the new year. I reckon it will take me longer to choose some that it took Dinx. :shocked:

I think I can accomodate a small blast.  :wink: Wheels I know about and I've said earlier, but I actually quite like the exhaust to be honest, ok it's not "fashionable" so who knows if that will get changed or not.  :undecided:

Only a few hours to go.  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Right then, I've been away for a week or so since I picked it up due to moving house etc etc but I'm back, for a few days anyway, until I go to Ibiza on Friday (it's a hard life ! :grin: ), anyway, as for the Rallye, what can I say, as jv has said I had a big grin all the way up the A1 back to Yorkshire.  :grin: I love it, it's everything I thought it would be, I don't know what it's running BHP wise, but it makes my cab look really slooooooooooooooooooooooow ! Boot it and it flies !  :grin:

The funny thing is that I've been driving it really steady, and I mean steady (I'm talking driving miss daisy)for a couple of reasons, one because the speedo is in kph so I'm just learning my 16 times tables  :rolleyes: and secondly because I reckon if a big bright red corrado lighted, body kitted, Rallye badged mk2 flies past the cops at slightly over the speed limit I reckon I'm getting pulled.  :undecided:

I've not driven my cab since I bought the Rallye and I doubt it will get much of a look in now anway.  :evil:
