In the description it clearly states 12 + driver so there's a heap more seats and people you aren't accounting for.

 

so it's counting a bench front seat.. yeah right who sits in the front of a limo

and the bech at the back as 3...i'm not crouding in that hard.

 

I went with 2 on the rear seat and 1 extra in each of the 6 new stand alone seats.

 

plus a driver in front.

 

could you get more, yes, would you tho..doubt it

 

Correction---

 

your right I didn't look at the pics close enough and yes there is a 2nd rear facing back seat. so lets add an extra 157kg to this...

It shouldn't sink anyway...what idiot sells out of a stock because of a one week delay to a procedure...do they even know what they are investing in?

People have sold off for dumber reasons. Also this week delay was unplanned, which is not great for morale/confidence.

Stupid people...if it said a delay due to something that is likely to ihibit success, I would accept it. A delay due to something that can easily be fixed within a week should hardly be a decider whether someone stays in a spec stock or not. The bet here is on the flow results, i.e. whether they can get profitable oil out of the ground, not how fast they can do it.

The only other reasons I can think of are short termers who hedged everything on getting an announcement this week, or people expecting a drop on any announcement and trying to beat others to the chase so they can buy in lower.

needs more low,

but yeah looks like a fun car.

Why sell it, not going to make you any real money, and you could pop it on club reg and have a weekender.

yeah the look of it is growing on me. Since ive never driven one, i cant comment on what its like the drive.
Theres a bunch of reasons why I dont want it.
- Most people convert to electric ignition because old car. I probably would want to too
- drum rear brakes.
- rust is always a concern, even if car has none visible. (not sure how im going to check the fuel tank...)
- not fast enough for my liking. fast mods is more money, less reliability. apparently they're about 1000kgs, but the nameplate says 1300kgs ??? surely not that heavy...
- electrics are pretty damn nasty. ive become pretty fastidious and would want to re-wire the entire thing, which further takes it away from "original" spec.
- I dont have space and i dont want space for more cars.
- 2x project cars and rarely being home is hard enough as it is.
- I would prefer a sunbeam Alpine if I had to choose a british coupe

If I had a mortgage or something and got rid of the gloria, then yeah, i'd probably tinker with it and hold onto it. I dont think they will fetch big money like its older cousins in the near future, so dont see it as an investment. However, its relative simplicity and cheap parts plus that old car character make it tempting...

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
    • There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows
