10 Years on as well...

[GiddyUp]

Saw Rod's post and tried to find one of my first pics of my 02 Busa. (My second Busa)


Not sure if it was mid life crisis then or if it's mid life crisis now???
Still have the old Busa, but prefer to drive the Z4 now? WTF?




The original. (And the best)

Spewing I had to crash it............The End

Don't be ashamed of the Z4 mate....I drove a friend of mines' Z4 and it was a bloody good toy, but now he's got a Porsche Boxster and it's nice to drive too (not too good for day-to-day driving, but fun nonetheless).

WOW NICE 01
I have never seen a Black n Blue before.
Cheers Dave

Looks Good Phil

[BikerBoy]

With 170,000+ klms on a Busa to your name, who needs to justify what you spend your time travelling in as long as you enjoy it.
The black n blue looks awesome!!

So do you still look the same 10 yrs on ?

Re:So do you still look the same 10 yrs on ?

Old age definately caught up with me! Big Time...

The Busa is holding her age better.

My hair turned grey, my eye sight went, I'm old and frail and the arthritis from my Busa crash gives me hell. That aside, all is good!

What's the main differences between the Mini & the Clio, Busgo?

[BUSGO]

Hi Craig, The Clio has much more space both inside the cabin and also the boot but the car is actually 35kg lighter.
The engine is an awesome 2 litre naturally aspirated 4cyl but race tuned by the Renault Sports factory in Dieppe. Output is 203hp (BASE) most cars off the production line are dyno'd beyond the claimed output. 215nm torque.
The torque curve is flat from just over 2000rpm to redline at 8000rpm and the upshift warning sounds at maximum power output of 7400rpm automatically.
The cup chassis is super strong with a flat line around just about every bend. Front and rear sway bars are standard as are Brembo brakes.
This car is made for the track but adapted to the road with all the latest mods as standard. Oh BTW.. Recaro seats are stock as well.
The drive is smooth and quiet whereas the mini was so firm that it was a bit unstable on bumpy surfaces. The resonators incorporated into the rear bumper give a lovely purr at all speeds.
Sighhhhh.... I'm in love again hehehe.
The MINI Cooper S was a fantastic sports car. This car is beyond awesome.

Busgo if u wanted space power and fuel ecconomy u should have bought a Nissan Xtrail dci. trips 5.6 ltr per 100, mine is chipped , makes 400 nm at the wheels, goes like a V8 (5.7).
