Default New toy

Hey took our new toy to Oran Park today, private practice ran on the south circuit got down to 52.1 sec , not bad for a first run , have to invest in some big brakes had trouble slowing down with the stock Sprinter brakes.

Quicker than the Cobra too
Might have to enter it at the next cobra events


YouTube - Sprinter

Hey coco his balls are like peanuts, your balls are like little peas,
mine and your dads are a lot bigger, and they will always be bigger
remember that as you grow.

As for the pitcrew your in !!

Default Ahem..

I think Coco is on the money there daddy! ...

Take a look in the memory of the lap timer and give me some credit

55 sec. not a bad pass for someone with balls the size of peanuts, first time ever driving on a race track with the ass end out on more than half the corners

With a few lessons from the "senior" driver i think ill be up to speed in no time

What do u rekon?

hahahaha

But I've got to give him credit he did well first time out actually,can't let you be quicker imagine your head wont fit in the car

Hey Rich it is a bit ugly after you get used to looking at cobra's etc on here,
makes up for it with speed and handling, so much fun to drive

Wow,
That's strange... It looks like you are sitting in the wrong side of the car and driving counter-clockwise on the track....as if you were on the other side of the world or something? So, in "opposite world" the Toyotas are fast?

Not all Toyota's, It's a toyota with a 2 litre Nissan Turbo engine in it, sr20det makes just on 180 kw stock, still needs mods to the engine that'll come later
