See yourself in there anyone! :? :D
Nope :obscene-birdiedoublered:
I only play on rev comps and they don't have many cars that I'd actually like to win nowadays.

I'd like tonight's Merc, but no way in hell am I playing at £85 a ticket :crazy: :crazy:

Not my thing but I think a few of you are fans? 65p a ticket...

Aprilia RS660 Limited Edition
The RS660 ticks all the superbike by being fast, exciting and feeling like a mini RSV4 in the corners. Coming with a huge tech package, consisting of factory Quickshifter, variable factory power maps, and even adjustable wheelie control, the RS660 really lets the rider control how they want to ride.
The striking livery is inspired by the American flag, with alternating colours, stars and stripes adding yet more visual punch to the bike’s dynamic character. The colour scheme replicates the special graphics sported by Twins Cup champion rider Kaleb De Keyrel in his appearance on the Vallelunga racing track. The occasion was the final stage of the Aprilia RS 660 Trophy where he was invited to participate in recognition of his stunning victory on American soil.
We are giving you the chance to win this RS660 Limited Edition for as little as 65p! Grab tickets whilst you can!
2022 Model
Only 3k Miles
3 Months Warranty
659cc Parallel Twin Engine

Targas are for people too bent for a hard top, but not good looking enough to rock a convertible, are they not?

They're probably the cheapest variant second hand, so they've got that going for them.

Yeah Speedster is a totally different kettle of fish.

Can't claim encyclopedic knowledge of 911 prices but from memory Targas are just a bit weird and lose value. Realistically why would you buy one? Other than to be a hard-core 911 nerd.

Back in the 80s the Targa was a better car than the 911 turbo. It was five speed, no turbo lag, nicer feeling brakes etc. The Turbo looked better with its big rear arches but was 4 speed (iirc) and just not as nice to drive. Fecking flew in a brutal sort of way though! :D

The targa was popular as a lot of convertibles back then were leaky, windy rag tops. So to pop the roof panel out and get soem sun but have a water tight roof option was better. I didn't even know they still made targas today! I've not noticed any about?

One of the (German) old boys I work with was one of the original architects of the dual clutch flappy paddle 'box in the 90s for F1...the dual clutch 'box was originally built for F1, but for esoteric reasons they took out the second clutch but kept all the rest of it. That's how F1 and MotoGP boxes work to this day.

Anywhoo....he prefers traditional epicyclic boxes like you get in a Saloon :D

Do they make any with cheesy body kits? I think they are compulsory for these raffles.

2 part selection process. But a ticket to any comp with a cash alternative to fit the Sprinter asking price. Win comp. Claim cash. Buy Sprinter. :thumbup:
