Hoovies garage is turning into wheeler dealers, except without the profit :D

[@Therian_Lola_4.3]

ha

[@Lexor888]

When did the wheeler dealers ever make a profit on a car? Usually they paid x amount of money on the car and y amount of money on parts and sold it for x+y+200 bucks... They never calculated any expenses for the garage and mechanics hours into the bill - they made a loss on any car they had on that show.

Would have sold mine years ago and stuck to hassle free, low cost super reliable Japanese motoring. Nothing sounds like a naturally aspirated Maserati V8 though. And you have a very rare colour example there. Bordeaux Pontevecchio is one of "THE" colours to get with the cream interior. Nice vid!

Ironically for an Italian V8, this thing has a crossplane crank; only the Ferrari V8s were equipped with a flat plane crank, which makes them sound a lot different. It sounds more like an American or a conventional European V8, especially at idle. With only about 400 HP and even less torque in a car that weighs in over 4000 lb, it's all show and no go.

Absolutely superb design, but built from egg boxes and old tat. I've had 2 of these. The main problem is the throttle potentiometers, above the gas pedal. They are made with a plastic strip covered in carbon. A metal pointer tracks up and down and wears the carbon away meaning the engine is at full power or tickover. Replacement costs £2000. Then there's the seals, bearings and ancillaries. Rich man's car, but lovely.
