scooby_doo_do Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Well, this is what i've now gone and bought.... (pics not that good as they are the only one's i've taken as yet before a good wash and polish) http://www.tripkings.co.uk/ultima The first test drive was down to Le Mans and back, totaling 1100 miles... car's only covered 3,800 now :-) Got a few niggly bits but other than that i'm loving it. The missis hate's it... So not doing too much mileage, but i never did in the cerbera either so i don't care.... Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliAl Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Lucky you Do you have any idea on performance stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 not too sure - i think the 0-60 is about 3.4 but i'm still nursing it and driving it like a wimp. Mainly because i've spent all my money on it, and can't afford to fix it when it brakes. One thing i really like about it, is that it's so easy to work on - i mean i think you can take the entire car apart with a screwdriver and a set of alan keys. The engine's all been polished so that looks all nice at the moment - i'll get some more pics at the weekend once i've washed and waxed it - and tried to trace the oil/clutch/brake leaks ;-) Thanks Craig.

Thorin Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Very nice, wish I could afford one of those for a track day toy. You gotten used to right handed gear shifts now then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Yeah - right hand drive is remarkably easy - it took say about 20 miles before i got use to it, but now it's a doddle. I want to see about getting a different set of seats as well, as being 6"3 they are slightly too big (meaning i sit up higher than normal) and they aren't on runners so bolted straight through the floor. Ultima do a set with minimal padding to get you low in the car - but if anyone has any other suggestions for a set of seats i'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
