Looks like a retro Renault Douphine?

Nissan Figaro, IIRC

[TRE Cup]

The Figaro was a modern late 80's retro design by nissan. They also built a really cool cargo van called the escagot (snail in frog language)

[techweenie]

Retro-cool inside, too.

them figaro's are everywhere over here-especially in the trendy seaside towns and london. 1 litre three cylinder turbo charged engines (i think) Ive always wondered what one would look like with fuchs and about a three inch drop.......

[Jim Bremner]

I'd like to say thanks for all of the fun yesterday!
I was the "Yankee in King Arther's court" driving the '67 mustang fastback

All of the people that my son and I meet made us feel right at home! thanks again...Jim

Carmad, get that car back together! Good Lord did that burble coming from the pipes sound great!

[TRE Cup]

Jim
Cool seeing that fastback bombing around! What's the motor in that beast?

p.s. - sorry to blast your ears with my squeally brakes !

hope you can join us again

[techweenie]

My favorite car there was Duane Hyatt's RS #376. Viper Green with a Kremer 3.0. Went over that puppy in great detail and couldn't find a flaw -- in today's market, a quarter-million dollar car. And he drives it like it should be driven.

Didn't get a photo. I imagine other folks that made it to Pepperdine or Duke's parking lot did...

[TRE Cup]

Duan had debuted that car just after the resto at GAF this past September. Very nice indeed.

[adomakin]

anyone got any photos of the car?

[Jim Bremner]

Ha-Ha what squeaky brakes? I was deaf from listening to the engine in my car, plus the rear gear noise,wind sound & a little bit of belt noise.

The engine's a 331 ci or for the metric folks it's ..5.5 liter

I wish that it was fuel injected, it was running a Little rough
between 1700-2300 rpm.
I wished that I pulled out the Msd rev limiter I bounced off of it a couple of times down pch

You 911 guy's sure have it nice on the wet stuff having all of the engine/transaxle weight over the drive wheels I had a lot of work pedaling the car trying to keep traction

[Chuck Miller]

This from Duke's parking lot...

[techweenie]

I found a shot of the car from the 2005 Hangover Rally. Must've been pre-restoration...

The Porsche just went into Kevin's shop for paint, so I would have had to take the grandpa car. Still, that was the plan -- except that I ended up needing to sleep off the previous night's, er, activity.

I'm bummed that I missed it, though. Next year, somebody unlock the trunk.
