Touch of Class [1978] [REVIEW POSTED]

[BlastersPewPew]

Quick fact, typewriters originally had only the numbers 2-9, 1 and 0 were used by hitting the l and o key since they looked so much alike back then. By not including dedicated keys for them the whole machine was simpler and more reliable.

Ok boring part over

Maybe, but mechanical typewriters have been obsolete for quite a while

Tell that to my keyboard.......damned thing sounds like one... CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK!!!! Sometimes I expect a little DING! when I type, it sounds so much like an old typewriter. Even trying to just type quietly/slowly brings out a clack although not as loud as when I type normally. Wonder if it has a never ending supply of those snap things you throw on the ground.

Hopefully I'm in time for the competition: if I am, allow me to present the Packbat Auto Works Jubatus PE*.

* Pretty Expensive.

In keeping with PAW's habitual small displacements, the Jubatus PE pulls 170 HP out of a turbocharged 2.5L triple-carb inline-six. In keeping with the target market, the suspension is ludicrously soft.

That said, PAW probably won't be taking home any fuel economy honors this time.

my car in non-US spec version haves 32ohp, hits a hundred in less than 7 seconds and spends less fuel! and thats with the 3 speed auto

hahha, was so hard to get such a low output from such a big engine!

It is actually quite easy with fairly low cams.

Heck, by choking it with the exhaust, I was able to get sub 200HP with a 10.9L engine.

Also, quick question, are you having problems with your "0" key? You are very obviously using a lower case "o" instead of zeros and it is somewhat confusing.

yes! thats what i done, but the torque curve looks so much like a truck's engine or a diesel, it comes in a big lump and then fades away! had to lower maximum revs also, they got it so wrong at that time! taking 15o hp from more than 5 liters and fitting 3 gears autos, absurdly heavy cars, such a lazy engineering, it hurts on my mechanical engineers' heart!

and yes! my zero is problematic, someone and I don't know who spilled water on my notebook!

Making an odd and likely to fail attempt at discount luxury, I introduce the Shade Motor Corp (SMC) Landkruiser Mk1





With innovative features such as a dual fill gas tank it will redefine the world of luxury!

[BlastersPewPew]

Shaded, you need to PM VicVictory the files instead of putting them here

[Shaded009]

Sorry new here and clearly a bit stupid since I can't make my image show no matter how many ways I try, not much of a forum user...

[VicVictory]

If you have an imgur link or something like that, you can hit the IMG button above and put the URL between the two bracketed sections.

Or if you have a screen shot saved to your computer you can upload the attachment into your post and then hit "post inline".

I got your file. I'll check it out later.

Rennen joins the fray with the 1978 Rennen Superbia. Powered by a 3.8L inline-6, the Superbia is the definition of balanced.

[SeriousSimon]

Dat Landcruiser Mk1 though. classy as fuck!

And the Superbia looks.. uh.. superb! Really does!

Romanov has received two phone calls during the last week. One, saying that a new competition for cars from all over the world was on the way. The second, saying that Romanov wasn't allowed to participate, due to recent results.
Not gonna lie, some curse words echoed through the factory that day. Ultimately, Romanov decided to present an honour entry, nonetheless.

The Romanov Schokolad is.. well there may have been some alcohol involved in the process of creating the car. How else would one create a hand made alu chassis, powered by a 2.7 liter i6... with a turbo..
172 hp, while almost hitting 30 miles per gallon and carefully styled premium interior.

Here is the Schokolad, the sweetest temptation since cars were made of chocolate. (Wat?)

[VicVictory]

Nicely done by Rennen and Romanov! (even if Romanov gets a points-only lookover)

Presenting the 1978 LHE Tiara Marque.







Edit: I wonder if I derped, or if the boards are being weird, I thought I uploaded the file, but it is not showing up in the PM I sent to Vic on my end. Guess I'll wait to see if there is an issue.

[Leonardo9613]

Wait, I can send my car even though I'm not allowed to take part?

[TrackpadUser]

Talking about that, I don't know if you didn't do it in the last one because oppositelock didn't send you his files or something else, but one thing that could be interesting for those who are out due to constantly placing very well, is that you accept their files, and put their score in the sheet at the end so they can know where they would have placed (like between 3rd and 4th.)

Although it depends on how easy it is for you, as it would obviously require a tad more work.
