The Cyclone. #589. I am not a purist as you can see, if you close out back, this truck is on all Coil-Overs.

I saw an older lady driving a Syclone today. Have seen it before in the area but from a distance. Gotta find it and buy it after selling my left and maybe right nut?

Syclones were cool in their day, but drive an Audi S4 with a tune like I had and you will throw rocks at a Syclone. 🤣

 

Notice the huge 6-piston calipers needed to get it back to reasonable speed after flooring it for 6 or 7 seconds.  😁

This thing is starting to be delivered.  I personally think it's one ugly-ass vehicle that is massively over priced.  Just IMHO, of course.

We are of the same opinion. I should investigate where in New Mexico you can charge an electric vehicle if you should happen to travel through this lefty, California wanna be state.

 

 

 

But I don't think I could possibly care less.

 

Here, have a pic of a GAS powered truck.

Wow look at the cute Audi, Yeah I have 6 pistons brakes on all 4 corners and bigger turbo and bigger intercooler and bigger bigger bigger.  It will not stop. I will not be beat, and if I am well ill fix that.lol

This is what I replaced the S4 with after my wife totaled it. A 2015 Q7 Diesel.

This eats A4s, Syber Fucks, and the flat billed Yankee fans who drives it. Just IMHOP of course...

                  When I see one like this,I (first) think how ugly the front end is,& how much depreciation it'll have

down the road,& how many really cool vehicles I could buy for that money.

 

[paradime]

First thought, How did a 4,000lb Euro sedan get in to truck porn & how much dirt can I haul in the trunk & why do I have the urge to throw rocks at it? 🤣

[goes2fast]

It's obvious that some people's taste is all in their mouths. Also how many of you guys have a 5,400 lb Suv that gets over 30 mpg on the highway?

[angliagt]

 

          And how many of us have no desire to own one?

[paradime]

My wife's 3,100lb KIA Niro plugin hybrid rarely sees a gas station. My 2,000lb 400hp SR20 swapped 510 tastes like hot buttered victory salted with European tears.

Saw this yesterday in the central Bahamas. Had beautiful stainless wheel tubs in the bed because I guess that is what gave out first then the sea air took over in returning it to the earth. It is a Morris Minor and the engine actually didn't look to bad but it has been relegated to " Yard Art" status. 

The blue one was mounted on what looked like a fj 40 frame with a little 4 banger mounted in it. I don't think they do swaps out here for fun. More like desperation for transportation.

Lots of driver errors but still amazing Euro diesel trucks. 😁

Yessir. 1981 model, 1981 ironically being the year the Oklahoma oilfield went tits up hard.
