I feel a bit mean sticking this in here but this is my @Expat Jack ’s clear clutch cover (of which he had one too)
Truly shit that wheel. Must be an American. For the record I have purchased two second hand Panigales with the vomit inducing clear clutch covers. One was yours. The other (unbelievably) was my Panigale R. Both offending items were removed within days of purchase and I was able to breath again.
It was on a uk fb page. Guy had just bought it and I’m sure I’ve seen it on auto trader before, it offended me that much.
Even without the Spaniels head it's difficult to see much of anything in a Clubbie. *Not being down wid da kids a 'Spaniels Head' isn't a euphonism for something else is it?
. posted this up years ago. this was the new starts car at the time. still with us and quite possibly the best nuts and bolts engineeringy type tech in the country.
. a mate built and completed one of these back in the day. he did a nice job of it too. i guess it helped that his oldman had a workshop/spray booth in the back of Howood. tidy paintwork and from a 100 paces you would be hard pushed to spot the difference between it and a factory job. until you started it. just a tuned up 1300 A series engine. pretty quick up to about 50mph but the air resistance from the spoilers ect wouldn't allow it to get much over 70 so he sold it to a local who wrote it off shortly after. i wish i still had a pic of my black and white hand painted with hammarite mini. thinking back on it it really was a piece of shit that i wouldn't let my kids go anywhere near, let alone in these days. however, it did have nice wheels and a good 1300 engine. i can confirm that it only had a negative affect in my pursuit of getting laid but hay, money was tight in the late 80's. the highlight of it was this painted by a v,arty mate ballooned up to the full size of the roof. that at least was awesome.
Just for info, in case anyone is passing and fancies a look whilst drinking Coffee. There is what I believe to be a genuine 6R4 in a big Glass Case in the garden of Caffeine and machine Hampshire.
Speaking of white...it has reminded me that I meant to upload this. Yes, I know it's a Ferrari, but who the fuck specs one in white? The only explanation is that they're an American or they run a small building firm and they were planning to have it sign-written with the name of the business. The driver might have escaped being condemned to this page of shame but for the fact that he was a total tool. We both left the car park of the animal hospital at the same time, with him ahead of me. However, on the way out of the hospital campus, firstly, he stopped at a junction and just started browsing his phone, either not knowing or not caring that I was stuck behind him; secondly, he then drove up a one way road in the wrong direction; thirdly, that mistake meant I ended ahead of him when we exited the campus and so I had him up my 2005 Mini Cooper S's chuff for several miles of NSL country roads because he would drop back under braking for corners, catch up to me on the exit and then attach himself to my rear bumper on the straights, but he didn't have the bottle to overtake me.
