Kiwi LE is Famous

[Kiwi XTR2]

How about we hear from the man himself . . .

[GravelBen]

Hmm sounds intriguing...

[kylie]

Is he on that Road Patrol program talking to Mr Plod

The suspence.....Dean tell us!

[Esprit]

Let's just say that this month you might be able to spot a bit of meat amongst the rice

[Kiwi le]

I plead the fifth on the grounds...........that I haven't seen it ?

[Kiwi XTR2]

I believe it's available at 24hr Petrol Stations.

Caaammoooon!! Showus the link, pic, movie film star

Well here are a few teasers -

NZPC Mag said:

"What do you do when your Lotus Elise is let down by a crap factory engine?"

NZPC Mag said:

"Within seconds of owning the car, Dean knew the raw, mind-numbing 118 bhp produced by the standard 1800cc Rover K motor wasn't going to cut the mustard"

I think Dean has some serious explaining to do . . .

Anyone with a copy who would be kind enough to scan it for me? Sounds like the only car featured in NZPC that I'd be really interested in for the last 2+ years. Cheers.

[Kiwi XTR2]

I don't have a scanner any more. If nobody else can come through for you I can visit a friend and blag a scan on the weekend.

For those Rover K owners - I never said that ! it's the freedom of the press thingy again. I loved my old K - it was just gutless thats all...... :-)

All I can say is a need to go on a diet and get a tan !!!
OK going back to the garage - track day in Manfield and I'm taking the family...first track day for the daugther !!! teach her some bad habits !

[iain a]

Kiwi LE - are you at the Friday trackday at Manfield??? I'm there too in the green & yellow Caterham7
Could this turn into a mini PH meet???

[dejoux]

Having known several people who have had cars featured the storys never match reality, its all poetic licence.

Havnt seen it yet, will have to check it out

[iwilson]

While we're waiting for Dean to sort his sh*t out and post up a scan. I had my Honda powered Elise featured in a Dutch car mag - Autovisie.




Haven't got a clue what it say's which is probably fortunate!

I knew that was Frank talking, not you.... just means next trackday I'll have to show him exactly how close I can stick to his highly worked B18 with a mere 118bhp

[renn68]

are you saying that size doesn't matter cos' you know what you are doing with it ?

No, Frank's got a B18-powered Civic

I'm saying superior chassis engineering wins on the day

For those unable to get a copy...

[Kiwi XTR2]

My favourite bit -

Age: Old


Where was it shot Dean ?

[Kiwi le]

I am old !!! to old to be playing with cars according to my Gran !

Just got back from Manfield, had a great time, meet up with Ian & Don (yep - a mini PH meet) who are both top blokes, had a good hoon around Manfield which is a great little track, bit lumpy in bits, but add's to it character.....

As for the article, I supplied a spec sheet, the artistic writing is none of my doing....
And no I don't want to put on wide bodied fenders....!
Target audience for that article....just remember INXS....not Dire Straits so I'll say no more !

Was shot down the water front by the TNZ base.
