Errrr...nope! Wrong again. That thing has 100 HP stock. I have a D&D pipe with a Barons big air kit and I mapped it. It has an aluminum frame and handles quite will. I throw sparks from the boards to scare the Volvo's as I go by.

Talking about sparks, how about dragging some HD parts behind your ride so that you can be seen. Instead of Sprock your handle can be Sparky.LOL

Hey! Check out my chicken strips on the liner. There are much smaller now that I have gotten use to the bike. Spark city LOL.

Ah, the old 240DL eh?
The consumate boy racer vehicle of choice. Or was it duress?
What most people don't know is that when those cars were new, they'd **** on almost anything else in their class. They just got the slow grand dad image.... for what reason I really don't know. Being built like a brick dunny I guess.

Yup, There is actually suprinsingly many out there round here even today. They built them to last. Hot summers, freezing winters and a loong wet patch on both sides takes short work of japanese tinfoil-cars. I hang around quite a lot in Volvo Racing Club Finland`s forum, and have seen there some pretty mean ones too. Some of the guys actually put considerable amounts of money and manhours to their rides. It`s a pretty impressive sight to see on some trackdays when an early eighties brick of a car with the drivability of a piece of a track rail gets taken down the track, in front of a horizon-shrouding smoke cloud, side first, over 90 mph, with a deafening roar caused by a turbo, that`s taken from an old truck and had to be cut through the bonnet cuz it wont close, pushing over 800bhp, and whipping alloy metal-carbon fibre-import drifters ***** by the dozen doing so...

Gets a bit offtopic btw... sorry for that... Just came into mind when I actually witnessed that once. I remember thinking to myself: Only a finn could be that crazy...
