These domestic competitors killed the high-end Opels in the early nineties. Triumphant season for the Speed Cars, winners of Division III, CarCross and the overall championship.

I can imagine how slow the thing had to be with original Powerglide two-speed, but thankfully, the 200R4 made things a bit more sprightly. – it wasn’t capable of going flat out on the Autobahn for extended periods of time without frying the engine.

A failing business meant debts to pay – and a lot of them.

The Comet was pushing the envelope in aeronautical engineering. Wins for the Speed Cars of Aranda in the Division III and Moll in Car Cross at the third round of the Spanish championship, De María, in the Division III, and Moll, in CarCross, won for Speed Car at the second round of the Spanish championship, Three out of three for Speed Car at the first round of the Spanish championship. I nearly sold it for peanuts, when I realized I didn’t try Germany. He has never owned a diesel, manual wagon. In the 70’s it was fairly common for club racers to use a 1.6 liter Japanese pickup truck to haul a sedan racer on a heavy US style car trailer.

Yet another podium in Category 2 for Castillo and the Speed Car GTR. It took a while, but I got home before dark. not very fast but it would. And he was supposed to bring his own fuel. I also thought the car was stalking me because I’d see it at least 3 times a day, in the most random places…and because that’s how my brain works, I never stopped to consider that the people driving the car could be stalking me. 3,500 lbs of sand.

If we dismiss the obvious stuff, like fuel consumption(circa 10 to 16mpg) and its enormous size, there was still the other white elephant – it’s a hot rod. Those of you who live in good old US of A are probably familiar with what a Chevy Small Block with glasspacks sounds like. And the funny part was that it wasn’t even fast. I hope you have a lot of friends, because you will lose one after another every time they do you a favor. Yeah.

Edgar Montellà forth in the category 2 with the Speed Car GTR at the first round of the national series. And then you call him an idiot on this site and leave him stranded in Hungary? Cruising (way) over 100 mph each and every day is a different story. If they waited a little bit longer, and kept the Daewoo name for old models, only selling stuff like Cruze, Spark and new Aveo (which should’ve been called Sonic in Europe as well), they could’ve persuaded people that those cars are really different. For the next half a century, those were totally unrelated events. But non of it mattered, because, oh, boy, it was fun to drive. At the same time, István fixed up his Opel.

I guess your reverse Corvette required comb over got in the way of reading that his friend owed him money. Opel was THE typical Joe Average car (Kadett and Ascona), so the big Opels suffered from a complete lack of snob appeal so to say.

More success for Speed Car: Joan De María wins the Division III, Juan José Moll gets on the Car Cross podium.

For the rest of you, it is best likened to four Harley-Davidson motorcycles with loud pipes, running in unison. It didn’t work, because I chose the wrong car. sur Discogs. @Joss With a 4 speed manual, granny gear (6.32:1 first gear ), and 4:10 rearend ratio. ”, Source: http://www.motortrend.com/features/112_0506_favorite_small_block/. While JFK was busy capturing the hearts of the German people with his Ich bin ein Berliner speech, the GM engineers at Rüsselsheim were busy at work finishing their next big project – the series of full-size (on European scale) luxury models, called Kapitän, Admiral and Diplomat.

Very “Mid-Atlantic” as the Brits say. De María second in Division III with the SPEEDCAR TTR and Moll second in CarCross with the Xtrem. Discover (and save!)

@krhodes1 Remember, best to keep your mouth shut and look the fool than open it and confirm it. De María wins the Division III with the Speed Car TTX.

More success for Speed Car: Treble in Junior, Moll still leading in Car Cross, Aranda first in division III. Introduced in February of 1964, the new models were meant to take on Mercedes-Benz, though they shared something in common with contemporary America cars, in that they were really just one car, offered in different equipment levels, and with different engine options. The big Opels had only one major problem: the brand name.

None of this 15-30 minutes business like in Australia, no it takes like an hour and a half to w hours for the sun to rise so it’s currently fairly dark until about 8am…and it gets later everyday.

Edgar Montella back in the category 2 podium with the Speed Car GTR. …… and thus we witness from a first hand account the very early stages of the beginning of what promises to be the eventual end of OPEL [ and Vauxhall ] Both victims of having a relationship with the ever clueless Black Widow Spider of the automotive world known as GM .

Remember, back in ‘them days’, they didn’t have computer modeling like we have now. Yet more success for Speed Car at the national series: Arqué wins with the Xtrem in Carcross, Aranda again on the podium in the Division III with the TTR. The trip itself would be quite uneventful, with the exception of my idiot friend conveniently “forgetting” he was meant to do it for free (to repay some money he owed me), and needing me (totally broke at the time – partly because of said idiot’s actions, like blowing up transmission and differential in my Chevy Caprice) to pony up the fuel money.

When I offered it for sale, no one in Czech Republic wanted it – even when I lowered the price way under its worth. Recommended by The Wall Street Journal Fith position in the category 2 for Edgar Montellà with the Speed Car GTR.

After a failed adventure with importing classic American cars to Europe, he is utterly broke, so he drives a borrowed Lincoln Town Car. Most lived their lives on Germany’s roads and Autobahns, but some went to other countries. The Diplomat V8 engine was apparently not a standard Chevy small block.

Its size, equipment and power put it somewhere between American compacts and midsize cars of the time, like a smaller 1964 Chevelle, with a dash of Buick styling. The same guy who designed the Diplomat designed the Holden HD in 62.
