Hello from Rockhampton, Queensland

Hi, I had a '99 Charade smiley and a '93 Mira. Both great cars, now I’ve just bought a '96 F2 Charade to turn into a hillclimb, street sprint racer. Would there be anyone else that is in C.Q?

Thanks mate, appreciate that. Unfortunately the people done the dirty on me and sold it out from under me, back to looking for a good car.
In a few weeks I’ll ask on here again, looking for a G203 4cyl man in fair nick.

It had a DeTomaso 1600cc and box with equal length drive shafts. Ivan Tighe cam and a lightened flywheel. Engine came with a heavy clutch which was new. MoTec M84 ecu. Custom Signature sway bars and custom King springs. Phantom grip lsd, my advice to anyone thinking about buying a Phantom Grip is forget it, not worth the effort. It was fun but needed a turbo. :blush:

No power but nimble and quick through the corners.

Chassis rails pushed sideways approx 3". Bonnet, guards, front apron and radiator supports all bent.

It happened Nov '14 and I am still feeling it. A torn ligament in my left shoulder which can’t be repaired, and a stretched ligament in my right shoulder. At 90kph it turned so quick after glancing off the wall that it scraped the arse of the car on the wall in the same place as the front. It then stopped within 10m from the impact point, 90kph to 0kph in 10m. Fairly violent.

Not much info on the G11. The engine was supposedly rebuilt just before I bought it, it’s been sitting still since 2010. 998cc I think. Found more sting in my G203 so raced it instead.
