Very nice Hawk! I owned 6 or 7 over the years and ran a few Hawk Rallies on the east coast a while ago. I don't currently have a Hawk but if you have any questions or need parts, I still know a few people that have them and lots of parts. I raced one with WERA for a while when I first started...
unless you happen to be riding a motorcycle. The self driving vehicles seem to have issues with "seeing" motorcycles.
I am thinking of getting another EV for running errands and around town. Had a leaf years ago and if I can find a good deal on a cheap EV I'll get one. Putting less miles...
And going back to the OP, I worked in the tire industry for a few years and for sure I can see EV tires not lasting long. As posted heavy vehicle and lots of torque don’t help matters. My current SUV and my last SUV had between 550 and 650 lb-ft of torque and they are both brutal on tires...
My point was that many people I know that have electric vehicles could really care less about the “green” aspect of the vehicle. They bought them because they filled a need they have. I didn’t/don’t care about where the energy comes from (technically if you are in GA and are charging at night...
Every moto project I have is an hour long project turned into a weeks long project by one stripped bolt or missing screw (or lack of tiny hands to get into small spaces).
we had a leaf for about 2 and a half years. Absolutely zero maintenance. Like I replaced the wiper blades one year, filled the washer fluid a couple of time, and that was it. I replaced the tires before we turned the car back in (lease). No oil changes, no batteries, no air filters, oil filters...
saw 4 trail 70's or 90's on FB marketplace the other day. two were in good condition, one was decent and one for parts. Looked like a nice project for someone to get into a "blast from the past".
I ride my wifes Grom to the grocery store every so often, lots of fun.
mind telling us who the tuner is? Looking at 3rd gen/F56 Minis for the daughter to drive. Just starting to look around, not sure yet what she would like (2dr/4dr, etc). I'm thinking a non S model and then being able to hop it up in the future depending upon who ends up driving it more.
I'd...
Guy that I ride motorcycles with every so often has a shop and that’s all he does is British cars but mostly the SUVs.

He’s been around a long time and knows what he’s doing with them.
I had a limited 4wd sequoia for a few years. Fantastic car. Hard to find a good condition 4wd limited in the South east, took me a few months to find mine, plus I wanted the 4 captains chairs instead of the bench middle row. sold it to a guy in athens a few years ago when I got my Touareg (4wd...
MotoAmerica has a youtube channel that usually has the highlights the day or two after and then slowly releases the full race footage as time goes by.
great place to spectate and a great track to race or ride around if you ever get the chance. I've ridden and raced there a few times, it's one...
We rode a few of the trails over at Whissenhunt as well. That was slick and lots of mud holes there as well. Friend said they had gotten 2-3" the past few days when I called him on the way home. lol..
Rode with some friends in north GA this weekend. Flatlands road outside Suches on my KTM 950 SE..
wasn't expecting the mud. Hadn't rained much in ATL but buddy told me they got like 2" Friday. lol.
hard to go wrong with either one. Very few drivers can get close to the potential of most modern sports cars, even on the track.
Porsche has the euro thing going for it, while the Corvettes have always been the "bang for the buck" underdog. Friends have both and each has a unique driving...
Trick question, right? uh.... 5 days.
you know the Tesla superchargers will give you about 200 mile range in about 15 minutes.
don't get me wrong I love both of my twin turbo V8 cars (and my V10 tdi) but I will probably get an electric car for running around town (more than likely a leaf...
picked up a 2014 Mercedes GL with 26k miles. missing 2 cylinders compared to my former DD (last car was V10 twin turbo diesel Touareg). Enjoyed the drive back from CO, drives smooth. likes to drink the petrol. sounds good when you get on it and gives a nice brap between shifts. hauls the mail...
