Of course you are right Yellow Fever. The engineering was top class. I also remember Yellow Peril (the "urban art" no one wanted) and you've got the road going version Mick?
I agree on getting the unsprung weight down. Some of heavy brake/wheel combos must feel pretty ugly on undulating roads - ie almost anywhere in Australia. Drive a GQ Nissan Patrol quickly over a few bumps on a bend to feel what I mean. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mick Ralph" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 10:07 PM Subject: Re: Biggest rear tyres ever on 510? > Hey Richard > Yellow fever not yellow peril....
