Is it me or does it look like the struts have been done away with and rams attached to the wishbones?!?! It never had struts - wishbones up front and solid axle out back. It uses one of the Rayvern-conceived fluid displacement systems for suspension. Ram mounted solidly to axle which disperses fluid to another ram acting on a coil in the boot. The movement of fluid does the damping and gives an accepable ride. People tend to use accumlators these days, but it gives the same effect. Nice car by the way, although I told you that on Lo-rdz already

seen this for sale and wanted - good man Topi for not resisting! I remember that article in Street Machine - did this have a white fur interior with diamond-type stones in the gauges? Yes it did, then the seats were redone when the respray in the Proton Gold was carried out by Markie after he bought it from Ed. The Datty had been languishing outside Ed's for ages, so needed a bit of TLC and a colour change. Topi, I hope you've seen the car and know what to expect, I hear the car is a bit 'tired' now, esp the hydraulics.

Yeah I've seen the car don't worry.
To you lowrider guys it may seem tired, but the fact the car isn't a pile of rust makes it a minter to me! Ha.
But yeah I want someone to check out the hydro system when I get it

Just make it tidy and all that. Make the interior less offensive.

Snowdome meets need to happen yeeeah boooy.
Aaah I'll have an annoying choice: 1. Come in the Opel and rock out with RPMs and smokin' tyres 2. Come in the Lo-Lo and make people/myself laugh and possibly shot some coke.
Haha
