Can I drive your truck?

[n24re]

Hi Guys,

I am new to the forum and I was hoping to find a local TY owner in the Greensboro NC area. I have an interesting proposal. I have never driven a Typhoon, but I am thinking about buying one but before I do I would like to get to know more about owning one and give a truck a drive around the block.

Now here is where I can make it interesting =-) I wouldn't ask to check out a persons truck without giving them something in return, so I am offering up a test drive in a Ferrari, or any other car I might have hanging around;-) Please let me know if this sounds interesting to anyone as I would love to get a chance to talk to an owner and check out their truck.

I would use this truck as a nice day daily driver only. The reason I want to check out a truck that isn't for sale is so I can get a straight story and not be caught up in a sales pitch ;-) I have been in love with these trucks forever but I haven't thought about really buying one till of late

Thanks for your time and if this is on interest or out of line for the forum I do apologize.

Best Regards,

Steve Jones

With all due respect, given your website, why would you want to have a Typhoon? I mean having cars like that around would be insane

Well....the fact is that at the end of the day I have a love for certain cars that are "off the beaten path' and the Sy-Ty is just that. Driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari around is a fun thing and I love my Ferrari but there is something about a Sy-Ty that gets me going. I have loved the trucks since they came out. I bought an 88 S10 in 91 when I was sixteen when the syclone came out I went to the dealer and drooled over them for days as one would come into the showroom and leave a few days later. I guess it's because it was my dream truck when I was sixteen and still is today. I have driven a lot of cool cars and owned a few as well but something keeps calling me back to these trucks.


I still drive my S10 as a daily driver...it has 184k on it now and keeps on ticking...here is a pic of it from a few years ago...
Cheers

Steve

Man if I even saw more then 2 Lamborghini's in a day, I think I'd pass out, let alone walk into a dealer and them let me drive a brand new one.. :roll:


One day I shall have money, yes one day... (probably when I die, and my family gets life insruance..)

Three weeks in my Syclone for equal time in a 911TT or enzo.......deal? I will deliver Sy to NC

 

[n24re]

I only want to drive the truck around the block...loaning out my Ferrari for 3 weeks could put me in withdrawls =-)

If you are ever in Carolina look me up....we'll go for a spin

 

[S4Vince]

I'll be in Raleigh next week for a few days however I will not have my Sy. That is my sunny day truck too.

If you ever in the Chicago Area you are more then welcome to drive the my Marlboro Syclone. Something about a truck with a removable roof is really cool.

You can even buy the truck if you like as i am planning on selling it. Need to make room for some new toys.

matt little in burlington will let you im sure. he works in ropxboro thou.

 

[ItsMyTy]

hey, i'm in greensboro

however, the truck is currently broken right now.. ripped the front propshaft out tonight (oops...)

should be back up and running in a week or so

 

[n24re]

Hey.....thanks for the reply...if you ever need any help with the truck I have more tools than I can shake a stick at. When you get that propshaft back in drop by the store sometime!

So you wanna drive a sy..... Hmmmm, what psi of boost? I can bring it down sometime and you can have it anywhere from 17psi (93octane) to 23psi (110octane). I would hope you'd wanna do more than take it around the block though. Whats the fun in that? Ya gotta catch a light and launch it at ~12psi before the fun even starts.

Will a 6'3"/275lb guy even fit in one of the Itallian wonder cars? If I wouldnt fit then maybe a drag race is in order for bragging rights :wink: .

Screw that, Pink Slips! j/k :lol:

HAHA!!

You guys are cracking me up! I am a 6' 250lb guy and I fit...snug but I fit. As sad as it is to say I wouldn't feel comfortable doing anything other than a drive around the block....one thing I have learned is that unless it's yours...don't drive it like it is =-)


A drag race wouldn't be fair to my car...a few laps areound VIR ( is a differnt story though www.virclub.com

Thanks guys!

 

[myclone]

Im not too far from VIR and might entertain the thought of swapping shocks/tires on the truck and make things jest a wee bit more even between the hay hauler and the exotics :wink: :wink: .
