In the prime of it's life, my 1200GX powered 1000 sedan was blown away by this punk in a stock '63 VW running on three cylinders, & with one near-flat tyre. [The car in front of me had stalled.] Yawn.

Hi everyone, I finally decided to join. I have visited this site for about 2 years now. I always love the pictures. My 1200 has an A14 and is regularly serviced by a member of this site. Although its not original I love it as much as my first ever 1200 I bought from Capital Motors in 1972.
One question I have for everybody is, why drive so fast. I like driving my 1200 and if I rush, it just means less time spent driving it.

who_your_datty_1200 I have noticed recently you are being a cheeky little boy aren't you, trying to stir up mischief. There is an old saying that goes. Looks like the pot calling the kettle black Quote:

And I care what you think?? No, I dont think so and if you dont like my dribble, hey dont read it!

If woodydat has to get others to stick up for him and cant fight his own battles, then I feel sorry for him.

Melissa. It's a testosterone thing. When you are a bloke & you are 20, you want to see how fast it will go. When we are 50, we want to see how long we can make it last. [a bit like inter-personal intimate activity too ]

With even a stock A14, & some tidy little mags, preferably 13", your sedan will not be a traffic obstruction, but should perform quite 'adequately' It doesn't take a lot to make a real nice car from our classics.

Welcome to the club.

i have beaten a toyota corona manuel with a egaust it was actually my freinds car and my cars pretty stock this was at a orange grove run at saville street lol it was funny

Gran you crack me up, your the biggest stirrer I've ever met. It was a good and well deserved call though. lol. I am sure you have noticed that many members have double standards all for themselves.
As for Woodydat getting others to stick up for him. I can 100% say that if Gran or Woodydat have ever met or spoken, it is news to me. Get your #### straight. Oh yeah thats right, you dont care. but you still felt the need to have a comeback.
Dodgeman dont think Melissa the old chook holds up traffic, If my memory serves me correctly, I remember the words " Steve this motor is kinda tired " ( motor refering to old A12. ) Gran is no lead foot but she doesnt drive like the anchor is out either.

Cheers Steve.

my bluebird has beaten,
a VL Turbo
R33 skyline Turbo
VS senator (215kw version)
WRX
VN V6 Surpercharged
thats all i can think of at the moment

I haven't raced anyone yet.... Can I come back to this post when I do?

A well sorted ca18 datto would beat most street cars. The thing is no matter how fast your car is there will always be a faster ones out there somewhere. Doing it on the street is not the best way to do it either. It wasnt that long ago to own a fully legal and regoed 12 second car was pretty quick now it seems you need to be running in the 10;s to be regarded as quick with some (street cars)!!!! running in the 9s and even 8's. To me it not just straight line stuff I would like to give a 10 second car a run around a race track they would probably beat me to the first corner :-p
I think dattodudes 1200 sedan should be good for low 11's maybe even high 10s if the power gets to the ground!! not too bad for a little daily driver (once its going)

I am looking forward to seeing dattodudes car now... That's some quick s##t, man I hope to get some ties like that in about march-april next year.. I'm thinking about taking my puppy off the road for about 6 months to turn it in to a animal... How much work has been done to dattos 1200??? I'm very interested hypo CA conversion...
