What Ever Happened to...
 

The Durango cars. They seemed to br cropping up winning big events and were always said to be great. Jimmy had some shots too and then nothing...

I think they won the recent Petit RC indoor race in France, they seem to be going strong but dont have the same drivers they had before so we dont get to hear about them so much. From what I know its all german and austrian drivers, dont think they are interested in selling the car so dont seem to want to promote it outside of those few drivers.

exactly, it was never a car built to be sold, it was only ever built to be raced by the best drivers and win.

the best alternative that uses the same design ideas (narrow chassis) is the slim4, I have driven the car and it is ace!

I heard Hupo Honigl is running it now

What, the SLIM 4 heehee

Now that would be interesting ;)

Yes the slim 4 is nice to drive:) But believe me it aint a patch on my DURANGO! Everyone that uses my car says that if they owned it they would be much quicker!
just my opinion
if anyone would like pics of any part or to drive my 2005 please ring me on 07916173455:D

Do you hire it for Weddings and Barmitza's too, pmsl

If you want! I prefered a Rolls at my wedding but each to there own:)
what does PMSL mean?????:confused:

pmsl = "pee myself laughing"

Didn't realise you had driven a slim4 scott ?

That wasnt very nice i was just trying to be helpfull!
the Durango has some very nice Features and some are not that obvious;)
so am i right in thinking PMSL is an insult directed at me??
please someone tell me

Yes OLD TIMER i have driven one :D and it was very good and me personaly rate it on equal par with the x10 (the best 4wd money can buy)
we should have chat one day!:)

it isnt an insult, it means he was laughing, for example, 'lol' 'lmao' 'rofl' pmsl is the same as these :)

sorry Paul i didnt see the humour:confused:
thanks for replying

Do you think he realy did a little wee?????
bet he did:D

well what is funny to some isnt to others :p dcm uses the short term abbreviations alot, so its kinda natural.

Does he use FMAH! often:D

lol, don't know what you mean Paul... pmsl

I should be down at Stotfold for some of the winter series meetings shaking down the 07 spec car, you more than welcome to give it a run.

Btw whose's Slim4 have you driven out of interest.

I didnt get the name:( just was asked if id like a couple of laps
thats the car with the thick carbon chasis and 8 cell slots with the cell slots milled into the carbon..is that correct?

Thats right i think it may of been the old car from early in the year, moved on a lot since then ;) if you are racing over the winter let me know, you can guess i would like a good look at the Durango :thumleft:

I'd also like a look, any chance of some good pictures Scott? :confused:

I had quite a few pics of Marc R's car from last Euros. I firmly believe it is probably the best 4wd that has and ever will be built. Some of the stuff that goes into it is just amazing.

I expect youve seen my usual pics.:cool:
