Nice!

Anyone know if the wider track is just a combination of spacers, wide wheels and low offset or is there some serious trickness going on there?

either way it looks sick especially when the back end starts to twitch round the 2nd to last bend

Im going next year to a few rounds, but i believe either custom wishbone setups with full adjustability like the ones i had made and similar to what Dogwood has on his or varients of the salzmann type PPP frame and also wide wheels circa 8.5" to 9-10".

They have them for sale amoungst other gucci things on the www.berg-cup.de website, click on marktplatz, then on teilemarkt (parts for sale), or fahrzeugemarkt (cars for sale).

Id love to buy a berg cup car.

just watching that again, proper stiff, you can see it lifting its rear left wheel in the air on left handers.

another one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmH7W_Gae60

most of the vids from 'wenge11' on youtube are the berg G40.

Hi

Just to say that this:

It was made by me, and it was my old G40 (CN Plate)

But no problem in copyright

btw sorry for the "out topic".

Fantastic!

That looks pretty awesome that mkII.

What exhaust system do you reckon he has got?

Would it be straight through?

Would love mine to sound like that. Its a good rally car sound.

they are pretty good value for money. Only reason I did not get one was that they are so bastardised that repairing them would be brutal if not impossible.

nice thought though

I was tempted at one point during the rebuild of my old track slut to just go out and buy a ready done berg cup car. I think the ones I was looking at at the time through the Berg-Cup.de website in the marketplace section were ranging from 5,000Euro upto 10,000Euro. Some with engines, some without (was looking at putting my engine in it) I was tempted to just get a loan and get one and sell up everything from mine, sent out emails, even got my mate's german wife to translate them, but a lass no one replied to me.

I remember the bug eye orange one on there for sale at 19,999Euro!
