    Despite the embarrassing early problems, I'm not counting out the good old 504. My dad always told me that Peugeots can be held together with baling wire and happy thoughts-- the Safari Taxi 504 seems to have the baling wire part covered, so maybe they just need to be more positive in their outlook. Or maybe they need to get rid of that damn V6 and put the (more reliable and easier-to-fix) four-banger back in.



    Anyway, good luck to everyone out there. I'm looking forward to pictures of UDMan doing big tank-slapper slides around every corner.

    I'm waiting to here news of my home-state contenders, the Vermont Cow Tippers, I know a bunch of the people who contributed to the effort (shout out to Nate and The C-man!), though I don't know the actual racers... but we Vermonters stick together y'know!

    Oh, yes. This is the spirit of LeMons. Cars can't finish the transponder low-speed drive around the track before mechanical catastrophes start.



    I don't wish ill on the teams...quite the contrary, this is part of the appeal to some of us.

    Loving theses unique LeMons cars like the 510 and the Pug is like loving a supermodel. You know it will be fun for a few minutes, but you will get your heart broken. Best to find a good solid girl who know how to cook.

    I guess the good part of running an air-cooled car is that there's no coolant leak to trace. Best of luck, you Nader nadir.

    The bit of roof hanging over what once was a wraparound is the best part. I guess it's a spoiler, right? Wonder how much that does for aerodynamics.

    That Corvair looks pretty mean from where I'm standing (my home in Michigan). Hopefully it can hold up.. But while we're on the subject of hoping, lets all give a little hope to the team with the 510, and see if the alternator will be their only problem.

    I already guessed 2300 on the LeMons board. Laps are about 30 seconds each.


    Here's why - The Pug just sounds and looks too good in the video, it will easily last into Sunday. The X-11 (of which I am a driver) will go the distance since mid-80s GM crap will live longer than most others drive at all. The Corvair is a team of cheating bastards who would pimp their own mothers out to make an additional 10 laps in this race. I can't imagine what they haven't done to make thier car go the distance.

    @SchumacherTaxiSerive: Wow, I have never been called a cheating bastard before. Am I suppose to be flattered?


    Anyway, we will be going the distance. The Peugeot, with it's transplanted engine will suffer from some unforseen electrical issues, while the Craptation will be running, but the cable shifter will break, leaving them running in one gear only.


    All the while, the corvair will be happily cruise along, with not a worry in the world. 2350 Laps.

    @UDMan: I would be quite content to have the Craptation run the whole race in one gear. I would be almost as content to have every driver get at least one turn at driving it. And in a successful run-in with Vlad and my weekend would be a good one. ;)

    For true bullet-proofness, you need a diesel in that 504. Are diesel engines allowed at Lemons?

    I drive a Corvair. This one has my heart (if not my mind) for the IoE trophy. I also think it'll do the fewest laps of all three of these cars, unfortunately.


    The Corvair was a good car that could have been a great car. But, unless some serious cheating has occurred in the spending department on basic reliability items, one (and probably several) of the following maladies is going to befall the Ass-Engined Yank Tank:


    -broken fan belt

    -thrown fan belt

    -thrown fan bearing

    -thrown wheel bearing

    -lost wheel

    -flooded carburetor

    -dropped valve

    -high-centering on swing axle-induced spin out

    -massive oil leakage-induced black flag

    -Ralph Nader-induced smiting


    I generously predict 145 laps for the Corvair, one for each cubic inch of engine displacement.


    The Pug will complete the second most number of laps of the three. Its French, so it has that going against it, but it's history of reliability in the subcontinent pretty much negates that. Its a $500 PRV V6 powered car, so its a total roll of the dice, but I'm going to predict a brie and escargot fueled blast of 252 laps (half of 504).


    The Citation will complete the most laps, hands down. I once went to a demolition derby where they had one of these things competing, and the lil' bugger had its rear axle completely blown off, and it was STILL chugging around the course on its front wheels, slinging its ass end around to swipe at Tempos and K-cars. Its a GM, which means it will run horribly for longer than most cars will run at all. And if anything does break, you can probably dig through the trash can and find spare parts. I'll say 411 laps for the X-11.


    145+252+411 equals, ummm...808 laps total. My SWAG.
