    NOS Story

    Was talking to a mate from our yacht club who went to Sth America over the Christmas holidays with his family.

    he told me about their group taking a few taxis one day outside of Santiago in Chile. They were mainly Peugeots, Citreons and everyone was cruising around 140 k's on their way out to some tourist place.

    But when it came time to have to pass a truck, bus or just any other car on the road (in a fully loaded cab with 5 people), hey, just hit the NOS button and whooshka ! passed in no time ! Seems they pass regardless of oncoming traffic and they make 3 lanes out of 2.

    He says that when you go to a gas station in Chile, theres ULP, PULP and a NOS pump. Neat ! wouldnt the rice lads love that place !

    Not sure how long their engines last though ?

    Sounds like a cool place for a TYP901 run.


    Got NOS ??

    Yeah, on my Harley !!

      Hmmm... is it just me, or is having your prized possessions right up and personal with 2 huge pressurized cannisters of NOS a slightly uncomfortable thought?!

      not that it wouldn't be a blast to ride, but if something went wrong...

      instead I'll just hook a couple up to my 2.8!!!!!

            Definately two cans of some description there by the looks.....

            Quite high capacity too, not sure if its Nitrous but I think it would still leave you with a smile on your face......

              do we need to move this discussion to originality vs modified "vehicles"...?

                technically, a vehicle is something that you can ride in or on. She meets both criteria I think! - Ok that's it... I promise!
