Long time since I've seen the Truffle

Titsy · June 01, 2009, 03:14:28 PM

I raced that Mustang a couple of times, it had GT badges all over it but I wiped the floor with him both times, so either he was a crap driver, or it was a fraud...

What time did the truffle get? I'm gonna guess a low 17?

It's the truffle of pimpness...

it has been going through the club for years, 1st Edge, then I took on the pimp crown, now a lad on the AVO, Pete.

I had no time for it and went for my 325i....

Although, I think Andys Caddy deserves the title, but the truffle seems to hold it due to it being black, on black, on top of some more black....

What an awesomely 80/90's looking car that is!

its ok, the 'touchscreen' full useage computer is the final works, but full leather, remote central locking, elec windows etc made it extremely well specced.

There are very few in the UK, partly because there are very few in the world due to not being very popular (I think)

except you haven't been taken in the back of the Truffle

Gator · June 01, 2009, 04:35:30 PM

i think you would be taken "up" the truffle

HardRockCamaro · June 01, 2009, 05:14:27 PM

It was a supremely comfortable car, rides better than the Caddy.

And years ahead of its time in terms of gadgetry. I mean, touchscreen computer that controls everything? In 1990 (or whatever)?

Had the Corvette transverse rear leaf spring suspension.

Awesome car, and pretty pricey in its day (I think Edge said it was $25k which was more than the a fully loaded 5.7L IROC back then).

cool pics gator

The Oldsmobilr Toronado Trofeo was THE pimpest car!!!!!

It handled remarkably well, had self leveleing suspension and plenty of power from the 3.8 v6. Front wheel drive too!

It had every option imaginable, climate control, leather, if it moved it was electric, hidden headlights, auto headlights when it got dark... man, in was SO well spec'd

The trunk was MASSIVE too!!! perfect for dead bodies!

The coin/cup holder was great,

That exhaust sounded mint....

It was lovely too.. black leather, black inside, black outside, just AWESOME

and yeah, it was $25k new so it was pricey too

Damnit... i miss that car... i would have another one in a heartbeat !
