Speed UTV take 3

[RVR SWPR]

I know LOF.. He doesn't work for speed and he isn't Robbie.

RD

I did’nt say he did work for Speed. I’m saying one of your trolls has no idea who LOF might be..

 

[JayBreww]

Well I do have a full time film guy in house soooo.. That said with go pro stabilization etc.. even back on the old ones they really tend to minimize what actually occurred.

Honestly what I'd rather do is get some hater on here, strap him in the seat of that thing and send him on the ride I went on, and have the go pro pointed at his face.

RD

I’m a hater! Sign me up, I’ll be in town next week during the week. Let me know when!



*Not a hater, but I can be for a ride with RG.

 

[HCP3]

What is with everyone calling Robby Gordon "Robbie"?

Did I miss the joke?

 

[RiverDave]

What are your thoughts on RG keeping the company private with Todd and their investors, going public or just selling out in a few years for a zillion dollars?

I have no idea what his intentions are in terms of going public or keeping it private.

I can tell you that he shared with me some of the things going on behind the scenes, and the amount of money and effort that is being put into this deal is far beyond what most would think.

Every time there is an issue, like for example the two transmissions that cracked, the internet says "Oh that's it.. that's the next big thing that's going to end this." People are saying it's a Ponzi scheme and he's taking peoples money etc.

Recasting those transmissions and making new ones isn't even a blip on the radar financially speaking.. Like less than .05% of what's going on in terms of the company month to month. To be honest just knowing what he pays for insurance every month, I'd wager all of those transmissions are less than 1/7th of that alone.. and that's just the insurance nut.


In unrelated news he sold his North Carolina facilities to Tesla and has secured 18 Acres up by the airport and will be building a serious building right here in Havasu.

Now that's cool. If these were "Made In America" I think that could help justify to some people, their loyal buyers, the eventual $75-100,000 they'll be asking for one of these SXSs.

 

[riverroyal2]

Why are you RR2?

RD

I sent you a message weeks ago. My login is screwed up. On my cell ive never logged out. On ipad etc it asked for my login, didnt work. Guess I need a new password for my original user name

I've had this problem on other websites. Try clearing all "cookies" and see.

 

[riverroyal2]

ive been logged in for long I have no idea what email or password is even used! For some reason my log in on Ipad and PC was requested. It did not recognize anything. Cell is ok.

You sent me a message on here? Or through the contact us?

Please shoot me a text real quick and I'll send you a new password for RR.

If they were made in America they'd cost more than a 100K.. Not to mention the financial backer of this deal is some Chinese Billionaire, so I'm sure whoever that is wants to use their manufacturing facilities to produce the car. The factory in China is 7 million square feet under roof and has robotics etc..

Anyhow I'm not sure of the who's / when's / where's of manufacturing etc.. I really only spent a few minutes talking to him, and the rest of the time we were out in the desert.

On that note 5 cars were sold to "walk ins" at the building in Havasu this week. The cheapest one was 74,000.00

Ugh! That’s a big nut for a car, 74k. I’m struggling looking at 50k for a Pro R 4 or whatever.

I think it’s cool as hell RG went big and produced a car/SXS. He’s a blue collar race car driver. Not some billionaire businessman.

Can’t wait for everyone to get their cars.

People are pretty much adding on all the accessories when they buy them. The Pro R is the same way.. Ya get it, wheels tires, seats, seat belts, lights, car to car, and on and on.. 20 something later you are at 70+ and still climbing.

I could order a new boat today and keep my 335, I could sell my 335 tomorrow and order a new boat, and even just having to come out of pocket $50-100,000 for something I'd like to use twice a month between May and October every year just pains me. Just doesn't seem smart in any way, shape or form and that's something you can put 10-12 people on and enjoy, not 4 people. Everything from SXSs to boats to RVs has gotten so out of hand for the average guy it takes the fun out of it.

 

[Hammer]

RD

LOL- Tell RG I’ll trade work
At his new facility in Havasu for a new Speed Car.

 

[bentprops]

I really hope a nice sounds exhaust comes out for these things. If not ill have to build my own.

I've been to the NC shop a couple times it was pretty bad ass. I wonder if he is selling the two lakefront houses too

Did you tell him you know a realtor in Havasu for buying that kind of acreage??

Dave's motto is go big or go home. It doesn't have to be like that.

There is lots of fun to be had without feeling like you Have to keep up with the Jones.

I think I might be late to the game in that.. lol.

Besides that land up there has historically been donated to the potential customer if you meet certain business criteria for the town.

I’d rather get the residential when he and all the employees move here full time.. but again might be late to the game on that? Not sure.. I’m not a pushy person so I’ll broach the subject once or twice and after that if it doesn’t happen upwards and onwards

Seems possibility Robby Gordon drops by RDP occasionally.
Well Done RG, KOH start 107 finish 9, single seat. Incredible

Will Speed internally wire accessories through the cage if requested?

Good question,first thing i noticed in that pic. My answer to your question will not be accepted around here. No doubt the Speed Car RD Enjoyed yesterday been around for months testing etc. Far from finished production,especially accessory install. Again ,that just me.

 

[Ace in the Hole]

I don't have a dog in the SXS fight....but THIS IS GREAT. Anything that brings jobs etc in is needed, especially skilled ones. City leadership could fuck up boiling water though so I hope it works out well. Since Nexsen is gone hopefully some great things occur with this deal..that guy set the town back a decade+ on his response to 08...but this isn't the place for that convo. Good for RG, and good for Havasu.

 

[Hammer]

Did anyone watch RG’s IG vid tonight? River Dave got a shout out and supposedly they are coming out with a V8 4wd production speed car. 250 units, limited edition. If that is true, that will be bad ass.

If I was him I’d focus on getting the units dialed in before releasing more.

Bridge to Nowhere maybe...

Think you've tried every hike in L.A.? Think again. The Bridge to Nowhere awaits

The Bridge to Nowhere, deep in the San Gabriel Mountains, is sturdy enough to have lasted 85 years, strange enough to draw crowds and start arguments.
