You may know I have an unhealthy relationship with old Italian and British cars and bikes but even I would crush this sucker, I nearly bought one though, what a numbnut! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiORh...eature=related |

Not so sporty, but very comfortable and innovative

Bidder registration is in, temptation level is high... http://bit.ly/9fBZxb
Plus, two GT3 RSRs in the auction... and also on the list for a GT3 Hybrid (fingers crossed).

Hi,
Dunno about that but I can testify as to how expensive speeding in CH really is.
I got a nice letter today asking for 114 Euro for doing 13 km over the limit. The same speed excess in Germany would have been about 20 Euro.

This definitely seems like a buyer's market.

Just got back from Riverhead Raceway where I saw one of the sickest races I've seen. It's called "skid-plate racing". (sorry, no pics) Anybody ever heard of it? They use front wheel drive cars and vans, pull the rear wheels off and weld steel plates on in their place. Then it's balls-to-the-wall/anything goes, sparks flying fun. Truly sick and a ton of fun to watch. |
