I think that girl is pretty hot. Don't watch the show all that often. I have to agree with Zip. Muscle cars have there place, but put them on a solo track..........oh oh. You see the new Lotis Extige Ziptie? Talk about HP and balance. Best chassis in the world + 400hp + 1900 lbs? hmmmm sounds like a 11 sec track car to me

I don't know if you guys ever see that Overhaul show, But they restored this guys Mach 1 that looked almost like the one in the pic. Beautiful restoration. Infact they shot that episode at the SEMA show in vegas. ( I was there) Almost like heaven.

Family man that I am, I'm driving a Opel Zafira Comfort 1.6 16 value. It' handy having a seven seater when you've a family totaling 6. Can you still get the "ecotec"motor in that car as an option? I know that GM North America has taken on that motor that has been developed in Europe. Vauxhall , Saab and Opel share some simular motors I believe. I've got the Family transporter going on to. 93 Lumina APV Van. Looks like a dustbuster.. ahh....but were to put my 3 children, surely not in my little red eco-box

Well if it were just straight line performance I was interested in then I wouldn't have the tuned susp or sporting the 18's. The F-body LS2 own in the 1/4. (GTO, Corvette and Caddy CTS-V) I've done some auto X as well There just no good way to measure lateral G's other than the seat of you pants or if you know someone who works for TopGear or MotorTrent . Don't get me wrong I love the twisties. Best Drive I've ever had was on the Trans Canada In BC on my way to Kelowna (sp?) Got any pics of the Justy?

Erm, well, I'm going to drive it to the shops in the morning, and then I might give it a clean, but nothing much planned beyond that, no. You know what I'm talking about when I say JDM right? How many K or the car? I've seen pics of the Justy before. I think the first time I saw it was from Grand Turismo 2 Neat little cars.

Nice Ride Blade Runner! You going to do anything to it or leave it like everyone elses stock STi J/K Me, I'm a lowly J-body owner. 97 SFGT. Alot of mods - Full exhaust, header, ported head, cams, underdrive pully, intake 60mm TB, ......I'm forgetting some..last dyno was 165whp - High 14's 1/4It's still NA ( no boost or N20) tuned susp. - still need a rear sway. just closing in on 200K origonal motor ( bottom end) I like the car because it's a sleeper, unsupecting baby boomers in their super sport sedans are my prey. ;D "How much was that Comp G? still 15 sec's eh?" I'm looking at the new Cobalt SS 21k USD mid 14 sec compact - can't go wrong with that.

In Scotland we have plenty of them ;D. We are after all notorious drinkers Cheers! I can't wait to visit my mother land (father's side). Back to the clamato juice. - you can also mix it with beer. It apparently is quite tasty. Personally I don't like to water down my beer

I used to be a beer drinker but now it's red wine. Wyndham Estate BIN 555 Shiraz. Rosemount Estate Shiraz/ Cabernet. Yeah I'm into the red to but that's a whole different ball game. Has to be the right time/place. Good choice on the Rosemount. If you like their Shiraz then you should try Pennfolds. They have an amazing shiraz/cab blend. It's a pretty good bang for the buck. I think it's called Rawsons Retreat. www.penfolds.com/Those Aussies know how to make some nice red. Back to the Beer now.... These links will do you no good , but just make you thirsty. At least you will be familuar with the label www.boddingtons.comwww.fosters.com.au/beer/about/brands/beer/vic_bitter.aspThis is that Canadian micro brewery that i was talking about. So I'm not sure how available it is oversees. www.sleeman.com/en/html/beer/index.htmOhhhh. I almost forgot about good O'l Stella's www.stella-artois.com/landing.html
