I'll take slower and honest and respectworthy, over faster and dishonest and disdainful any day, McLaren is a joke, the Michael Vick of Formula One...

Nice wheels Doug.

BTW, how did the Glen vintage weekend go? I spent a large part of the weekend trying to make one good distributor out of three bad ones; I'm hoping to take the MG to a Vintage S2k meet in Marietta, OH next week.

F1 question, has there been a date set for a hearing on all this spy crap?

^ yes, Sept. 17.

They need to end this asap - it's a joke imo that they let it go on for so long in the first place.

PS - don't forget about spa this weekend!

Dave, My Sporting Roadster Tour on Friday was a huge hit, I had 130 cars this year and had people on a waiting list because 130 is my max. The day was brutal 95 degreeish, but no rain. Saturday afternoon there was rain, and then most of Sunday, but I was home on Sunday. The Bugatti race was awesome! You really ought to do the KNAPP VINEYARDS Sporting Roadster Tour in 2008

Thanks for the reply on the wheels, I have fallen in love with them, I'm now thinking I'm going to turn my black and silver street wheels into track wheels for rain tires so I can keep the dark greys as the street setup.

Ah yes, carbs. My close friends are now off to do Targa Newfoundland, the king of kings in the world of rallies, they have an old BMW 2002, and Roy is ALWAYS working on those Webers. With luck you have made out OK witht he A and it will be set for its adventure.

I have to tell ya guys, I have been very distracted...

This concept coming out tomorrow at the tokyo Auto Show has me really wound up.

If they come out with this, and then make a performance Si or R version, I will be buying one for sure.





FTW- that thing is HOT!

This changes all my plans for the next track car...





I'm not saying this would be my next track car, I'm saying the S might have to do that job for many more years or the next track car becomes a much lower cost option, because if they bring this CR-Z concept over here in a CRX-Si version, I will have to buy one. Period.
