Yup. Knew that. Thats why I posted the photo. Neil Armstrong was supposed to fly in it and did some development for the air force on it before he resigned and joined NASA in 1962.

Never before in it's nearly 90 years history has the Nürburgring been in private ownership. Funding came from the public in the first place and it was the taxpayer who kept it running.

Whats old is new again?

And it wouldn't be ready in the time frame that the writer is going on about - namely before any of the other US hardware options could be ready - so it seems to be much to do about nothing. If it *were* man rated and could be used within say a year - fine - I see the point about the article. But the other two US…

The ACO has manipulated the racing 'math' to promote energy efficiency for the auto industry. Great.... sigh.

I liked the part when she asked him if that was his real hair. He should have asked her if those are your real tits in reply.

The problem isn't the technology - its the ACO. They are limiting both technology AND the number of laps one can run before a stop. In theory one could design a race car with a nuclear core heating a steam turbine and aside from everyone track side as well as the drivers getting sun burns - the ACO would make you stop…

Well you 'owned' it for a few months after May of 1945... (smirk)

We haven't seen them yet. When we get a chance in OZ - we'll discuss this afterwards - until then...

Yeah, that's a hell of a lot more then $600 bucks for a clutch. Could he not smell the difference between clutch linings and rubber???

For the record: You did the portraying of dealers as scumbags - not I. I believe in total free enterprise. (Could be a fantasy, but there you go) 2nd, IMS is great - double row ceramic. Best car I've ever owned for maintenance issues.

Another? We haven't had the first one *yet*. When they have HAD the race, you can talk about the following year and speak about it as if its in the past because nothing is certain Geo-politically speaking.

Exactly.

Here's the car I was talking about. Located at Legendary Motorcars Ltd. Its probably got all of 500 klm on it.

The problem is that most of the military bases have been in Soviet control since 1917 and one of them is the only warm 365 port for their fleet. The Ukrainian army that are expecting to get back into their bases today are actually attempting to get back into former Soviet bases that were given up in 1992 by Soviet…

I find it interesting that the Russians are dragging out that 'fascist' or 'right wing' handle again when speaking about the Ukrainian groups who wish to be independent. There is quite a *history* between these two nations, specifically surrounding world war two. It is much more then ethnic issues, although that is…

Further: Just checked with Vehicle Information Centre of Canada - the class for a Smart is listed as a class 4 (Range is 1-5, 5 being the worst) They use statistical models based upon historical data. (Some use the CLEAR standard)

No its not - data came from a State Farm broker.

I assume he keeps getting orders for it - even though he'd like to end production. I guess there is always a Billionaire late to the party! There is a Zonda R near me that sadly doesn't get driven all that much - maybe one track run in two years.

RT is just the rebirth of Pravda.
