I’m not gonna say they’re the greatest ever, but damn do I have a soft spot for them. I seriously looked into getting a 968 in the early ‘00s and the price point was just a tad high for me to swing on a garage queen.

I live 2 miles from Rickenbacker. The F22s came in yesterday. Looking forward to seeing them for the next few days even though the reason for it is unfortunate. They were here back in ‘15 as well. It’s so freakin cool to see a flight of of them go over my house at 1,000'

912 was a separate model, not just an internal development code. Granted it was the same chassis as the original 911 (901), with the name designating it was a 4 cylinder car instead of 6.

I’m vaguely familiar with it, but haven’t watched much video of it. I did go to Last Man Standing in Texas back in ‘07 to watch. That was pretty cool. Most of the course was pretty rideable, but the water fall section they had to ride up towards the end was nuts. I was standing about 10' from where Geoff Aaron’s bike…

I would totally do it on someone else’s bike lol I will do one of the extreme enduros here in the States eventually. There was 1 here in Ohio this summer, but they scheduled it on the same weekend as the local enduro series I chase points in, so I couldn’t make it.

Ehh, Jarvis isn’t a dickhole for that. Erzberg is gnarly. The guys who lay out the course are pissed when more than 1 guy finishes it. I’m dead serious about that. So when a guy who is faster on the open stuff gets to a super technical spot like that and a guy like Jarvis can use it to his advantage to make a pass, he…

I said old lady, not wife lol  

My neighbor just bought a Nismo Juke. I think its cool. I’ve always liked the Juke. I appreciate that Nissan took a chance on the styling instead of making a bland vehicle that did not offend anyone.  My old lady wants to replace her Corolla with a CUV, the Juke is definitely at the top of my list of vehicles she…

Which tri-spoke? I do really like the split tris on that were optional on the SN95 of the mid 90s.

Loans are for peasants, us rich folk lease that shit!

Yup. Nikasil is actually a spray welded coating directly applied to the aluminum, as is the Alusil used later. It’s a very common technique used in motorcycles. Most dirtbikes from the late 80's and up had forgone steel liners and were relying on a spray welded coating. The sulfur probably didn’t affect those since…

I have no idea.

This video is a good example of why 10% is a good idea lol

The irony is this video is from Europe with much tougher licensing than the US.

Tongue weight should be at least 10% of the load.  When in doubt more tongue weight is better as long as the tow vehicle can handle it.

I heartily disagree with your opinion. The personal luxury coupe is fantastic option if you like to partake in the American tradition of road trips. No better platform to eat up highway miles on a thousand mile excursion with a friend or significant other.

Quick point on 2, my high school track coach fit in his MR2 Turbo just fine and he was 6'3". I never got to ride in it, but my dad did on the way to the BF Goodrich store so my dad could hook up my coach with his employee discount. Dad said it was a real neat car and my track coach wasn’t afraid of showing off it’s…

Also, in Europe, the total length of cab and trailer is the rule. In the US, it’s just the trailer. Cabovers were popular when the US had a total length rule. Talk to any trucker who drove cabovers over the road and they hated them. Sitting over the front axle was not a smooth ride.

A few years back, I saw an interview with him where they talked about the pronunciation. He stated that when his father emigrated to Australia, he decided to go by the “English” pronunciation. Even says so on his Wiki page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ricciardo

And Group C between those 2.
