Want a challenge, get a E-Type Jag with the I6 and either restore or resto-mod it. =)

Your stanced Accord is nothing compared to this seen on 5th east side of central park.

Hmm. I would believe you if you allow me to volunteer you as a subject to deflagrate your theory. You can ride a motorcycle at 40mph. I'll log a sizeable stone at you at 20mph. If you don't fall off the bike, you can steer it towards an oncoming car traveling at 40mph. Let's set the outcome.

If I recall correctly, the Countach was originally a late 70's design. The model you have is an evolution of the original.

Yes they are, but if you look at where south Korea was 20 odd years ago in automotive technology and quality, it was just as bad or worse than current cover cars. That was the point for comparison.

I world traditionally agree with you on this but China is serious when it comes to quality mass transit. When I was working there, their subway lines, train lines were impeccably maintained and clean. Never late. Never broke down. They have proven they they can operate a maglev effectively and consistently. No…

I have a strong belief that the combination of free mass media, over sensitivity, lack of common sense, and lack of sense of humour in todays society generatss situations like this. I enjoy the bantering of these plucky brits. Takes a lot of wit to creatively insert jokes and references in such a non overtly obvious…

Omg. Thought I was looking at a Chrysler product. Especially with the chrome and that rear end...

Oh wow. Now I really have to make the trip down from canuckistan to one of the riding mecca. I see, another goldwing, flat 6 right? I missed an entire bank of cylinders. Lol. I guess he's had enough runs on that stretch to more the ingress and egress off by heart. Props to those gentlemen hooning on the Goldie's.

That was awesome. Former AMA rider on troll patrol? Also, chase bike sound like a triple.

Agreed. This is also a reason why Mazda has focused their attention on their sky-activ line of fuel economical technology versus going electric or hybrid. Majority of the world does not have the infrastructure to support vast fleets of electric vehicles. Electricity generation is often not from clean sources as well.…

Hmmz..I believe you may be correct, however if we are going back to original thread, my point was just to say that the K20 did not define VTEC. B16 series did. =)

You are correct. I stand corrected. Typo'd.

I would have to disagree. The engine that defined VTEC was the:

Pokemon on steroids my friend...haha. Don't insult it just because it's small...haha

Astute observation there. I do agree as well, however I find most Mini drivers are not your "let's toss the car around and hoon" bunch regardless of age. I too have not seen too many of them on the track. I believe this may be attributed to the fact that there is so much competition out there who make a more…

I also attended the Toronto event at Woodbine Raceway. I wholeheartedly agree the 3pot was pretty impressive and if I had to buy a Mini, that would be the one to buy. It felt light on it's feet and more willing to play. Like a happy hyper puppy bounding around ready for a game of fetch. Tail end goes sideways…

I have yet to have the opportunity to drive the 5-door variant of the Mini Cooper, however I did have the opportunity to spend a few hours flogging the new Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper S around an auto-cross course at the Mini Test Drive event. The following impressions were made:

I have spoken my mind many times in terms of automotive marketing and sales. The 70s, 80s and 90s and even early 2k was a great time for auto makers in motorsports and sales. The reason for this is HOMOLOGATION. A great example is in WRC where all cars that were entered had to be road legal and similar to their road…
