At that speed, the ground effect (the reason the "Ekranoplan" can fly) actually prevents the pilot from being able to make the aircraft go any lower. As long as the ground is clear and you maintain speed - you can fly that low all day long with relative safety.

R33, but why get picky.

Blame the weak $US and a comparatively strong $AUD for that. A Clubby would cost more than a Cadillac CTS-V by the time it was imported to the US. It really doesn't make any sense for the 1 parent company to have 2 competing, essentially identical products - especially when the CTS-V range are widely regarded as the…

Not actually a concept - was a production model (just limited numbers)

I thought the wagon version was called a Legnum, Gallant was only the sedan?

For everyone outside of Australia and New Zealand - any of the HSV wagons

Burago Bugatti for me

Start by dividing $448 by 3, since that's how many individual winners hit the jackpot combo.

May I ask for this, even if it's not a mid engined car?

Same as Australia. You pay a tax when buying the ticket - that's enough for the Government to be happy (since they make more overall that way anyway) - your winnings are 100% tax free. They'll come at you for any interest you make on it however, since that isn't a "Win-fall gain".

There is every chance it was driven by Ayrton and was available for his use, but reading the description - even if all owners documentation was available, it wouldn't show Ayrton as the owner - there fore it's just a nice, low K's example.

Would be more expensive than a Cadillac CTS-V wagon - therefore not worth the effort.

The biggest issue with this being truly viable, is the weak US dollar. In 2004 when the decision to bring the "G8" to the US was made the Australian Dollar was only buying US$0.60 cents. It's currently over 90c and has been as high as $1.12 recently.

Except that wasn't lane splitting. This video shows a lack of attention while someone is trying to be a wanna be Ghost Rider.

To be fair, Rowan Atkinson has put over 30,000 miles onto Mclaren F1's - there are precious few people in the world that can claim the same (figures from an article he wrote 2 years ago).

Cold rotors have a tendency to flood, warm ones only do that if the fuel mix is totally messed up - as was the case here. If you have to shut a rotary off before the engine is up to temp - you red line it and pull the key while it's at high revs to prevent flooding.

That would have been the daily rum ration provided to sailors all over the world at the time - since it was proven to prevent scurvy.
