“Hot hatches are cool but they’re still mostly a novelty”

Only in North America, the rest of the world still manages to sell quite a few.

(Disclaimer: Wild assumption here based on my experiences in Central and South America).

Facts have no place in a rant like this!

FYI the TTR video with the Rolls on the grass, the car was on loan to a customer so they could decide if they wanted to buy it..... Basically, that is a video of a test drive.

TTR thought it wouldn't be found out - only to later discover the car was unique in the UK. The dealer was not impressed.

The people I’d most want to share a bottle (or 3) of wine with, Christian Von Koenigsegg, Elon Musk and Horatio Pagani.

Now, having just written that sentence, I can just imagine setting them a challenge; Horatio designs / styles the car, but the other 2 get to make it go...... then let the fun take over.

have you seen this video?

product placement - it was the RedBull team that made the video afterall.

The agreement was to not advertise a cars power as over the 206kw mark, not create a car with more than that. Every R33 GTR made more at the wheels than it’s spec sheet said it made at the flywheel.

In a seemingly un-related matter, he has however been asked to appear before an Auckland Magistrate for posting a Vertical Video online. An offence which carries a much harsher penalty than riding while using a handheld phone.

Swap “overly religious, gun” from your post for “VB” - and you pretty much have it.

Deaths occurred as a direct result of someone committing a felony - pretty sure in CA that has been an automatic Felony Murder charge for about the last 30+ years.

If you fired that pistol into the air while committing a bank robbery and the bullet managed to kill someone, while not actually aimed at them - its felony murder. That is a closer analogy to what this situation is. Like it or not - those are the rules in California.

As a foreigner looking in, I don’t understand how…

Not an article, but about the best / fairest way you can compare top performers from various forms of Motorsports - http://www.raceofchampions.com/

This is why you don’t scrimp on a cage -

Any of the “last” of the hi performance Fords or Holdens made in Australia. Utes, wagons or sedans, won’t matter - they’ll be worth some decent $$$ in a few years.

Well after he retired from racing bikes, he had a second career in Australia as a sports commentator and truck racer.

A bit of the old “Burt Munro” carving knife and boot polish action on those tires, and it’d be good to go!

I assume you were commenting in general terms - and based on that I’d completely agree with you.
