This is awesome. Just put the date in my iPhone calendar.

At 120 that 500ft would be a split second. I’m guessing road undulations and speed may have been cause. Not exactly the smoothest roads down there.

Thats about 30 miles from my house. A bad road to even do 60 on, much less 120 mph. Limited sight distances , curves and rolling terrain.

Yes , Kristen is setting a new bar for the guys to follow. Nice to see such great coverage of events and from multiple angles. The one about the dressing the part and the period atmosphere at Goodwood was like something you might read in Octane. The there is the precise car coverage too, hard to fault her work.

Wish I’d seen this before. I’ve worked in dealerships off and on since 1973. Have a lot of stories about customers, techs, management, corporations etc.

Thanks for all you do. I have to say I’ve noticed some of Jalopniks best content lately has been yours. All the Goodwood write-ups have been superb.

Its the “hold my beer and watch this “ attitude that is ruining car GTGs all over.

In short then its many of the same people who head to spring break in Florida to get drunk, rowdy and do face plants in the sand.

I’m waiting to see where the VW/Audi crew decides to go in the next few years. I had planned to go there back when it was just VW/Audi but never could get time off work to hit a few events a year. I’m part of the old guys who went to Carlisle each spring with the Audi Club. I quit going to that event when the

I saw one up close in NC during the 70's when it was head for scrapping and got away from the ship towing it. It ran ashore on Pea Island . The ship named Betelgeuse was later retrieved at an extreme high tide. There are many photos of it on the web which can be found with a brief search. I have a photo but since I

Give it 10 yrs, you’ll read about him needing money and the only thing he’ll be hired for is opening the Annual Inbreeding Nationals and Tractor Pulls.

Well done. All the cleaning and prep work sometimes is in vain. At our body shop we had two used side doors that came from NOLA after Katrina from a nationally known recycler. They looked usable and were cleaned, prepped, painted and installed on a car which looked fine and was thought to be finished and delivered to

The one you may have missed is the domestic version of the Porsche air cooled guys. Never turns a wrench themselves. Buys a basket case 60's non-numbers car and spends a wad of money so big on the car that they’ll never see a return even if the car was sold at a big time auction. There is so much money in the car that

About 5 yrs ago headed to see family in High Point NC leaving from Ohio we had major issues. It was a period of solar flares and the Tom Tom we used showed us driving off the road by a few hundred feet for several sections of the drive. It looked like were offroading it for most of the drive. We had to switch it off

Nice article. Great pics. have a friend in Canton Ohio area with one. It needs some care but runs. Might have to bug him for a drive next time I see him.

The rich always get on the bandwagon about how much they pay. No consideration for the low percentage of disposable income for someone who struggles to live from pay check to pay check as they jet around the globe.

Interviewing them shows what everyone is up against and lets it be know there are more out there that think this way than I believe any of us realized.

Barack Obama Presidential Freeway and make it a toll road with all proceeds going to maintenance and charities of all races.

Mike , never told you before but this was one of the reviews that convinced me to buy my 2008 3.2 in 2014 with 24k miles. Now at 41k and its been flawless. With a Unitronic tune, Pirelli rubber, Pipercross flat filter and Whiteline rear sway its tweaked to provide even more enjoyment. More mods coming in near future.

omg Steve, this whole post is too funny. I guess at SOFR there weren’t enough straight sections for you to show your talents!
