And non-ST Ford Fiestas either.

I got to see the 599XX and FXX cars at Miller Motorsport Park (now UMC) a few years ago. It was amazing, and I also got to see a guy in a FXX drop a tire in the sand on the last corner and come within a few feet of putting it into the wall. I always wondered who would have picked up the bill for that if he hadn’t…

I agree, but I also think GRC shot themselves in the foot this year. They were adding the UTV class, which was cool, except then they went and made all of the classes spec classes, so why would any manufacturer want to participate now? Maybe World RX saw an opportunity to capture the american teams who now own cars no…

If you’re driving through some mountain-west/mid-west states you get the pleasure of stopping at the Kum & Go.

As a an engineer in this field, hearing you call the cab the “frame” really irks me for some reason. To us, that’s the cab, the chassis is the frame.

The redline on that engine is probably only like 5000 RPM. If it could rev to like 7000 you’d probably gain a lot more horsepower. It also makes more torque than a Mustang GT, actually about 100 more ft-lbs of torque.

Same in my 94 Miata, but I think other brands did it as well. I seem to remember early 90s Isuzu Pickups also required you to hold the handle to get it to lock.

We all laugh, but she’s doing something right. I mean her business is worth 830,000 GBP.

Wait those people are still there!?! I visited Denver 2 years ago when the A-line opened and I can understand for the first month or so while you work the bugs out, but two freaking years?

The long skinny part is so the city can claim the Port of Los Angeles. The port is actually divided in two between LA and Long Beach. They needed it to connect to LA proper.

Ahh got it. I misunderstood. Seeing the side-by-side pictures someone else posted you can definitely see the differences.

Huh? I think you’re mixing up your cars. The Delta Integrale came after the S4.

I would actually totally drive this. Or excuse me, this is a RR, I would totally be driven around in this.

BTW, I highly recommend following “Crazy” Leo Urlichich, the guy who flipped and filled the car with snow, on Instagram. He’s a super cool guy, and was posting videos after the crash laughing about how much snow was in the car. He’s the kind of guy, who even on a bad rally weekend, will still be walking around with a…

2.0L I6, not V6.

You have me intrigued so I did a quick search, it looks like the gas engine was only available for 2007 and they didn’t sell well, so they got rid of them after that year.

Those pickup versions are just cab-chassis Sprinters, which are available in the US, with an aftermarket bed on them. I’ve seen a couple around before, and while I like the idea, the proportions are just a bit weird.

Zestino is a Japanese tire brand, and I’m pretty sure this guy is the North American sales rep for the brand. A quick google search shows a shop in Guadalajara that sells Zestino Tyres, so he was probably visiting retailers in the area.

Most of these people will just lease another car, so the dealer will probably waive any fees (if there even are any) at lease turn in.

There’s B-spec in Pirelli World Challenge as well. That’s about as major league as you’ll get in the US for hatchback racing. After that people want to watch/drive something faster.
