oh my god.

Building out a new Beetle just seems like evidence of an impressive commitment to being all wrong. Bacon Beetle over this thing all day long.

Not too familiar with the going rates on F1 cars but this seems like a steal, no? Too bad I left my 400k in my other pants...

Oops, guess it was only temporarily Kinja'd, sorry. Yeah, I get what your saying. I think really few people are immune to the necessity pf tweaks and adjustments brought on by track use... props to DORF for what they've accomplished in the Blackbird. I mean, I saw a money-is-no-object GT3's race ended as it returned…

I hear you, but I think that all-roundedness quality has gotta be pretty narrowly applied, given that these are both lowered cars on race coilovers with big turbos and intercoolers, stripped interiors with race buckets, and no A/C. I've seen the DORF Blackbird several times (it was in Odaiba last weekend) and rode in…

I wrote a reply that got Kinja'd, but basically: RWB doesn't claim to be an engine tuner, so not quite sure why people fault them for not being an engine tuner. RWBs exist because Nakai likes wide Porsches. Most of the RWBs that I saw at Motegi this weekend were not stock, and a couple were Promodet-tuned. Nakai's…

There were plenty of highly-tuned RWBs in attendance at Motegi on Sunday, including Nakai's 500ish hp Rotana and, yes, RWBs tuned by Promodet. Not sure why people fault RWB for not also being an engine tuner — it's not like there's a shortage of reputable 911 shops that can do a 3.8 conversion or whatever, in Japan or…

I spent Sunday with RWB at Honda's Twin Ring Motegi for the Idler's Sprint. It was pretty much all-Porsche — it was an Idler's "Porsche Day" — but Nakai's 993 Turbo beat a field of really quick 996 and 997 track monsters, including GT2s, GT3s, and even a GT3 Cup. Fairly impressive amount of "go" for a 20-year old…

I'm not even a bike guy, but I often go out of my way to walk by this little shop called Le Garage to see the 2002 Tii and DB1SR that sit behind the window. Gahhhh.

Edit: removed questions (a little off-topic).

Hm, Wiki says they went to coils in 1999.

Nice work - I came here to post the 79. But more pics won't hurt, I suppose:

I was thinking this morning: What's the deal with Acura NSX's in White Plains, NY? I've seen 3 in one week of visiting (black, red, and yellow). That's as many as I'd seen in years elsewhere. This guy should shop in White Plains...

Holy crap look at that phone number. THAT probably wasn't cheap, getting all those sevens. Does the UK have vanity telephone numbers?

Hey, that happened in front of Albasha's, which is maybe the best Greek and Lebanese food in the Baton Rouge area. I'll drive across town for Albasha's.

Nope, S. Sherwood at Coursey.

That it is. I wondered if the officer just took the liberty because he was passing through the state and thus unlikely to contest it... or if that's a normal thing that holds up in traffic court. Glad to see it being challenged!

My dad got that same ticket once, driving through Texas. "Interfering with the duties of an officer of the law" was the charge, more or less.

Satisfied with that. It really doesn't seem like he had ill will toward Saab owners. If you're going to destroy any cars for a video, you're bound to upset some people.

"You torched a Saab like a pile of leaves."

It's a striking visual effect, but I do hope they were beyond economical repair. I want to continue appreciating Vampire Weekend and the 900.
