I remember seeing one when they were new, being hooned! The owner slapped paper plates on it, and drove down to Philip Island race track for a club sprint meeting (the equivalent of a NASA TT).

My winsxs folder is currently 10.2GB, but the cleanup tool is only offering to remove 2.27GB. It's a start, but it's not quite what I was expecting.

The track is completely unused for the other 51 weeks of the year - by all accounts the organizers just padlock the gates and walk away for a year. I remember reading that when the teams returned for the second running of the Korean GP, they found the fridges still contained the leftover food that they had left there…

Sounds like the guy has a bone to pick with the dealership.

Top effort; bonus points for the sheer volume of shrapnel.

I would start by placing a screenshot on the dash or under the wiper, with a link to this URL and "Smile, asshole, you're on Candid Camera."

Uh, no. the lights never went out, the boom gate only went up because some guys manhandled it, and the barrier only went down because two guys stood on it. Once they stepped off, it came right back up again, as the crossing was still active.

So did Eric Bana eventually rebuild The Beast, and if so, did he plinth it?

Wow, their museum has come a long way since I visited it back in the late 80's. Back then it was housed in little more than a shed out the back of the Stuttgart factory, and they only had enough room to display a couple of dozen cars, so it was a crap shoot what you would find there on any given day.

Methinks you're being a little hard on young Daniel, who has given a pretty good accounting of himself in the second-string team.

A traditional Paddock Basher was some old clunker that rural kids used to move hay bales around, check the sheep in the back forty, or run other errands on the property. More often than not, it was an old family sedan that had been totaled or otherwise retired from legal street use and resurrected for duty where…

So who did the Stoptech kit for the Super20, and why is it so hard to find brake upgrades for a 2009+ MX-5?

Ironically, a few minutes later the bike rider was hit by a drunk redneck in a Tank Chair. http://www.tankchair.com/

If all four wheels are on the car, he is faster than "der Cherman". Just watch the last episode of the current season of Top Gear.

Sir Alec would be spinning in his grave if he could see what they're slapping the "Mini" moniker on these days.

Yeah, I realized the spelling error later when I was offline.

It's "fatburg", not "fatburger". Think huge and menacing like an iceburg, not juicy and mouth-watering like a hamburger.

I've long been of the opinion that all Geminis should die in a fire, but that's not quite what I had in mind.
