I knew that looked familiar. Now I know why.

Lighten up, Francis.

Aircraft 501 in the lead pic is a Growler, dude.

Your username speaks for itself.

The Terminator Cobras that preceded them have been in the same boat for an additional ~5 years. Swap to a Whipple or a twin turbo setup and you could be making 700 - 1000 bhp all day long for pennies.

Anyone want to start a pool on the chances of this coming to the States? I'm in first with - no chance whatsoever.

TT / GTI(PP)

Uh, in the US at least the GT lacks both the Bilstein suspension and Limited Slip that are standard on the Club. It’s more a dressed up Sport than a dressed up Club. A GT with the Bilsteins and LSD, like every other major market gets when you pick the 2.0L engine, would be ideal. Listening Mazda USA? I’ve only said…

That was Goonies, dude.

Sir, survey question - how are you enjoying your FR-S/BRZ?

BMW being uniquely a luxury brand is only a US market thing. Ditto for Mercedes. In Europe you get them as taxis and rental cars all day long. It's just that they're all BMWs, rather than being from Scion, then Toyota and finally Lexus in terms of "prestige."

Glib comment time; it’s Friday after all.

Don’t feel bad; I had no idea who he was either. I wasn't a 'tween watching after school reality television in the mid-late '00s though. I was out of college working full time and enjoying real life. Which I still am, actually.

You summoned?

Yep, using matter with a zero index of refraction. Weird stuff.

They beam down to the surface of planets all the time. No pad. They also talk a lot about matter streams i.e. beaming matter. They are sending your matter, your elemental particles - not recreating you from local ones.

Nope. Nope nope nope. Nope.

You should really make a note that all UK cars with the 2.0 engine come equipped with the Bilstein suspension and LSD that only the Club gets in the US. In the US the Sport and GT both get the same dampers and open diff that the 1.5 gets elsewhere (and of course the 2.0 is only avail in the US). The distinction is…

That would be a rotary launcher stacked with air launched cruise missiles.
