I do not have the words to articulate how much I want this to be real. So, so much.

What the balls did I just watch? That was hurrible!

What if they combine forces? There are E30s out there with 5.0s... Run, foolish bystanding bastards, RUN!!

The Vantage is not a slow car, and the limitations of the salt make Clarkson’s 176mph in the standing mile with the ZR1 all the more impressive.

Anything but calling it a wagon, right?

Jefferson State.

They used to bring their blue GTO chase car out to pace the Thunderhill 25 parade laps. Pretty cool.

Ah, thank you. That’s what I get for scrolling on mobile.

As a jazz musician (well, a drummer, as the joke goes), I can see it working for that too, especially because they place an emphasis on style and improvisation

There’s a gate in the pit wall about half way down. With the red flag I’m a little surprised they didn’t use that to just get the car back to its garage on its wheels. Maybe it was otherwise blocked off.

Drifting is the metal of motorsport. It’s not about sonic perfection/lap times, but it’s done by some of the best musicians/drivers on the planet to melt faces, blow minds, and have fun. It’s pure shredding, and that’s good.

You must’ve changed the main cap after doing the timing chain and lifters?

Thanks very much for the reply, having had back surgery following a mountain bike crash and having worked back up to speed I can understand. Well done on getting back to form so emphatically, all the best.

What was the hardest part of your recovery from the 2012 Le Mans crash? Hope to see Toyota back at the front of Le Mans next year, the whole team richly deserves a win.

Even if this thing got 200 with good interior volume it’d work for me as a shop shuttle car.

COTD assist.

COTD two days in a row, right there.

They’re hiring launch techs at Vandenberg nearby.

Time to break out the black ‘95 Civics and harpoon guns.

It’s amazing to find one stock and still with its original stuff intact! The seats with no headrests, the longneck diff and its dogbone axles, the hood trim with the inset detail. Cool that it had Webers too. Glad it’s going to get some love, I wish them luck with it.
