I remember seeing that car when it was under construction at Kreations Auto Body in Rio Dell, California (WAAAAY up north, near Eureka) a couple yewars back.

That guy needs an in-your-face "talking-to" from Assy McGee.

Does the Caterham's price include an "I Am The Stig" t-shirt?

@mytdawg:

And to think that S-P almost bought the 1956-'57 Lincoln body tooling to make Packards with, but the Wall Street crowd (who—rightly—saw the S-P combine as a total loser) refused to lend S-P the money to buy it.

@whoever brought it up:

You hd to like the speedometer in the '86 Mustang GT, whose numbers stopped at 85, but the needle didn't...not until you were past "TRIP RESET" and well north of 120 MPH, close as I could figure.

Gene is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet anywhere—-and he's still as sharp as he was years ago.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......................

@Triborough: That's a '58 Ford Fairlane sedan, sorta like the one Al Pacino drive in "Godfather II" Ford's lower-priced Custom & Custom 300 sedans were about a foot shorter.

We've got the 12 Hours o Sebring AND the NHRA's gatornationals the same weekend here in Florida...

Let's just have Los Jalops or Jalopalumni....and bollocks to anyone who's been on an American TV programme that's run more than 13 weeks.

Let's just get three car guys who can make like The Three Stooges while on film, just like Captain Slow, Jezza & The Hamster do.

Rip off...just like japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's work was ripped of—most notably by "spaghetti-western" Sergio Leone.

What else is this for? How about Photochopping images of people considered to have/be gigantic @$$hole$ sitting and spinning upon it.

I respect Carroll Shelby. But I have more respect for Rodney Dangerfield.

WHat kind of a dragon would want a diesel...oil-burner....oh, never mind.

CNN's been into what the "youngsters" are doing ever since they showed how to freebase cocaine on the air (in the summer of 1980, not long after they went live), right after Richard Pryor burned himself doing that.
