You’ll need to drive the manual very conservatively, as gas is $6+ per gallon in Mysticlavia.

This car was flown to the factory in England before every ‘tour’ and then back to the factory after each rally was finished. The owner must have spent millions doing this over the last ten years.

Someone actually runs Oppo?  

Will this be using salt/sodium FSI batteries?

I updated everything yesterday, but this morning it shows that it still needs (another) restart? And of course, it’s the 1903....

I’m spoiled by the V8, and I’ve driven the new GTIs, so it’s ruined for me.

This. I have an old Touareg V8 that needs to be replaced, and if the Tiguan was a bit more ‘solid’ and had decent power I’d already have one. It’s not slow, but just the way it delivers the power feels like an old lawnmower to me. The size and looks are perfect (the Atlas is too big) but it just doesn’t feel right.

It’s Friday afternoon, I’m going to segue into a Guinness!

Good catch...I’d like to blame auto-correct, but it was my brain that was at fault.

Well done.

Yup, it was faster than every LM car...but it wasn’t a race.  I’d like to see them enter Le Mans again.  They’ve only participated once since 1939.

Also will need to trim off 750kg !!!

If VAG is going to throw it’s hat in the ring, I’d like to see a Bugatti hurtling down Mulsanne Straight....

Agreed on that one, haha....my point was there are plenty of expensive homes in the area, not what I was expecting. The development just a few hundred yards away has $200-$300,000 homes on less than 1/4 of an acre.

I thought the same thing, but I looked it up. There are plenty of developments nearby....still CP based on the track, but it’s not that cheap in the area. Plenty of lots for $50k+ for less than an acre.

I hear the Woodstock 50th Anniversary Festival is looking for a venue...

Tractor racing seems like the perfect fit!

They are dangerous because invariably one falls off, so you just buy four more because they are so cheap. But those are a slightly different color, so you end up putting a pair from the first set on one side of the car, and then two from the other set on the other side.

The people that were able to get a build slot for a 911R didn’t need to flip them to ‘retire’ (I imagine many were already retired, or in a position to retire whenever they want, quite comfortably). Most already had a 918 Spyder in their garage, as that’s who had first dibs on the 911R.

Corvette buyers have never had the option of a DCT. How many of those early buyers opted for a manual because the automatic sucked, vs just plain wanting a manual?
