  1. He has a hefty roll bar. My guess is 1110. Basing the on R1 Seven's car - 1138 lbs with 4 gallons and full roll cage.
  2. Before or after Hooters?:bigear:
  3. Heh, I was looking at your sig in another thread, and looking through the list of cars in Ohio, I was thinking to myself "how many people in Ohio could own a Birkin, a WRX, and a Ginetta G4". :lol:
  4. looks to me that he either fell asleep, or it's some kind of scam.
  5. Have you heard of any other Veyrons in salt water? :bigear:

  8. great pics, and the car is looking pretty mean
  9. Porsche's new 928 :drool: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/244090/reborn_porsche_928_is_fronting_up.html#ixzz0VJiX6cZz Lexus' new LFA http://www.autoblog.com/2009/10/21/lexus-lfa-tokyo-2009/ IMO the Porsche is absolutely beautiful, and at about 200K, absolute bargain compared to the LFA. I'm not sure what Toyota is thinking. $375K for that car. something like 500hp and 350ft.lbs of torque. Slower than both ZR1 and Skyline in 0-60, and I'm sure in quarter mile. I'd be interesting to see how it compares at the track. With all that carbon fiber stuff, still weighs 3200 lbs, and pretty ugly to boot. You do get your money's worth if you count how many scoops they attached to the car :ack:. At that price range, you better BLOW everyone away. Why would anyone buy that over a *less expensive* Ferrari or Lambo?
  10. man, you ARE as old as dirt :jester:
  11. Thanks Martin. I think she is mostly interested in old ones, like 70's or older.
  12. Friend of mine has fallen in love with old 911s and wants a convertible. what years are worth considering at reasonable price ranges? She is not interested in the best performance one - just a nice elegant 911 drop top. Suggestions?

    http://www.foxnews.com/images/582670/0_61_110309_olaf.jpg A British Army bomb disposal specialist who became a legend by risking his life to defuse more than 60 Taliban roadside bombs was killed last weekend in Afghanistan while on his final mission before starting leave, the Times of London reported. Staff Sergeant Olaf Schmid, 30, — nicknamed "Oz" — died instantly when an improvised explosives device (IED) he was trying to disarm blew up. Click here for more from Michael Yon's Dispatches. Schmid's exploits were described as "legendary," having defused one in every 19 IEDs found by British troops since his tour in Afghanistan began last June, senior officers told the Daily Mail. In one 24-hour operation, military officials said Schmid found and disarmed 31 roadside bombs. He deployed to Afghanistan in June, and had rendered safe 64 IEDs in that time. He had recently been promoted to a "high-threat operator" and was described by the British Ministry of Defense as having a "natural aptitude" for bomb disposal work. Another veteran bomb specialist, Captain Daniel Shepard, of the Joint Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group, was killed in Helmand in July, according to the Times of London. Schmid leaves behind his wife, Christina, and five-year-old stepson Laird. “Oz was a phenomenal husband and loving father who was cruelly murdered on his last day before two weeks off after a relentless five-month tour," Christina said. “He was my best friend and soulmate. The pain of losing him is overwhelming. I take comfort knowing he saved countless lives with his hard work. I am so proud of him.” Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Thomson, commanding officer of 2 Rifles Battle Group, to which Staff Sergeant Schmid was attached, said Schmid's bravery put him above the "best of the best." “Under relentless IED and small arms attacks he stood taller than the tallest. I adored working with him," Thomson told the Times of London. "No matter how difficult or lethal the task which lay in front of us, he was the man who only saw solutions. He saved lives in 2 Rifles time after time and for that he will retain a very special place in every heart of every Rifleman in our extraordinary battle group.”
