I`d be more impressed if you could get a Pic off the Elan next to it (be a good pic for the Calender)

Bone-breaking action! Gotta give props to the pickup driver for keeping it going around the corner properly. There is a huge drop-off on most of this road.

Nice one Niters!
Some interesting stuff on Jay's site, the video on the 'Deronda' is also fun, talks about power to weight ratio and the Elan (original) gets another mention - Niter's link is all about the original Elan.

Top Gear space shuttle (really!)

Golfers?
This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen in a pro tournament.
Titleist in the corner pocketI wonder if they would have given the other guy the car if his had gone in instead?

http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/vid ... vid=187638A professional-mechanic looking rolling "toolbox" was included with the purchase of each new McLaren F1. Note especially the HUGE torque wrench about 4-feet long. Interesting the extreme effort they put into reducing weight of various components too.
