The A8 is mostly aluminIum so doesn't have a huge magnetic signature. But the mental image is priceless! (I see the A8 swallowed an anvil and is being followed by magnetic pick-axes!)
I noticed the front plate has what looks like a Venezualan flag. Were I to guess, jilted lover or wife. And the placement of the pick-axes were all (except one) on different body panels! That was premeditated! :lol:

I recalled all the roads through Houston (through they were rebuilding them at the time in 2001), & perhaps the greatest Interstate in America, I-10 astride the Gulf-Coast through hundreds of miles of marshland, essentially a road over the Gulf & through a forest; surreal. I-75 down the western-side of Florida, a far faster route to take since it is all 8-lane with perhaps 1/2 the traffic of I-95 on the East-Coast. BTW, if you are headed to Miami pick-up the Florida Turnpike in Ocala... You are MUCH less likely to get a ticket as this is already a Florida-state toll-road (revenue for the state). It is an unwritten rule that until you hit Broward/Dade counties you will not be ticketed unless you are driving in a reckless manner.

Burt Reynolds was a tailback at Florida State University, for whatever it's worth to you.

Found out a lot of great roads in NC last weekend. Just stopped & asked the locals. No traffic or cops. Can make a write-up on them if anyone is heading for that area. The Elan (with the right tyres & 4-pot brakes) is the best mountain-car in the world if you want to drive at 99/100ths & live.

MRI on Tuesday. Everything was OK until 3/4 weeks ago. Doc thinks scar-tissue is attaching to the repaired nerve; causing the nerve to get "caught" & not move freely. It is very painful but like before I have no choice but to go under the knife again as it is getting worse everyday.

This is kind of fun if you're small-minded

...Someone managed to fix a video camera to a slot car, presumably to see what it's like if your car literally 'cornered on rails'?

It's quite a long download so be patient.

Pretty grueling watching that car go -- slightly nauseating -- but WAY COOL

One of my favorite 80s songs. At first, it was weird, then I started to laugh, then there were tears in my eyes. Enjoy!

I seem to have lost my video of Alan DeCadenet getting buzzed by the Spitfire. Anyone know of which I speak and have a link? It was truly funny.

Hmmm, just watched Top Gear and thought "Hey I've seen that Audi with pickaxes before..." Hmmm, any news about getting an Elan on their track?

I love "Victory By Design", but not that much. Might change my mind after the Lotus episode, though. :wink:

Thanks for the link! I have to mute the end, but my boys just love that...

This is one seriously demented video that would make even David Lynch squeamish. You have been warned.

Holy s**t, this is freaking crazy. Please be sure to have a spare 15 minutes to devote to this before you get sucked in. Clearly Costas used to drive a BMW . . . :shock:
