    So, you think your crew is fast?

    That's cute. Here is the Audi LeMans team changing the transmission and rear suspension on an R8, mid race, in about 4 minutes. IIRC, the leaders where lapping in about 3:30... they almost didn't go a lap down... https://youtu.be/sKjVQbYcTiY Un frikkin believable.

    Can we open a "pitbull" section?

    I think it would be great under "relationship" Because this is getting ridiculous.

    News: Renault Alpine Vision Concept 2016

    Is MR still worth your time?

    With all the current trolling, multiple account, constant bickering, equal parts of mod overmoderating/undermoderating, the advent of the matantism and loss of general technical expertise, is it really worth it to spend so much time on MR? I tried to stop, several times, and I always come back...

    Modern DTM, this car farts in your general direction...

    A tiny little sample of what used to be, and IMHO still is, the ultimate in Touring Cars. Not in term of races (the races were often processionala and overtaking was few and far between), but this car is what the Space Shuttle wants to be when it grows up. Soooooo much cutting edge technology...

    King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia dead

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-30945324 Will this bring stability or blow everything to hell? I heard the royal saudi family is truly gigantic and he was the one kinda holding everything together in the past. At 91, he was maybe just a figurehead, but what do you guys think?

    See Jacques Villeneuve trounce the opposition... Some really weird machinery in there, not to mention a young Dave Despain! I'd lol at the "oh, did we mention some guy died during the race" cursory mention at the end if it were someone's life. Time they are a-changing. If it were today, you...

    Autre trouvaille Kijiji - Formule Un en bois

    Mayerz m'a donné le goût de trouver des choses bizarres sur Kijiji.... On ne fait pas plus bizarre que ça, selon moi. http://qc.kijiji.ca/c-autos-et-vehicules-voitures-depoque-Kit-car-de-formule-1-en-bois-W0QQAdIdZ261948571 Le prix est peut-être (beaucoup!) optimiste, mais j'aimerais...

    Crazy MINI @ Stowe's British Invasion

    I do not know if any of you went, but on Sept. 19, it was the 19th British Invasion at Stowe, in Vermont.  On top of a truly great ride in some of the best scenic roads, you get to see all sorts of fine British machinery.

    1987 Merkur XR4Ti - 500$ (nego.)

    Too many projects and not enough space or mechanical acumen forces sale. 87 XR4Ti, 269000km (168000miles). Was a rolling project when I bought it in fall 2006 to use as a winter car. It ran great for one winter (2006-2007), then it was stored and tragedy ensued. During a hot summer, mildew...
