anime52k8 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I just can't get past the way that the front end looks like it has a fu manchu. it's one of those thing where once you see it, you can never un-see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Gah, ruined forever! (for me at least, now) Personally, I can't think of a single car that had a large, low-mounted grille that I think looked good. I can however, think of many that had small, tapered front ends that looked awesome. (I do so love wedge-shaped cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeleader1 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Just got the results back from the track I finished 13th out of 20. Not bad for my second race of my career. The Minion(Mineon?) lives to see another race so I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renegadeleader1 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Its Labor day, and I'm back at Hudson Speedway for what will likely be my last race of the year. The season is winding down and there aren't that many dates left on the schedule. Aside from the Halloween Howler at Star Speedway which can best be described as a demolition derby where laps count my division isn't running. The car count isn't too high because of the holiday so I might be able to make a podium spot with a little luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renegadeleader1 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Without a doubt the scariest thing about driving a race car is that moment when you lose it in the turn, end up facing the wrong way and you see that one guy coming at you head on... It happened to me twice today. Thank god they missed. Started 8th, won't know where I finshed untill later in the week. I also goofed and left an HGUC Nemo and G-GenerationsF SD Guncannon I had bought earlier in the trunk the entire race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikElvis Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) well it happened. my worst fear. I've had this car for about 7 or 8 years. was apart in the garage for about 4. got it back together about 4 months ago. haven't even put 3 tanks of gas through it. maybe drove it about six times and was rear ended. now the damage isn't bad but it will take a lot of work to fix it. not to mention paint that prob won't match. the fact its not going to be original anymore kills me. but I guess ill sell it and look for something else. oh and fyi it was a 2002 last year when they quit making them and just turned 30k miles.

Agent ONE Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I hit a deer doing 140 in my M3 just weeks after getting it (yeah I know stupid, but I was 23 so...). I was SO sad.

Kanedas Bike Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sorry to hear that Erik Elvis. If I recognize the area correctly then it's one of the hazards of driving in S. FL, drivers down there are some of the worst I've ever seen. Kind of on topic, some kid drove past me so past in a Challenger SRT8 I thought the doors on my Taurus SHO were going to fly off. Not that I was driving fast or zipping through traffic but the guy driving blew past me so fast I thought maybe we were in a race down the street and someone forgot to tell me. -b.

areaseven Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 This is Classic Motor Cars' Jaguar Mark 2, an 18-month resto-mod project commissioned by Jaguar Cars' director Ian Callum. The classic body is enhanced with a modern bumper and four louvers on each fender. It sits on 17-inch split-rim spoke wheels and is lowered by 30 mm. The entire mechanical system has been modernized with the Jaguar XK's 4.3 liter V8, 5-speed manual transmission, independent rear suspension and upgraded disc brakes. 2014 Classic Motor Cars Jaguar Mark 2 by Callum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizman Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The Jag looks pretty nice but couldn't they have incorporated the touchscreen display a little more tastefully? It's like putting a hundred dollar aftermarket radio in a DB5, you just don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechuck Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Well it's an oldtimer that that they have revamped for modern times. But have you seen the MBs, modern cars that have a slate tacked on to the dash. Really ruins the cockpit.

reddsun1 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Chrysler has apparently just said: You know what. Fu*kit. So what if it's a 4400 lb f'ing boat. The Camaro ZL-1 appears to be able to put up some very close numbers in terms of performance; but can't seem to get anywhere near the Hellcat in terms of presence on the street and sheer knuckle-dragging attitude, if the auto rags are to be believed...

Yeah, I'd be in the mood of hurry up and fix, or hurry up and sale - just so I start to get over my anger/frustration. Delaware huh? LOL - I swear that looks just like a stretch of I-95 between Ft Lauderdale and Miami, shows what I know. Chrysler has apparently just said: You know what.

Truly. And again, I had to tip my hat to the SRT8's I've seen on the road - this however is just pure overkill. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddsun1 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Okay, how about this: stick that gen V LT-1 in the F-Type, and you've got yourself a winner. There is no arguing that Chevy makes some of the best N.A. small block engines ever. But the rest of the car(s) is/are sh*t. ed: I take that back; they're not all dog sh*t, I guess. Sister's got a '14 Camaro RS/SS, and I must admit: I like it. She's tossed me the key a few times, "you want to drive it while I'm out of town?" (the fool. the fool! mwa ha ha ha ha!) Plus, it gives me a benchmark for how well I can make my 'Roo stack up to new-gen muscle cars, when I get it back on the road.
