Cars?

[Kurt]

Top Gear returns on the 28th.

They go to India.

I cannot find this Top 40 thing yet.

It was their usual spots on mondays...on BBC. They may have a link shortly...

I did find a DVD on thebox.bz called Top Gear At The Movies and I am watching it now.

Hmmm. Good deal.

Do they try to recreate the Bond Corkscrew jump?

Do they try to recreate the Bond Corkscrew jump?

Yes. Again.

With the same MG that they used last time but this one is white.

I guess he's a fan of the Terminator. This is the first time i've seen an advertisement before a clip, but I imagine this is going to get a lot of hits:

Didn't know that they had already tried it.
I guess people are already putting the new Ford 5.0 into street rods. It makes unusual or maybe just unfamiliar noises. Sounds good, though.
Just got done fooling around in the garage. Pulled the broken rotary out of my RX7. Preparing to replace it with a 331 cube Ford race engine I happened to have sitting around. Ford 302s gravitate towards me. I'm a Crazy Ford 302 Guy. It's the male form of Crazy Cat Lady. Several of them in my garage should have been melted down years ago. I even have one sitting in a Volvo 240. I got it to crank before the RX7 stopped working. Will it still turn once infected with the Yank Tank V8 virus? My Mazda racing guru says it won't, but many others who have gone before me say it will. He made the mistake of making me take an RX7 home and leaving it without a chaperone.

The Coyote is a sweet engine that is for sure.

The Boss 302 has to be up there for Best Performance Per $$ category.

If I had an AC type car I would actually want Ford's v6 in it. 300hp would be plenty and the mileage would be excellent.

It's about time Ford got on the ball with its V6. Mine would have to be a coupe. I don't really like drop tops. But I think I might be more interested in their Project 818 with the WRX engine if I wanted to go small displacement.

My concept of a truck is slightly different...

Yah, they have to do something with that engine. I would like to see something to take on the Miata but with more American muscle. Or eliminate the base v8 Mustang and up the six to that level instead and keep the v8s for the GT/Boss/Shelby group.

GM tried to do that a few years ago. It was actually probably closer to the S2K. I guess it was a pretty decent car but it fell on its face in the market.

A taste of Top Gear:

Finally a hybrid I would consider:

Hybrids are sort of like Hemp Clothes. Hemp Clothing would be great if it was all denim or other useful items, or even for cool looking fashionable stuff.

But most Hemp clothes are all hippied out and much of the potential is missed. I think that will start to change though.

Cool, a flywheel storage system. Not too heavy, either.
