TVR Sagaris coming to the US – One kidney (slightly used) for sale

Autoweek is saying that the TVR Sagaris will be imported to the US in 2008. At an estimated $120k I will have to sell a kidney to buy one – will be worth it though.

How NOT to make a sports car commercial

The Audi R8 is a mid-engined supercar named after a 5 time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. You’d think that it would pretty easy to made a stirring advertisement for a car like that, what you do get is the most soul-less sports car advert I have ever seen in my life.

Recording in-car video for free

It is a great tool to analyze your performance and see how different lines have affected you laptimes – works even better when you have a DL1 or some other data logger.

Goodbye Michael!!! [Orig posted: 23/10/2006]

Last Sunday was the end of an era in F1 when Michael Schumacher finally hung up his boots. He may not have won his final race but he gave some moments of intense action that will not be forgotten soon. Here are some of the overtaking moves he made in his final race.

Overtaking Fisichella once again – he pressured Fisi in the final few laps until the Italian finally just cracked.

And finally a true balls to the wall maneuver down the inside of Kimi Raikkonen going into turn one.… Read the rest
