Travelling the US in an Elise

Doug just put up a video of Jared and his trip across the US in their Elises. They drove 8000+ miles in 25 days and met many other Lotus owners across the country, I met them for dinner when they stopped of in the Bay area.

Sweet!!!

That was Lewis Hamiltons response when he was asked for his thought on becoming the first driver in F1 history to finish on the podium in his first three races.

Hamilton is the real deal and is very much like Valentino Rossi in MotoGP – a racer who is blindingly fast and still enjoys his racing. Compare that to Alonso and Kimi who look as if their dog died even after they win, its pretty obvious that Hamilton is going to the next F1 superstar. I just hope that Rossi switches over to F1 someday – Hamilton Vs Rossi would be the ultimate entertainment.… Read the rest

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.
