Cars and other kinds of motoring gibberish

I had to downgrade them to be able to upload them. I had a hard time taking pictures too. My camera had 1 second delay and by that time, the car was gone. :hehe: I always had someone in the field of view when McLaren-Mercedes or Ferrari were there. :(

Sorry no race queens. :P

And congrats to former Minardi/Jaguar driver Justin Wilson, got pole for the Champ Car race at Portland :victory: [/list:u]

LOL, chaos and massacre with this SCs and traffic lights :hehe:. Good that Kubica is safe and congrats to Hamilton :applaud:. Sato was also great at the end :applaud:.

One of our local sportscasters (Kurt Sandoval-channel 7) reported, "Lewis Hamilton is the first african-american to win an F1 race." [/list:u] I have since sent an email to the station asking how someone from Great Britain can be an "african-american'??? :headscratch:

massa and fisichella went through a red light at the end of the pit lane. how did they manage that when kubica was sat there waiting for the light to change? did they think he was sat there topping up his tan?

these drivers get paid millions!! :grumble:

But the Mazda's a a FWD, ne?

No idea.

According to Car & Driver, the 128i will be about $25K USD... A couple of grand more than a Mini Cooper S...

And the 128i will be a coupe, not a 3-door hatch as shown in the above pics: apparently Americans don't want to spend $25K+ for a hatchback... :shakehead:

That's pretty cheap for a BMW, i guess. But it will be a lot more than just $25K US converted to Aussie dollars if it ever gets here, I bet.

*edit* apparently they are available here... funny i've never seen one.

When my brother bought his 2002 in 1975, it cost all of $7500USD... Hard to imagine.

But it will be a lot more than just $25K US converted to Aussie dollars if it ever gets here, I bet.

Or never noticed... It's rather nondescript. :sweat:

I don't think it's too bad. But I prefer the Alfa Romeo hatches ;)

And what's with your brother with a BMW too? Is it a family thing?? :P
