Yeah, what would be the line up?
Merc: C class vs SLR vs McLaren MP4/23
BMW: 135i vs WTCC racer vs F1.08
Audi: R8 vs DTM car vs R10 TDI (though TG wouldn't want a diesel to win) |

That clip made me all teary-eyed at the loss of the great Colin MacRae..
Anyway, my suggestion for a similar match-up:
Toyota F1
Camry NASCAR
Lexus LF-X (is that what it's called?) _________________

What a nice chap, I would be proud to say it was I who careered into the crowd, than apologised for my thoughlessness.
Here's me Nobby, Chalky and Ginge at the Paris Grand Prix in 1937 wearing our smart racing whites.
We all had hangovers from the Cognac the night before to steady our nerves and sharpen our senses for the coming race. How things have changed. _________________ "The multiplying villainies of nature do swarm upon him." |

I love the 'F1 vs bike' that this suggests as a follow-on. The bike stays with an F1 car through the corners.

WW was a little wrong when he mused about how long it would be before Vauxhall broughtout a 5 door Calibra. Still he foresaw the rise of the 4 door coupe 20 years ago. |

An ex collegaue of mine has someting similar made out of a MkI Capri, he is into Street Legal drag racing. His is a phenomenal car and the amount of work he put into it was amazing. Don't know how fast it was but it sounded and looked awsome. _________________ Mummy, Daddy, Sissy, Sassy Baby. |

My favourite ad, which also reminds me of me as that is my favourite expletive and I was given a bollocking by Tina few days ago as my 9 yo said it when she dropped her bag after school.

Not at all... though imagine what a 2* supermini would look like!
It isn't surprising though, the Q7 is at least twice the mass of the 500, and carries much more inertia...
Still not good for small car drivers is it? _________________ Remember - A gym without chalk is a heath spa... |

^^^^ I've always wondered at what stage in a drummer's career it is that they are obligated to learn the 'stick spin'.
I'm of the opinion that real, decent drummers don't need showboating stick-spinny nonsense.
(The drummer from Avenged Sevenfold falls into the twattich stick-spinning category. For fuck's sake man, just hit one of the skins or a bloody cymbal. You'll have your eye out!)
I blame Tommy Lee. _________________ Arms held out, in the Jesus Christ Pose. |
