On SPEED even! I know I'm surprised too. Fans and followers were unsure. They have always done good coverage but I am actually quite pleased with this year! They started Wednesday with two classes, T2 and Formula Mazda, I kind of forgot about it so I forgot to record it, nice, but I woke up early enough today not for the 3:00am viewing of the T2 class but the 4:00am running of the Formula Mazda and boy was it good and if this is what I have to look up to for future Wednesdays, then I am extremly excited for all the other classes. I know they already happened but the TV coverage starts. They will run coverage every Wednesday from of course this Wednesday with Formula Mazda and T2, to the beginning of Febuary, I think the 11th. Each Wednesday they will show two classes. One at 12:00PM and one at 1:00 pm and repeats of those classes the next morning at 3:00 am and 4:00 am. Again, I am actually pleased with the coverage, barely any commercials, great amounts of racing, great hosts, and an hour long? you kidding me??? I was thinking more like 30 minutes for each race but hey I am definetly not complaining. Even though they are on at dumb times, not too many people might be able to actually see them during the day or early morning, it's like the winter months with V8 Supercars, BTCC and DTM. They even had time for interviews at the end! YEAH! They actually have a heart! and for SCCA! and the SCCA lovers! I am actually happy that they are showing the FULL and UP TO DATE Formula Drift series/championship too but I am actually pleased with how SPEED is actually giving us this with great coverage and all the classes as they seem to only want to show their stupid shows later instead of this, which personally I think would get more viewers and more people watching SPEED and the coverage, but if you don't have the schedule or don't already know about it then you won't see them becuase they are practically hidden, no commercials. can't wait for next Wednesday........ E Production, love the production classes, The Miatas and swarms of Mazdas and some Super 7's (Caterhams) etc.are now in it and such. Bugeyes and Sprites and Minis and all them are still in H Production right? SCHEDULE here you go, look at it, print it out and thumbtack it up in front of you at your work bench or whatever, enjoy http://www.scca.com/documents/2008%20Runof...-tvschedule.pdf for people that don't know or haven't really heard of them, here is what it's all about! although if you clicked on this you probably know what the Runoffs are. VIDEOS this is actually the 08 F Production race Spec Miata I'm partial to the H Production class I love WRC and ALMS and F1 and BTCC and Speed World Challenge but dang is this my favorite!!!

OH BOY!!!! -
actually the Silver Shadow, isn't that high priced. They never were, smae with all the older sports cars, they never were real expesive until the supercar wave came along. The older sports cars are still not getting the credit with auctions, Ferrari's bring some millions but that's because they are WORTH that and the buyers still drive them. But classics like this and others, become unnoticed, maybe bringing some coin but I really only see them in Classic Motorsports and such. I dunno, to me a 1960s Rolls Royce or Mercedes is more valuable then a plain jain 69 Mustang. Now I like this Rolls, classic style sports car with a supercharged V8 gotta love it! Maybe can't do turns well but hey. They never did handle like a Lotus in the cornes anyway, this is probably lighter then stock.

GM on the critical list
Nick F40 replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
yeah, even though in ties with GM, I like how the Saturn Astra has the EXACT same name as the Opel Astra, basically a new Kadett, hmm no individuality anymore! Come on Saturn, nice one. Although Sport Compact Car said it is a nice car and is great handling and with power, that's right, cars can be fast withut a V8 and RWD, some people still don't seem to get it, and looks actually good which surprises them, because they are with me on the jellybean mold used now even though it is an Opel with Saturn badges, Opel quality and performance and name though. It's like the Subaru Impreza and the Saab 9-2X, a rebadged Impreza, same engine and everything, even interior, literally. The DTM version is still top. yeah that's becuase you guys know how to build cars, us American GM don't. The Europeans just build better cars, that's all that's too it and the Japanese are coming up as well. -
Oh man am I still waiting, describes exactly who I'm looking for I love BBS LM's on these, but what are the Wegen wheels? ever hear of Desmonds? oh are they pretty wheels!

Nick F40 replied to Nick F40's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yeah, I think it would be a fun thing to drive, i'd drive it, a turbo bumper car.....can you imagine if Top Gear got a hold of these? -
