Meanwhile, in Scotland...
@Blackfoot: Gotta be hasn't it?
I'm gonna cry if the Z3M Coupe doesn't get through in the omplicated other process thingy...
@Jakooboo would do anything for a Klondike Bar.: You're the only one to say moobs, damn you.
Attack our British teeth, but never the moobs man!
Sob sob...
Bike have never been what they look like, and that is no exception.
Sounds like it will go like a bat out of hell though...
" is built on the same ash frame "
Grrr... It's not built on an ash frame. It's built on a bonded aluminium chassis.
Ash is used extensively in the construction, and it's beautiful to watch the craftsmen at work in the factory. (The tour is well worth 10 quid of any petrolheads cash.)
Please get your facts right in the main article.
More importantly, who's the cute biscuit in the pic???
@GasGuzzler:
Isn't Audi four rings???
Hasn't Ross Brawn been down this road already???
How to stop Formula One being a race with one Button.

I think the F1 boys are missing a trick here witht their KERS systems. If they ran on Hydrogen, the waste product would be water.
If they used the regenerative braking to run a compressor, they would effectively be charging up a rocket...
I know there's a lot of "if" in the above paragraphs, but it could be a giggle to watch!
@Danimal:
That would be because no one is mending any of our roads, they just keep getting worse. And they've put more speed bumps in, so we ahve two reasons.
The only way to make progress without ruining your car is in a 4wd.
Think I might move onto a horse soon, since all the roads will be rubble soo, it will be the best alternative!
I got a 1992 Toyota Estima Emina called Emily.
I think all things that cost lots of money and heartache, yet give such pleasure, should be female.

@louiebaby:
(And Bugatti, and some of Scania.)
@Street_Race_13:
Volkswagen owns Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Skoda, Seat and their own commercial vehicle division.
They may soon own Porsche Cars too...
If the engine and drive train are OK, I call dibs.
(Project car may well be a Mini One D.)

Simon George, who writes in EVO magazine in the UK about his ownership experiences of a Lamborghini Murcilago LP640 runs a few Subway franchises, and in one of his columns said he had to use the toy to deliver when a bout of flu left them short handed.
This looks like a kid with a sign and a camera phone to me though.
Good work. Made me chuckle.
I've got a Japanese market Toyota Estima. (It's like a Previa but a tiny bit narrower for their tax laws.) I've strippped out the back seats, and fitted a futon with a full sized double mattress. There's also space for a powered cool box and some luggage.
Most petrol heads can't guess what mid engined, 2.2l turbo'd, two seater with 4wd I've got...
:-)
(I call the van "Emily.")
You guys are still lucky with your gas prices. In the UK we saw the equivalent of $15 a gallon last weekend just down the road from my place.
(£1.99 a litre x 3.8 = £7.56 per US gallon)
(£1 = about $2.)
On the other side of the coin, our regular is 95 octane, premium is 98, and near some racing tracks you can get stuff with an octane of 102...
