Bugatti Veyron + Rich Saudi Arabian Guy = SWEET

I was impressed with Lewis Hamilton's debut race though! Second for most of the race, led for a while and then 3rd overall.

you are right, the was awesome (i cant forgive myself for not mentioning him)
i would have really wished he could have staid in second place, i have no love for Alonso, it probably was a pit game... to

bad the man was great
But what its important is that he know he can do it, and that is going to be great for his moral !

I'm hoping Red Bull gets some improvements though. Go Mark Webber and Go Australia! w00t!

yeah, Webber did a great race, to bad that car is not top shape, maybe the are going to get things sorted in the next couple of races

Hehe, I should really get my "car" mod done this summer... I'm juggling so many ideas around I can't settle with one. I'd like to get a car mod done, I already laid out my Bugatti idea, but I'm not sure about it..

Link to the Bugatti design...
(bah, my images are down right now, I'm switching servers around.)

I'm so glad people are talking about the skyline, it is such a perfect car for this forum. That car is all about "overlcocking" and modding, it's engine can take a beating, plus the car itself can be altered to suit many different situations, weather you drift, or you want speed.

yeah, the skyline is a remarkable, car, the damn thing has a G meter in it !
it has 4x4 drive, it has a computerized central differential that will adjust the torque balance according to the terrain conditions, and lets not forget the HUGE power reserve in that engine, that thing is pure GRUNT !

I've heard people say that some of the top skylines, with all the performance mods on them, have better handling than some of the top dollar Ferraris

Cool looking car!

I feel kind of ashamed, but, I had never seen that Volvo before in my life.
Never.
Wow.
What engine did it usually run?
Is it also a rwd? Or fwd?

it is FWD, it was an old volvo made in the late 70's to early 90's, the have recently reinvented it as a C30

Wierd...
As to your 740... sure it wasn't a 2.3L engine?
I don't know everything about them, but I think they started at 4cylinder 2.1Liters... then 2.3Liters.
Those where the BF21 and BF23 engines, respectively.

Im sure, i was bemused myself, the volvo shop said it is the only 2.5 inline 5 he had ever seen, and to top that it had a HUGE turbo, and an overdrive

Yeah, at speed, the 740 is good.
I had one, but got rid of it soon... as I liked the 242 better.
Good cars. Very good cars.

Its all about personal taste, but i never liked the 242, i prefur the 700, 900 and 400 series.
my personal fav at current release is the S80

ive never heard of ipd, i know of a few mod Co.s in the UK though for volvos.

Oh sweet mother of....I just love that creature.

You should have heard it drive off. It just growled, and was gone.
