^^ the sound of acceleration just gave me goosebumps ...

is that Toyota a Supra? a friend in the US had one that was 1100bph... frikken death machine...

hmm Gina looks flexible and emotional all right... but as philjay points out ...the safety aspect would be severely compromised, be like driving a very large motorbike

Try to keep on-topic you, what do you think this is a MotoGP thread?! ;]

^ you know your aching to start one :p ....Im just dangling the carrot ;)

I never realised he raced in MotoGP until a few days ago, looks like i've found someone to follow ^_^ Slides the bike around like that regularly and rides for Ducati!

hmm Stoner/Rossi/Melandri/Capriossi ( see Italians are great at everything!) ...not just Ducs but Yami's R6/1 ....and even MV Agustas!

perhaps a new thread....

• runs & hides*
  

...but I don't have Puma Yamahas...

=P

^ you know how we can change that :p

remember the c\card discussion? ...yup.... say no more :)

Hahaha quite an idea there ^_^

Saw a guy restoring one of these today. It is in decent (ish) nick, but the guy was going for concours. good luck fella.

  stoner is aus!!
  

yes that is a toyota supra, with a massive turbo (and possibly nitrous to help spool the turbo).

i've always loved that m3 clip

^ yes I know..didnt explain that right... Michael knows what I mean, it was a private joke... he said he was going to follow Stoner coz he rides a Duc and I took the piss out of him being Australian ... it was all tongue in cheek of course, I said, follow the champs ...Rossi/Melandri/Capriossi( all good things come out of italy ) ...

But you're an Aus- actually, nevermind =P Melandri ftw! =D

Massive Country of Origin FAIL!!!
