I used to go to it; it's good fun. It was always funny seeing all the Beetles and Ghias broken down on the drive from Tampa to Dade City.

I stopped taking pictures after a while because once you've seen 10 Astons...

Love that second photo btw. Mister high roller at the strip club, looks like he's popped in to argos for some cheap housewares.

I can't move for Maserati Granturismos, feels like it's the most exotic car that people still feel comfortable leaving parked on the street.

The beater Aston, the street parked R8, the Turbo some guy clearly gives no gently caress about, that's London in a nutshell. I live by Chelsea Harbour where we get to hear all the footballers roaring past in their cars. The latest set is a Gallardo LP560 which sounds glorious, and a blacked out SLS with straight pipes that sounds less than.

Hell that unreleased Aston I posted a few pages back was in the Sainsbury's carpark :v:

It's from Who Am I, which I watched on a cross-country bus trip through Cambodia last summer. It was dubbed into English, with Khmer subtitles. It owned.

Any time you see a Mitsubishi Evo doing awesome ridiculous movie things, it's probably a Jackie Chan movie.

It hasn't been washed in ages, has a London borough parking permit and the subsequent little dents and scratches on it, and is only a few years old judging by the number plate :psyduck:

It's taken from a special they did at the Indianapolis 500. The driver was a "mystery driver" per the program, but in reality that's Tanner Foust.

Yeah, I can see why you'd think that. Most of the trophy style trucks have midengine setups to balance weight. You wouldn't want to jump over 300 feet and be nose heavy.

Also, I got a free ticket to the Friday festivities for the USGP. I saw both sessions of the F1 practice and caught some glimpses of the Historic GP. I had no idea that the Tyrrell P34 was still being driven, much less raced.

Here's a so-so camera phone video of turn 19.
