Those popped up on Jalopnik several months ago (might have been that video) and I immediately wanted one...so now I have full build plans for a couple versions laying around. I'm just trying to figure out if it would be more fun than a Lotus 7 type and if I could register it for street use.

That bit made the 18 hours or whatever I spent watching the live feed worth it. Two or three other cars had fired up and driven out of the convention center before they started the Camaro and no one cared. Then they started it up for the first time after wrenching on it for three days (did anyone think they wouldn't!?) and that lady got all huffy and stormed off. Then when they decide to start it up one more time for giggles she just happened to be walking over towards them anyway and Finnegan reacted in the only way he knows how.

Roadkill continuing to be the best thing on youtube and probably the best car show on anything.

He's doing everything wrong. You're not allowed to exceed 30 km/h before exiting the cones, and you're certainly not allowed to run timing equipment during turistenfahrten.

Things I noticed from that video: His 3rd gear must be shot, it looks like he has a real hard time getting it into 3rd. Also, either he went WAAAAY too fast into the karussell, or new cars makes it significantly less terrifying.

It isn't. He's very likely to be banned for life if a track official finds out.

The "wins / loses" bit is funny since the difference in drivers is as big a factor as the difference in cars - whoever was in the S certainly knows how to pull a decent reaction time. The guy in the Corvette was drat near asleep at the light the first time around.

Either way... impressive as all hell.

It has english subtitles and they seem to be putting out new episodes every monday. I know Teemu is a cool dude and these guys have a bit of a reputation so I'm dying to see the final product.
