Two fun things for today. First up, the sound of an angry god(s): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Regbt75Dt5g Secondly, F1 lawnmower racing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJRomcjprwY

Was stuck in construction traffic behind a McLaren P1 today for a few miles creeping along at ~20kph. As the construction ended and the speed limit started creeping upward he stuck at 30kph. I realized what he was doing but everyone else was just laying on the horn. He was waiting for the road ahead to clear a bit and was flashing high beams to warn those ahead. The instant we crossed under the unrestricted sign (no speed limit) he launched. I don't know what was better...the sound, the fireballs or the car just turning into a spec in the distance. One of the more amazing things I've seen and I've been around plenty of super cars, this thing is just something else. McLaren P1...it went plaid

The P1 seems more spaceship than car to me, and I mean that in the best way possible.

GM had a spaceship van fleet of their own in the early 90's     None of them could do cool stoppies, though. Root Bear fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jul 11, 2014 |

You want weird? Try working on one of these babies: Toyota Previa. The engine was under the driver's seat.

It's AI, and Previas are AI as gently caress? I mean seriously, supercharged Minivan. That's even cooler than Rut's 40psi, 1,000hp turbocharged Honda Odyssey from this week's Top Gear US. EDIT: Here, for content, the aforementioned van.

Yeah but flipping up the drivers seat to fill it with oil and that bullshit propshaft accessory setup wasnt. I personally hate Previas and its a game of hot potato any time one comes in for service.

They were stupid expensive when released. I wonder if the owner has the lamb skin cover that came with the car. I've never even seen one in person. If I were you, I would have spent hours staring at it. Awesome. exempt fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jul 11, 2014 |

Lighter than a Toughbook and cheap to replace when the abuse and rain kills them. A tablet would be a nightmare for what we do, we need a keyboard. But 13" found his in a bin.

A bunch of vintage racing photos got put online.   Great moment, but I have a feeling it didn't end well for the occupants of the car. The guy took thousands of pictures of racing in the 30's: http://www.motoringpicturelibrary.com/Images?location_id=5&filter=brunell+racing+classic+motor+sport
