I think the point that is laboriously being headed towards is that a british cafe is like an american diner..

We passed these guys cruising south on the way home and then they met up with us at the PA Welcome Center. They were up in NY for the Syracuse Nationals.

And yet at about 5 minutes 8-10 seconds of the run, 5:23 or some of the video, he takes the time to wave to someone on the side of the road.

I cant work it out either. It doesnt seem to line up with anything the car is doing.

The car itself will run more boost than that display ever showed

After first watch I was tempted to post the last 2 minutes came close to Climb Dance in sheer insanity. Second watch - nooope, this beats even Climb Dance in raw Holy gently caress - actually beats even Petter Solberg in Ouninpolja

I thought maybe some kind of brake bias or center differential controller, but that's a pure guess.

Pretty sure it's a CD34 co-driver display, so it could be displaying almost anything from the computer. If i had to guess, i'd think maybe fuel flow, only hopping up over 30 under braking when the antilag is going nuts.

I live (somewhat) near Mt. Washington and have been up it in a rental car...at very slow speeds. If I was a passenger on that run I probably would have poo poo a hole through my pants.

They need to start broadcasting POV video on the same frequencies as the guys use for racing quads, fans can spend a hundo on a basic set of goggles so they can watch the whole runs, immersive like. Then they can all promptly vomit everywhere.

$1 million in marijuana found in brand new Ford Fusions

Word on the street is the new Ford Fusions are dope -- but not in the way you think.
Authorities are looking into how marijuana worth $1 million was hidden in the trunks of brand new, Mexican-made Ford Fusions at a dealership in Ohio, according to Silverio Balzano, agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration's Youngstown office.
The cars were manufactured at the Ford plant in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, and were shipped by rail into a CSX yard in Lordstown, Ohio, Balzano said.

Now, investigators are trying to discover where along the supply line the marijuana was packed into the cars -- and who failed to retrieve it.

I found a copy of the May 1999 issue of A-Cars, a Japanese magazine for fans of American cars. I'll post some more later if people are interested, but this was my favorite page, because I think this is the most stoked anyone has ever been on a 90s GM dustbuster van.

Kinda funny considering the context of him driving up a goddamn mountain with no guard rails.

This was a good watch (same event) from jalopnik until the tragic end.

actually, yeah, I am a little mad
Here's a side by side of that 240Z run with TP's record. It's cued up so the Z has some seconds' head start. When it switches to the crowd shot at around 3:08 of the record run timing is when Travis catches up, and then immediately overtakes on that uphill ess onto dirt, leaving the Z in the dust.

My wife and I have done "Minis on Top" a couple of times when we were living in NH. Driving up in a convoy of goddamn Mini Coopers is a hairy enough experience that watching the Pastrana video I had literal goosebumps and my mouth was agape. What a loving mad man! Great run!

No. Except I want a conventional upright engine poking up through the floor, so maybe not so much "sleeper".

Yeah, sort of like that, only a bit more streetable, and mid-engine.
