Only in London could you park a car like that, stuffing one tiny car between two small cars. It looks funny that this electric car is parked its nose to the sidewalk while all the others are parked normally. I really detest this little electric car, makes me want to kick it over every time I see it, I even think that I would be able to kick it over with just one kick. Even the smart car looks like a thing of beauty compared to this contraption. I think that everyone who drives this car thinks they are doing wonders for the environment and they are better then everyone else, I don’t think its doing anything for the environment but thats just my opinion. I love the mini cooper, and they think the Tesla & Chevy Volt are amazing machines, but this little machine is a piece of crap that should be thrown in the trash.
After seeing the announcement on Marks blog last night I knew that there is a lot to look forward to for GulfRun. This year I want to be a little bit more prepared for it then last year and I know a lot of people area geared up to go. I’m not sure what to expect but I know its going to be good. A lot of people are getting ready for the track, they have been asking about the dates for a while now but at last they are set and I can plan around it. Now to order some car parts before the year end and get it installed. Above are my favorite pics from the GulfRun 5 Car Show, you can check them out at the recently updated GulfRun website.
These are some of my favorite pictures, that kid looks like he is the King of all the cars and the guys below checking out their times at the track.
Now the dates are set and we have a target ahead of us. Now the website has all the pics and all the racing results from past years, too bad I never get up there!

This is pretty damn funny video! GoRemy put together this videos about Aaa ooo dees! lol
I usually restart my computer every once in a while to stop it from crashing all the tabs I have open in my Firefox browser. I make sure to check that all that pages loaded up nicely, and then I saw this on the GulfRun. I started trying to sneak around the website but nothing was coming up so I emailed and they told me to wait a little while, something is coming up.
The Corvette is a beautiful creature which challenges a lot of the machines across the water from the Germans, and Italians and to the Japanese. Now Romeo Ferrari is a tuning company out of Italy who are known to tweak their machines to extremes. It seems they went across the Atlantic to work on their next specimen, the Corvette Z06.
RF has taken the Z06 and fitted a supercharger to the 7.0-liter LS7 V8 resulting with a monstrous 667 bhp and 607 lb-ft of torque. With all the modifications this machine gets to 62 mph in 3.3 blazing seconds and up to 211 mph. Thats assuming you can control this car and get all the power out, and they have fitted the brakes to stop it to a halt. Now they have taken every body piece off the Corvette and crafted every Carbon Fiber piece to make it extremely light and looks extremely mean and scary.
This cop is really on a power trip and didn’t feel like giving this guy a ticket, lucky guy got away without getting a ticket. In my case I would have been screwed by the cop, its usually my luck. How in the hell did he manage to record that without getting caught, but the cops’ warning was funny.
I thought the new 5 series looks pretty good, it has the potential to be one mean car. I think they have something good to work with to make the M5, but it seems like Russia just aren’t up to waiting for that new look. They have taken the Lumma package and slapped every possible carbon fiber piece they could find onto this beautiful machine.
TopCar’s Kevlar and carbon fiber body package for BMW’s 5-Series F10 includes front bumper with LED side markers, rear bumper with diffuser, fitted quad exhaust system and R19 Lumma wheels. I’m sure this package costs a pretty penny.

When in Las Vegas one of the top things on my list to do was to go to Exotics Racing. The best choice of high end vehicles to drive all in one stop and for a relatively cheap price for what you could do with these machines. Have a choice of several super cars and for a bunch of guys its like a kid in a candy store. I have always wanted to drive a Scuderia on a track before since I have heard that it’s just an amazing machine to drive. Then there are so many other beautiful machines, and you have these amazing track instructors with you. There is also a drift ride in a Corvette Z06, and they go through 10 sets of tires a day for that corvette. Honestly the whole thing was a hell of a lot of fun for a cheap price.
You get in the car you chose, you get about 5 laps per car and you have a combination of vehicles if you want. In my case I only want to drive of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, some of my friends took the Ferrari F430 F1 and the Lamborghini LP560. The is endless, you have all these vehicles on the track: Lamborghini LP640, Lamborghini LP560-4, Ferrari F430 F1, Ferrari F430 Scuderia, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Audi R8, and Porsche Carerra. The only thing they were missing was a Porsche GT3 or Turbo, but they have every thing else you could imagine. You jump in the seat and the trainer gets in the car with you, you would think they would tell you take it easy, but in my case the guy made me floor the gas and turn hard, and at time I thought I was going to spin out but it held on. I was loving every moment of it, the only thing I wanted was a bigger track to enjoy some more high speed turns then this short one. All the driving range from $200 to $500 which depends on the car and combinations, I would recommend it for anybody going to Las Vegas and they are supposed to be opening in Los Angeles soon, I’m just hoping its going to be very soon.

Speed Racer is one those shows that everyone used to love, and every kid wanted to have the Mach 5 and ChimChim the Chimp. With Gotham Garage’s scale replica of the Mach 5, built on a classic Corvette C-4 chassis, and even offers rotating, retractable sawblades and push-button chrome steering wheel you can have that toy. With 345 horsepower this car is no joke and a lot of fun, I honestly wish they built it on the C6 Corvette which is the current generation corvette. But not sure what the price tag of the machine is, but who ever has it is one lucky guy.

The Paris Autoshow is where every Automaker shows off their new machines, being it new production cars or concept cars. This year had a few interesting line ups but I wanted to see was the new 6 Series, and it looks good based on these pictures. Now this is the standard 6 series, not the M6 which will probably be following a few years later. They will pop a V6 twin turbo in the the 6 series and a V8 twin turbo into the M6 just as the they are in the 5 series. I for one am looking forward to seeing the M6 as BMW usually never disappoints.
