I might see "The Ring" before the Isle of Man. A Berliner we know wants us (gf) to come over and put us up for a month.

Decent vid but a long download. I wish he would have STFU so I could hear the Aston better :)

Lucky you eh... hey maybe you should time it when the F1 circus goes to the neutered "ring"... :D

Neutered"ring"?!!? The cars out grew the course! MotoGP will never run at the Isle. Only classic and vintage"should"
run the TT. They still average 1-2 deaths a year on course during TT week. It was ironic Joey"your mahn"Dunlop
bought it at that eastern European track(forgot name)and not the Isle :)

Well, we're talking about a quarter million dollar car.... And a car that can't be financed.

I imagine it can be financed, even if it would be a stupid thing to do. I remember reading a few years ago about the owner of a Diablo that was involved in a triple-fatality street racing accident in NY a few years ago (he was racing a blown Vette, and one of them collided head-on with a Volvo). The article said he paid half of the $250K in cash, and financed the rest on a long-term loan akin to a mortgage. I guess in a tragic way he probably got what he wanted out of his money . . .

That part was hilarilous.


btw, bR, if you encoded this, please do a better job next time. 11 mins at that resolution can be made to about 40mb with proper encoding. 10mb/min is way to much.
