Abloutly, I need to catch up his blog. The Midlana is great, but has a few uneeded axtras for me, like a second seat, windshield, lights, you konw that kind of crap :) Current British Hillclimb champ Scott Moran in the Gould GR61/NME using a 3.5-litre Nicholson-McLaren V8 in a chassis that makes an F1 car look big, heavy and cumbersome. Depleted uranium nads are not optional for this ride!

May 2nd 2009 at 85.

I did meet him once at a Hillclimb at Harewood, one of my first ever events in my Opel Manta, he was then driving a converted FF2000 I seem to recall it was mainly black. I was so awed by him all I could do was mutter a respectful hello.

To date this is still one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen happen to a car, wheels coming off at highway speed are serious business. The driver managed to come out alive (though a very bad shoulder dislocation) which is a damn miracle. The e36 was a goner. The owner of the wheel was found eventually as well, not sure if he got his wheel back.

I'm pretty sure that is a concept draft of one of Santorum's Anti-Obama campaign commercials if he gets the nomination. Seems he's responsible for the Shuttle tragedies.

okay, okay, couldn't resist, don't take it personally, let's move on to car pictures....
