    Ahh..did I forget to mention I can do the same thing on a logging road and do regularly? I guess it comes down to lifestyle more than anything else. I like to be able to smoke 90% of the other cars on a twisty highway but also like to drive off-road quite often. You just can't do that with most sports cars other than the other rally racing descendants. I could have you wetting your pants in about 2 minutes on a logging road where the vette would be a pile of wreckage in 50 feet. Each his own I guess.

Christopher Duncan wrote: Remember, it's like Yoda said: "Always in motion is the future." The only thing you can be certain of is self imposed limitations. That's true. But the thing is though that the balance in the end between effort and earning will be negative, I think. If I could make $10 million in 10 years by working night and day, I don't think I would do it. I'm not so sure 10 precious years are worth $10 million. I think I'll settle with the ambition to visit as many parts of the world as possible before I take the 6 feet dirt dive. :) Christopher Duncan wrote: And can I drive your Bugatti when you're in town?

              Son - you got a problem. My current passion is - you guessed it - offroading. I have a Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer fully tripped out - GPS - real ground clearance ( 13.5 in ) a nice big V8 - nice big tires - 4 wheel of course and would be glad to go down any log road - rock trail - desert rally - or just cross country with you in your riding mower :) Seriously it is fun is it not Richard "The man that hath not music in himself and is not moved with concord of sweet sounds is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; Let no man trust him."

                Imagine a classic, classic shoe from years ago, Elaine. One that redefined the shoe world when it came out, blitzed runways and attracted the opposite sex like nobodies business (but gave you the sass to skim only the cream of the crop of course, no sk8r boiz for you). Now, years later they release a tribute shoe, one that is up to date with modern standards but still has the va va voom of that original shoe. Now imagine they also doubled the price. Thats the Ford GT40, as a shoe :-D regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red. Everything else is just a mistake." Crikey! ain't life grand?

                  Nice, but wassup with those doors? They open part of the roof too! :wtf: Have you seen this[^] beauty? Sure it's not as fast but it's not nearly as expensive as the GT.

                    I don't think anybody is going to drive it, even the makers... :P Terribly delayed, terribly redefined* and when it comes out, dated. Makes vaporware look positively on time. * It was ready a month or two ago but the boss drove it and declared it rode to hard to sell for *hack spit* the American market. So he sent it back. The engine has also apparently given monumental problems... like not working and such. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red.

                      ...but I like it. Indeed, an American automobile that I could fancy. What next, liking the French*? Get the November or December copy of Autocar for the roadtest of the Ford GT40. Pretty impressive even under the skin for an American targeted vehicle. * Ok, I already like their cars a lot regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red.
