Watched Top Gear yesterday and they were doing a piece on getting a silver S-Type diesel Jag round the Nurburging in under 10 minutes (which they did eventually) and on one piece to camera, a red LS1 Z28 was coming in through the booths. Gotta be one of you guys.

Did they say anything about it?
How sweet would it be for them to come down to Bitburg and watch them get smoked by the Hawk

Does the Jaguar weigh weigh too much or not have proper power? I've hustled a Mercedes diesel around the ring much quicker.

Ha Ha... How about them getting smoked by a sh*tbag Corsa.

Clarkson eventaully did it in 9m 59 but was impeded by zero knowledge of the 'Ring, traffic and at least 3 "offs". I believe 10 minutes is an average of 78mph. The Jag has something like 209bhp but even Golfs were overtaking him to begin with and it was wet.
The girl who holds or has held the record for the Nurburgring jumped in and posted a 9m 12 second circuit and she wasn't messing about.
They didn't say anything about the Z28, I just happened to see it in the bcakground and thought it looked wicked.

Three cheers for Sabine. I bet she made Clarkson look like a beginner (not that he cares).

Hey Stef, did you draw your avatar pic? That is cool. I don't suppose you could do one of those of MY car, could you?

I've seen a link to a gallery with those comic-style cars before ... don't think they had any F-Bodies, though ...

Nope, I "borrowed" it from some website.

I'm just imagining ... Stef comes to his garage one morning, and his GT3 actually looks like the Porsche in the drawing
