Yet another "today I saw a..."

I saw this on the M1 yesterday -

ooo nice, a golf.

that would be the V8 chappy then? 2 door omega?

Isn't that a new shape MR2? (c:

Alright, you win on the frighteningly-large-picture-with-small-subject stakes, and perhaps the rarity factor (we don't see many Lambos round these parts) but here's one I took probably about a year ago:

My favourite bit is the upside down speed camera sign on the left.

As far as I can ascertain from this interweb thing, yes its got a 5.7 litre V8 and 3 hundred and something ponies.

I think it's quite cool that it looks so normal, to my mind it would mean less attention from mr fuzz and potential racers, but still a bit of respect from people in the know.

Anyway, the batteries in my mouse have died so I'm stuck on this window. Time for bed methinks.

Yup, it's an Omega (or a Pontiac GTO) fitted with the LT1 5.7V8 from the Corvette.

vroom.

I think I've decided to buy a new Mustang, just humming and ahing about which one, exactly.

i saw the pickup version recently, very nice;

Yus, just like every other 5.7 litre sub £30k UK car.

Now if I was in a pickup truck mod it would be the first time for me to be tempted by a diseasel. There's a 300bhp Cummins 6.8L diesel in the Dodge Ram. Or then again the F150 looks pretty good as well.

Dodge all the way, but really the V10 petrol is the way to go. Of course, the worlds fastest truck is a diseasel -

Or the car the Vectra calls on in a "My brothers bigger than your fight".

oh dear, i hope you dont think their is any relation between the two, the vectra was adopted if you take genetics into consideration.

Hmmm, I think the Holden was the adopted one. VX needed something with a six pack not a beer belly, and who do you call when you need anything beer related and sexy, Ausies of course. Now real beer is british, but it comes in kegs. Not half as appealing to the Laydeeeez.

no I hate the bastards.

I've never seen a road sign that says 70 on it before. What's wrong with a "national speed limit" sign?

Seen them in Wales on the A55.

Dunno, they have 70 signs at the start of and on the slip roads of quite a lot motorway and dual carriageways round here instead of your run of the mill NSL signs.

Get the 5.7L Hemi Magnum version and run it on gas...

or the SRT10 I saw at the NEC, 500ci 500hp 500lbfeet

i always loved dodge rams tho
