I'll always think the Aircooled Beetles are better looking cars!

Holy bad azz beetle, Batman!

That's pretty cool, but would get me in way too much trouble..." No officer - that 200mph fire ball you seen on 394 wasn't me..."

"Roll down the windows and open the sunroof for air intake"? Sounds like my kind of engineering. He was on Leno the other night, had to go to bed before his bit, though.

I'll take your word for it, but all the cars in the background look like American makes.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I had to look twice. But three things gave it away for me. One, the VW Sirrocco parked in the background, has a long yellow rear license plate, Two, on the overhead gantry it has an advert for an American Car Imports company, and three. Santa Pod is on the overhead gantry. The strange thing is the Chevy Subburban with an US tag on the front. Not sure about that.

Arsenalfan is correct, I took the pic at Santa Pod raceway .
It's in Wellingborough - just a short distance from where Nobby lives!

There are lots of American cars there - it was an international meet.

I should be going tomorrow for a Run what ya brung meet - keeping an eye on the weather though!!
