World Record 207mph (333mph) on a Bicycle – Yes you heard that right – on a BICYCLE!

Before your think you read that as 207mph on a Motorcycle, and thought ‘Motorcycle, that’s not impressive’, re-read.. THIS IS A BICYCLE.. A pushbike!! Watch it take down a F430 Scuderia like it’s standing still!

A 7 second quarter mile rocket powered bicycle!! DAMN! Watch it take down a F430 Scuderia like it’s standing still!

On November 7th of 2014, on the famous Circuit Paul Ricard located at Le Castellet in South of France, François Gissy has reached an incredible speed of 333 km/h on the rocket-propelled bicycle designed by his friend Arnold Neracher. More than 300 km/h on a skinny and completely stripped bicycle, this is amazing, and crazy! Who thought that one day a daredevil on a bicycle, with a rocket under the saddle, could travel the quarter mile in less than 7 seconds?

Data of the fastest run set on 7 November 2014:
Peak speed: 333 km/h (207 mph) attained after around 250 meters

:unsure:

I could sniff that all day and night

Spotted The Stark mobile this morning around 8:45 passing Audi Center Brisbane... Looks clean mate

Think you'd rather shoot it with the old mutton gun though.

Pierce Brosnan's new movie, The November Man out and available, looks pretty good..........

Dude how the fcuk is that M4 going ??? Full report please, love to hear what you think and how it compares having owned so many awesome cars.

Have you made friends with the sound of the m4? I don't know that I ever could. Though at least it sounds better than an a45...lol

The actress best known for voicing the unseen Mrs. Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory has died.

Carol Ann Susi's agent, Pam Ellis-Evenas, says the actress died in Los Angeles after a brief battle with cancer. She was 62.

The veteran character actress has made numerous guest appearances on TV shows since the 1970s.

On the The Big Bang Theory, she wasn't seen on camera as the mother of Simon Helberg's character, Howard, but her character's loud voice with a Brooklyn accent was instantly recognizable.

The executive producers of the CBS sitcom say Susi was a beloved member of the Big Bang Theory family, and they praised her "immense talent and comedic timing."

Susi is survived by her brother, Michael Susi, and his wife, Connie.

Mark Webber's early-2007 Red Bull F1 car available for sale


A Red Bull RB3 Formula One race car driven by Australian Mark Webber during the 2007 season has been listed for sale in the UK for 250,000 pounds ($458,000).

The listing on British website Race Cars Direct was posted late last month by Nigel Baskerville. Baskerville believes that his RB3 is the "only raced Red Bull F1 car in private ownership", but it's not clear how he came to be in possession of the vehicle.

Although we've yet to be able to fully confirm the authenticity of this sale listing, Baskerville does seem to have a little bit of a history with Red Bull's F1 cars: he has, over the past few years, posted a number of times on various sites either asking for available RB3 spares or attempting to purchase RB3 parts from sellers.

According to Baskerville, the car on offer is chassis number two and was driven by Mark Webber in the first five races (Australia, Malaysia, Bahrain, Spain and Monaco) of the 2007 Formula One season.Webber finished 13th and 10th in the Australian and Malaysian Grands Prix that year. In the Bahrain, Spain and Monaco races, Webber and his RB3 had to retire due to, respectively, gearbox, hydraulics and gearbox failure. The Australian finished 12th overall that season with just 10 points.

Interested parties can purchase the entire car or parts thereof. Baskerville also has a number of RB3 spare parts available for sale, including various wing and nose configurations, and different engine covers, as well as replacement floors, body panels, headrests and wheels.

The RB3 was the first Formula One car designed for Red Bull Racing by Adrian Newey, and is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4-litre Renault V8.

Still going mate, had an issue with my sat Nav that kept popping back to the main menu screen but apart from that which is now fixed it's all going well. Completely different animal to the E92 M3, but to be honest I do slightly prefer the sound of the E9X over the F82.

But handling wise, the way the car behaves - I didn't think they could make it much better when the E92 first came out but good God they did. As Wolfman pointed out, it's not the best sounding exhaust system amongst it's competitors, but that's why mine isn't going to be standard for too much longer

As many little niggles or things that other people might not like - I'm sorry but when I walk through my garage door and see that face straight on... If that doesn't give you a chubby, that's your fault, not the cars!

How's your 335i going mate?

uh oh, you're all sinners

and doc / vash, your worship of barbs (aka demon woman) sees you both at the top of the list. :oopsie:

:mamoru:

In the past I've thought of air suspension as a modification reserved for trucks, low riders, and show cars. But what about sports cars? Is it possible to have the look you want at a show, the handling you want at the limit, and the practicality of clearing speed bumps and driveways? The guys from Accuair Suspensions say there is, so we put their Audi S4 to the test.

There is a picture of the HARVARD R8 on the front page in the latest TnT. Wonder if its faster than wolfmans

I should certainly hope so. He is making about 50hp over me!
Mine is much nicer though

why why did they cut her hair off..
