QUOTE (Doc @ Oct 18 2015, 04:49 PM)  Pretty awesome Phillip island gp. Would be the race of the year. Marquez, Jlo, Iannone and Rossi all scrapping it out the entire race for the podium. MM Jlo Iannone Rossi Rossi still holds an 11 point lead with 2 races remaining. Going to be a battle the last 2 rounds. i can't understand why j-lo didn't win. he was clearly the superior rider.

STREET OUTLAWS Jayce Andrade's big block, nitrous Mustang Fox Body is a proven top competitor at many events we've been to this year, the car has more power, combined with a BADASS, hooking track at Thunder Valley Raceway in OKC turned into a bad wreck for the Yeti. During the race against our friend Andy's twin turbo D3 Performance Viper he came out of a wheelie breaking his radiator sending the car into an uncontrollable slide from the coolant. Luckily he jumped out of the car right away untouched by the impact and even shut off the power & nitrous bottle within seconds of the wreck. The Andrade family (Andrade Sr, John "The Cutty" Andrade, and Jayce) have been huge supporters of many races we go to and we're confident we'll be seeing Jayce back out stronger & faster than before very soon! |

https://au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/feat...gee-comes-home/ QUOTE THE LAST BEE GEE COMES HOME
Sunday Night October 18, 2015, 8:21 pm VIDEO The Last Bee Gee comes home The legendary Barry Gibb, the last surviving member of the stellar super-trio the Bee Gees took us on an emotional journey down memory lane when he returned to his childhood home in Brisbane. Sunday Night’s Rahni Sadler accompanies Barry on an intensely personal tour through Redcliffe, the little beachside town north of Brisbane where he and his brothers Robin and Maurice shared an idyllic though sometimes rebellious childhood. It’s a bittersweet experience as Barry is still wrestling with the loss of his beloved younger twin brothers Maurice and Robin, who were integral to the sound and world-wide success of the Bee Gees. Over five decades the trio sold more than 200 million records. They wrote and recorded 70 chart hits for themselves and other superstars – including 19 number ones. Despite the epic success, Barry admits in this deeply intimate tour of his formative years that the boys were never happier than when they kicking around their sunny Queensland home making mischief and dreaming of making it big in music. "We never loved each other more than before we were famous." The story continues Sunday Night’s candid relationship with Barry that began back in 2012. Our cameras capture the moment Barry sets foot in his childhood house for the first time since he left Redcliffe all those years ago, and follow him to the local Speedway track where the brothers first performed and to the town jetty where a life and career-defining decision was made all those years ago. |

the 'official' poster for the movie. QUOTE The Poster for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Has Been Unleashed!
As promised, here's the official poster for J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens! It comes with the official announcement that the next trailer for the film will debut tomorrow on Monday, October 19th during the halftime of ESPN's Monday Night Football. I don't really watch a lot of sports, but you can bet your ass that I'll be watching this game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles just so I won't miss this trailer! The game starts at 5:15 pm PDT/8:15 pm. There are a few interesting details in this poster, which includes our first real look at Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia, a giant Death Star-type weapon, and no sign of Luke Skywalker. Maybe they are saving his debut for the trailer. Following the trailer launch, tickets to the highly anticipated film will go on sale everywhere movie tickets are sold. Here are some additional details from the press release: In conjunction with the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer debut, the Walt Disney Company is providing unprecedented company-wide on-air and social support (#TheForceAwakens) as well as tying in events and special activities for the day of the trailer release. Lucasfilm and visionary director J.J. Abrams join forces to take you back again to a galaxy far, far away as Star Wars returns to the big screen with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Max Von Sydow. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk are producing with Tommy Harper and Jason McGatlin serving as executive producers. The screenplay is by Lawrence Kasdan & J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt. Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters on December 18th. |

What's people's thoughts on the new NSX? I didn't like the concept, but now that I've seen the somewhat toned-down production version, and more importnatly in black, I may be sold. Front is still 5/10, but the rest looks great. |

for those people who may not have seen this footage ......... http://www.corporacioncervesur.com/new.asp...er-bit-leg.html QUOTE Driver who smashed into bikers and then said he 'didn't care' in viral video is arrested... and now claims a spider bit his leg
A 68-year-old man accused of veering his car into a motorcycle, injuring both of its riders, has been arrested on aggravated assault charges. William Crum of Granbury was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection to the crash which was caught on video. Hood County District Attorney Rob Christian said Crum would remain in custody pending a bond hearing Tuesday. He didn't know whether Crum has an attorney who could comment on his behalf. Each count carries a punishment of two to 20 years in prison if convicted. The crash happened Saturday on a two-lane road about five miles north of Granbury. Eric Sanders, the driver of the motorcycle, contends the car's driver swerved intentionally. He suffered abrasions, and his girlfriend Debra Simpson was taken to a Fort Worth hospital with a broken wrist and deep arm lacerations. She was moved out of the ICU on Monday and is now in stable condition. However, Crum told CBS Dallas-Fort Worth that the crash was 'uncontrollable'. He claims that he momentarily lost control of the car after a spider bit his inner thigh (he previously told the station the insect was a wasp and reporters could find no evidence of a bite on Crum's skin). But Crum's explanation is hard to believe for those who have seen video of the crash. After throwing Sanders and his girlfriend off their motorcycle, Crum pulls to the side of the road where the driver confronts him, asking him 'What were you doing? You hit them.' Crum unapologetically responds: 'I don't care'. When asked to explain his heartless reaction, Crum said he's seen motorcyclists driving crazy on the road all the time. He says he's seen people doing 'wheelies at 60 mph, and I thought he was one of those. I didn't know there was a passenger.' |

It certainly is 'beaky',if you compare it to the new R8,but I don't mind it,to me,both vehicles to me are going a bit overboard with the honeycomb mesh though.Supercars need more than six cylinder engines,in my opinion,you need that ominous rumble,not the sound of a hyped up vacuum cleaner |

The new R8 is an absolute abomination. Ruined from all angles. I am inclined to agree with that engine sentiment...though I may be convinced depending on the exhaust note. We'll see. Have you heard a 4c in person yet? That's a 4 banger that they've managed to make sound like a supercar, so who knows! |
