Went to Formula D Round 5 today. Took these photos with my iJones. Have a short video too of a couple runs I can post later. Was a great event, some of the best action I've seen with some upsets too. I wanted Ryan Tuerck to win, but he got knocked out right away. Left a little early, but I think Chris Forsberg won, which is nice. Always liked him. As long as JR didn't win :yuck:

Saw plenty of GT3(RS)'s in action today.

Poolhaas, those Nurb photos make me jelly!! Need to go there so bad. No idea why I haven't taken the time to go...

I did go to Spa some tim ago (WEC 6h) and made a video of the Porsche cup. The sound at the start is from track, it's pure track sound :D
 
Just got back fro a car show. There was a ton of muscle cars. I'll post the pics tomorrow along with videos of them doing burnouts on my youtube channel.
 
So it turns out the transportation museum here opens only on Sundays and some car clubs have exhibits every now and then. I went a few weeks ago and there was a Mustang meet... plus a few other vehicles in various stages of abandon.

Ey I knew somebody would see it! Bonus points to you sir! It was at a Californian Concours event. These were not the concours worthy cars so they were moved into a separate area. You could see the million dollar babies a few pages back if you haven't already.
 
The rear windows are hinged in the middle (the rectangular sections half way down) so you can use it as a boot (trunk).
 
Sweet! Presumably a modded street version? Which are rare enough anyway and surely makes this one unique.

Yes it's immensely modified. Here it is before the livery in 1995. And I must say, there are few cars I've ever lusted more after this one.

These were from mid-June, but these pictures are too epic not to share here. It's from when goldRush Rally V came through Dallas. For those who may not know, goldRush is like the Gumball 3000, only it's smaller and stays in the states.

Day 1: Omni Hotel, Dallas

and, the first few garage spots look pretty wild to me, so could go in the non-event thread, and be absolutely epic there!

but aside from technicalities, great fun, thanks for sharing!
