    Bad Salar :) That last pic is obviously from a) a video game, b) dyno test.

    Wow - that's a lot of Lotii, although the BRG looks great with those wheels. If they're tough to move is resale dropping?

    I think so. Weissach has lots of Elises in stock already, and the Exige S is also here as you know.

    And that last pic is from a video game featuring Accord. ;)

    hmm, one of those Forza Motorsport cars - maybe we'll see the 90's Accords on the new SpeedTV version?

    Don't forget to relax next time so you don't get the shakes, and to get some gas tomorrow. :D

    Hahaha, Thanks for the advice! that's not the fastest I've ever done anyways. Just thought to take a pic this morning when going to work, @ 7:30 AM. (sleepy too :) )

    As for the gas, I gotta say Accords eat a lot, considering they're still Hondas. I blame the 2.2 liter engine.

    hmm, maybe don't want to do speeds like that with sleepy guys like me on the road :)

    Yeah - my '02 chews gas up faster than my old one did. Did 700km on a tank in my '87 once - rarely much more than 500 in the '92. although I do get a/c and an auto transmission this time around.

    Wow that thing's quick - what's redline and how many gears? This year we'll get out of town and check out some of the twisties.

    I wonder if you'll ever find out who the rider was in that vid :D

    I think it was just over 270km/h. Its actually quite smooth at those speeds on a sportbike.

    I think we're all unanimous on that call, whoever it was. Those dump trucks seemed to be real friendly to a little sport bike.

    Yellow 360 spider in the rain at the Fairmont Waterfront :) and I've still got snow at the end of my driveway...

    I agree...it was stupid. I was in one of those "nothing can kill me" moments on my new sportbike. I won't be doing those speeds anywhere near traffic again. I just have the video to remind me how stupid I was and what could have happened.

    Cool! I assume it was a red one. Do you know any info on them? Anyone in Vancity order one yet?

    No pics, I forgot my camera..but the guy who is getting the first one is from Alberta....Canmore to be exact. That was the one they used for the launch car.

    The boys @ FMov did a good job with the event, interesting Venue, decent crowd.

    It has definately gone up a few notches in my books after seeing it in person...the slope on the front of the hood is rather dramatic..I like it.

    With the hood open you can see just how far back they crammed the engine in to give it that "front/mid engined" feel..It will probably be a very decent handling car.
