A great trip recap!!

Living the dream.

 

I think Jalopnik sources 2/3rds of their content from Fchat or Fchat members (i.e. stealing a pic from Carbon's FB page a few weeks ago).

Rob needs to start getting royalties

 

or planning a merger!

 

Which pic was it?

 

the pic of the $3500 carbon fiber cup holder on the invoice.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Jalopnik uses FB as a source... :banghead:

 

nice write up. good memories. thanks jim!

 

Well we know ONE section here that would change drastically, were that to occur.

 

Correct. I sent him a link to the article where I was erroneously credited, and he was actually amused.

 

The best is when it's originally posted on F-chat, then picked up by Jalopnik, then the Jalopnik link is REPOSTED on F-chat.

The *ultimate* repost.

 

Scrolling threw the pictures, I was like 'Whoa, that's a Tu144!"

At which point, I actually read the caption, and chuckled.

Oh point, looks fun!

 

Lol

 

ROFL! Truth, they took my photos without asking and then asked me if they could use it. I ended up sending them some more photos because without them they had their facts completely wrong.

It was the local Bugatti Veyron that hit a tirewall at our track a few months ago.

Can someone point me to the f-chat write by the auction winner? Thanks.
