I am envious... Have to make this one of those goals to do before kicking the bucket and heading for that great race track in the sky. Hopefully Barry and Kevin will join me. To the Ring that is...

Have to agree with you on that score.I mean I felt for poor Jenson watching after his Honda had retired from last years Brazilion GP.Then Honda pulled out I wonder what was going through his mind ? Did he,in even his wildest imagination,think he would be racing a Brawn car with Mercedes power and wi...

Stuart Kidgell,he of twin turbo GTV6 fame here in South Africa,had a sticker of Senna's helmet on the drivers side back window and his helmet design was done on Senna's colours.Even his t-shirt under his racing overalls had Senna's famous S logo. :D That just cemented 'legendary' status in my eyes a...

Late reply I know.Have to agree with you MJR,Ayrton was my all time favourite driver.I still remember sitting there on a Sunday morning trying to hold back the tears of happiness when he crossed the line at Suzuka 1988 to win his first drivers title. :oops: I still sometimes daydream about seeing th...

Jim glad to see your still as sick as the rest of us with the Alfa virus,worse than HIV I believe. :lol: I would love that DTM motor in a GTV6. :twisted: lol one of my motivating reasons for owning a GTV or GTV6 for most of my adult life,is that it is NOT a family car. 8) I see some poor bastard in ...

Ha ha the world can be a funny place sometimes...on Saturday I got to drive in a .........wait for it......................................................................................................Lexus IS250 . :lol: It's a very well put together motorcar but it does not make my heart beat fas...

Fear not Mike we Saffa's are still here mate. :D Sometimes life can just be so hectic and when you next blink the date is indicating March on the weekend already... :shock: Kevin are you racing at Zwarties on the 21st ? The Mineshaft is one corner where you can really feel the suspension fully loade...

Z it's going to have a 3.4 litre 24 valve single turbo conversion done to it as we speak.I will post pics once its' finished which shouldn't be too much longer. :twisted: Decided with Barry twisiting my arm in a friendly manner of course,that now would be a good time to try some boost after years of...

Fear not Mike,it wasn't Volvo perse I was having a humorous dig at. :D It's often most of these movie family's have no need for a Volvo,so for a petrol head like myself the cars are a major part of a movie's appeal. Who hasn't watched Bullit and had goosebumps when Steve Mqueen is getting ready to c...

Light hearted rant from me so Mats no offence intended here mate. :D Why is it,just about every movie I see involving your run of the mill family,single mom or dad set up,drives a but ugly Volvo ? Often the old 70/80's station wagon variety! :evil: Crikey my first impression is I am watching the liv...

Great article Jason. I made the 'mistake' of using Shell Helix 10W40 full synthetic in my 3.6 and can confirm Mikes statement of excessive smoke under engine braking. Actually it was embaressing as I gave a hiding of note to a new Audi tt owner on the highway but when I backed off to allow him to ca...

Howzit Mike,

We are pretty chuffed with the cricket boys test match victory over here. Thanks for the compliment,seeinf as we have eaten plenty of humble pie in the past.

Happy new year to all of you guys....in advance.

What will happen with Audi's R8 GT-3 car now ? Are they just going to let privateers race it ala Porsche and Ferrari style?

All in all it's not a great time for motorsport right now.

Nisaar so sorry to see what happened to your baby. I had a Putco bus rear end my GTV6 a few years ago and managed to get it repaired via my own insurance company. Free advice if your going to leave your Alfa at a panelbeater,take out the computer box so they cannot start your engine at all.The wanke...

It's really sad news that Honda have pulled the plug on their F 1 operation. :cry: I wonder how many other motorsport disciplines could be affected by the economic downturn facing the automotive industry. I wonder if anyone else will offer Bruno Senna a chance to test for them ? Also what happens to...
