Need to spend your Saturdays washing your car.

OK Leslie - now tell us who was driving and who was taking the picture - not sure that camera was in a safe place at the time :-)

Unsafe only in the sense that do be straight on to the instruments and low enough to be angled up to the pod / sun shield the camera must have been located .... well maybe enough on that subject....

Judging by the lean, you were going round a pretty tight bend at half speed

[in my best Lucy Riccardo voice]Weeee-ll![/end Lucy Riccardo voice]



The camera person was not spending a lot of time lining up the shot just right.

As you can imagine by the shake in the shot, some other -- more important -- details were being attended to at the time!

Funny....Kevin's car it looks exactly like yours, Cosmo. Black with twists.

What GT? We have a GT? I didn't think so......are S4's considered GT?

It's an 85 Euro, with an 88 S4 engine installed, and then supercharged....so, a bit of a bastard, and that's why she's called FrankenShark!

But hot damn, does she go fast!!

Brendan.....I am sorry, I cannot comment on that.

Let's just say that the pic was taken during a period of deceleration, and not at WOT.
