It would be very amusing if the Italia decided to self immolate sometime during their trip.

They will probably rip through the Tail of the Dragon if they get this far into the western part of the state. I'll start watching the www.killboy.com site for info and photos.

I don't think Richard Hammond would risk speeding on the Tail. He might not survive a night in the pokey around there!

Bad sports..They just can't get over losing the "colonies". BTW, there was a brand-new M-B SLS AMG at the EuroClassica car show here in Winston-Salem last week-end. Gorgeous car! Proper homage to the original! http://www.euroclassica.zoomshare.co...coming/pages/2

God I hope they didn't do some cheesy posing on the VIR podium (just to the right of the cars in the paddock picture).
