Denny....For giggles and grins, why don't you pen a comparison between the XS 650 and the V-Star 650 and post it for us mere mortals who might be lusting! LOL..

Oh so you noticed my little tool box. Well I've always been a tool nut and I've had a number of different tool boxes to hold my collection. A number of years ago I worked part time at Sears part time in the tool department so I got to know most of the store managers. A few years ago I was at Sears and the manager wanted to show me something. It was a prototype box that was shipped to the store after a regional tool show for Sears and it wasn't in the inventory and it was in the way. He made me an unbeivable price on the cabinet and top box to take it away. The set is 52" wide and 60" tall with all ball baring drawers in both cabinet and top box. I sold my old tool box set 26" cabinet, mid box, and top box which made the new set even cheaper. The only problem is I've filled up this monster already.

Here's the link to make it a little easier. ca.f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/corv8tor/my_photosHammerin, you are one lucky bast@&d. I would love to go to Goodwood. One year I WILL make it there. Aren't those flat 12 Porsche motors cool? They are basically just two flat sixes coupled together. There was a Shadow here at the Northwest Vintage Races this year. Those cars are just flat amazing too. The driver got a little aggressive while passing a slower car (I think they were all slower) and tore off the left front nose. But in true racer style he didn't back off a bit, he just kept on passing cars left and right. Too cool. Mental |

;DThaks mental. Couldn't have done it llike that casue I jsut don't know how you got that info??? But HELL YA !!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD WOOD = RACERS FIX... that's us dreamers EH and especialy me. Can't afford that 200,000.00 US nut to gain entry  ;DBut then I like'em. The flat 12 isn't just 2 flat 6s glued together. I know there are some pics on the net that show 1 flat 12 configured that way. The bikes there were really great too. But when it's raining they don't realy bring them out. The Dakar bikes were cutting to the grass to make big broad slides though and still doing wheelies.... on the grass. I guess I was amazed or too amazed and didn't click the shutter ::)But I have done stupider than that before too. Yes indeed the Good Wood is a fantastic place to go see. There are so many different cars, bikes, trucks, prototype cars I.E. F600 CC cars too. Some kit cars for 7000.00 Pounds sterling that wre really great in consept and exicution, more famous race car drvers in the pits just talking to any one and smiling all the time. It was a great atmosphere. Entry into the pits was allowed as well and that's where I got the close ups of the different( well the ones that I wanted to take pics of at least  )cars With some of the cars swaping ends, taking out another car and one bounsing off the wall, these guys are real racers.... make no doubts about it. With the huge Dakar Trucks and the little Cooper F1s WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW  ;D  My delighted sensess car goes to the Renult 1994 Van F1 modified. IT had vents through the doors, 18" racing slicks, V10 40 valve 16,000 RPM F1 3.5 Ltr engine, 6 speed sequential, carbon fiber every thing, Rr seat bolted to a bar over top the motor/trans unit.......... passengers any one :Pthey dae you  :-*nose splitter...and too mutch to see as the body covered a lot of the details.... and only did 198 MPH towwing a trailer....... set a land speed recoard towing that darned trailer too !!!!!!!!! Makes you kinda wonder about why they built the van? Advertising. Renault guys decided to do a publicity thingy and had Williams build the IncredibalevancarbonfiberF1everything..... what a mouth full or what. ;D Yes I will too return again as the cars change every year. I did love the experience A LOT How's about posting some of your shot in an album Mental? And thanks agin for helping me with the sight link. It's great to be home and share as many of these pics with all. |
