That's in my McLaren F1 on my daily autobahn commute of course. ;-) You don't do 200mph on your way to work in the pouring rain? Please forgive the early morning, pre-coffee brain fade. -peter*g ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 14:02:43 -0800 From: "J.

I don't think your McLaren is going to cut it, even if you top it out. You'll have to do something like 3600 mph to get those wheels turning over a thousand times per second...At least the sonic booms will keep the cops away! That would be pretty cool, though - your daily commute could be from San Francisco to New York. Pretty do-able, as long as you don't get stuck in traffic around Kansas...

You need one of those plastic alligator biting heads on a stick with the squeeze handle to pay tolls with a McLaren F1. - Rob ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 15:21:12 -0800 From: "J.

I usually like to take the Tunnel - the sound that the quad-turbocharged and double-supercharged McLaren makes when you hit the NOS while going through the Midwest Tunnel at 3600 mph really wakes you up in the morning...

He's been seen in these parts tanning himself in the beaches of Coronado and catching a few waves; and fiber from the water. It's good for you. > Reed asks "Tijuanitic rock? Is that, like, Los Lobos?" Almost like Los Lobos but not quite. Los Lobos water is mineralized by dog thingies and it's not as good as Seattle water. And Ochi, my head is still spinning from all that revs you talked about. You're beginning to sound like Deshpande. Except worse. He just states the facts, you on the other hand emphasize it. ;-)))) I've got a headache now. I'll take a nap. OBTW, I just got my first ever acceptance to a Driving School in April in Buttonwillow. I am so happy! I need wheels and tires; good thing Marc has a beater set available. I can't wait. I finally can get my car going faster than 45MPH!!!! And then I can test the brakes and the radiator water at the same time. That is so cool! I'll let you know the results when I get back. Must be a slow day at work everywhere. Sheets of water on brakes, holes and mud, hard water from balsamic rock. It's Armageddon I tell you.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I just searched the UUC archives for info on the Sparco front strut tower bar. LOTS of stuff on E30 cars, but no mention of anyone putting this on an E36. The bar is attractive because it is not hinged and not expensive. Pictures of it looks like it has a huge arch designed in it though. Anyone with experience on this? I am comparing to two $400 bars, the Strong Strut and the JTD, again two without hinges.

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I pay $.59 per gallon, but I usually buy 3 gallons at a time - it's good stuff to have around the house - 3 gallons brings it to roughly $2. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2004 12:09:30 -0500 From: Don Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Tire specials from Vilvan Tire Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I was talking to the Vilvan people yesterday and he asked if I knew anyone > who may be interested in some of these tire close out specials.
