xr4ti - USA? Huh? Wasn't that thing brought over from Europe? Sure it's Ford, but Ford of Europe.

The XR4Ti has a turbocharged Pinto engine, which makes it as American as all-you-can-eat sushi.

I'm sorry, the XR4Ti has a guibo. A GUIBO! No Amurrrcan car would use a sissy rubber connection for the driveshaft like that!

Oh is that why the SHO is forced to be in the background. Its engine makes it Non-American enough to not be allowed to race with these finely engineered American Sports Cars.
I'd also love the full res. Show people the olds was neck and neck with the winner. Just won't tell them it was like that for seconds while getting passed.

I will send anyone any full-res image on request. Just email and ask. It's easier if you send the URL to the low-res version, so I know what you're talking about.

That line of thought means my Italian Scorpion is as Japanese as bad cartoons.

Second Best ever image. First is the Corvair and 5-series at (I think) Stafford. Put it up again Phil!

I'm rather partial to the Tbird/Alfa GTV6 shot at Gingerman.

Re: USA! USA! USA!
Maybe I should make some Lemons desktop wallpapers. One of these days...
Re: USA! USA! USA!
I like the shot of "Border Patrol" eyeballing "Ride My Pony", and the out of control "Hyder Truck". Both from the same race. No offense to the other posters, but those are classic "money shots."
