i caught some coverage of this on jackass a while back, some wicked cars there, much ferrari burnouts

Wasn't that the European one where matey stacked a Ferrari at about 150mph ?

yeah, sorry, that was the european one. But he said the jackass guy was in the USA one (i dunno how to spell his name ).

 

Good program, some v. nice cars, but a mini!?

Watched it - but no 300's !

 

Mainly Ferari's and Lambo's. Some nice roads.

I watched as well.

 

The Memphis to Dallas went right through my old stomping grounds. I was amazed at the speed they were doing as that is some of the most run down road in the country.

 

It looked like a fun drive, but the organizer and some of the other drivers seemed really stuck up.

I heard that.. apparantly very clique like... "oh dear.. you're knew are you? has the car got pedigree etc."

 

Makes a change from the usual treasure hunt type things... I always wanted to the Performance Car treasure hunt... typically the magazine ceased to exist, and they stopped running it *just* as I passed my test. Gits.

Yeah,

 

but Performance Car team run and own the EVO magazine same quality stuff.
