Using the stock Austin Healy Sprite around the Nordschleife and managed a lap time in a blistering 12:53.838.

Hugging those corners real tight, I had that Sprite screaming like a Grand Prix car as I clipped the apexes with the precision of a drunk basset hound. My speed was such that Lone Star would assume my entire wardrobe had gone plaid along with my car.

Move over Blackbird, there's a new King of Speed in town.

Well some of those 45 horses must have been slacking! Might need to up their oat intake.

You need to step up your game (literally)

I took this picture! It's so beautiful!

It may not have been the fastest car on the Ring, but it sure was the happiest car to do it.

they'd destroy a transit in autocross though I reckon.

I would be very surprised if it didn't...

I rotated the camera, took the picture in landscape (it was sideways), then rotated it again in iPhoto to stand it up.

Much missed opportunity, such missing funnies.

That sprite should have been screaming like a frog, taking apexes with the precision of a toad.

948 cc of twin sidedraft carburettor'd ferocity. I love 'em :)

Batteries in my controller just died while I was flinging a focus RS around Laguna Seca while dodging track day traffic, I thought I had blown the engine until the disconnected controller window popped up. FM5 is probably the prettiest game I have ever seen (even though I spend all my time inside the car tilting my head like a moron).

It's so fun. The only downside to this game is no nurburgring. Other then that it's perfect.

I need money to step up my console as well, in due time.
