Re: F1 Owner on board

Must have been 600cc sportbikes...a Huyabusa or ZX-11 would be very close if not equal up to 185 plus.

i ride a 99 hayabusa and if an f1 were to go by me at speed i'd be in awe. wonderful cars.
(mind you i'd not let the throttle go til i was caught up again so i could could get my free ride in the mclaren )
*ahh i can only dream*

(btw.. my bike tops out at ~305 km/h and i believe the f1 is in the 390's.. amazing..)

1. Ever Driven the X5?

2. What family situation could you possibly have that would REQUIRE an SUV, rather than a 10 MPG improved, better accelerating, better braking, better handling minivan (if you need room for 7) or station wagon (Subaru Outback if you live in an are where you need AWD), or a crew cab truck if you need to haul a 13,000 lb trailer and have room for people (spent a good portion of the weekend in the back seat of an F350
towing a 13000 lb trailer, and I'm 6'1").

Once again... Can we please keep this thread "On Topic"

If you have more questions, or responses to the answers that Mr. Selldorff has posted, feel free to include them.

If, however, you want to babble back and forth about things unrelated to the topic, please find a more suitable place to do it.

an issue of ROUNDEL featured 007 last year (i forget which issue). I haven't taken any videos of my car(s) yet, but next year I'll probably do some, and you can be sure there'll be shared here.

No. the only time i tracked 007 was at NHIS, not suitable for high speed runs.

Mr Selldorf,
Do all your F1s have that 1st AID kit in the right side pod? And how do you find the security in the F1s and maintaining it? An owner once mentioned that the security expenses were rediculous.
