Incorrect. Shopping carts don't have engines, and gravitywheel is not a sport.

Pinebox derby racing simulator. Sounds like Bad Piggies, that Owen likes to watch/play on the iPad.

In other news, on the couch with a puking kid, again. Second stomach bug in 2 weeks. Can't convince Owen that GT5 is more interesting than PBS Kids. Screw you Thomas, and your friends.

Mark the date August 17 on your calendars. It's the date Speed officially turns into Fox Sports 1. Now where will we all go for F1, World Challenge ... oh wait.

This should be in more games. Cool

**SpecMiata-JSW** Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:17 pm

I like it! What track is that?

**HWKII** Fri Mar 08, 2013 1:18 pm

Fiorino Test track, out back of the Ferrari factory in Maranello.

Also

Squire, Hobbs, Despain and Economaki covering the 85 IMSA Charlotte GP... the entire race in 7 videos

**RackAttack** Fri Mar 08, 2013 3:37 pm

It's in Ferrari Challenge, that's the only time I've driven it.

No doubt. Wonder if anyone has modeled it in rFactor 1/2... iRacing doesn't have any Ferraris, so I wouldn't expect them to get a copy but I think that's an awesome looking track.

At least spell Fiorano correctly. Laughing

Little-known factoid : Microsoft holds the exclusive rights to digital Ferraris on Xbox and PC, much like EA holds the Porsche digital rights anywhere.

I like little known factoids. Then people say "Wow you're smart, you should be on Jeopardy". But I did the online test and failed badly, so I really can't be on Jeopardy Rolling Eyes

. That's another little known factoid.

Most Jeopardy questions are in the grade-7-to-12-general-knowledge area; most people forget most of it by the time they're 20 and therefore suck at Jeopardy. Ken Jennings figured this out, crammed on high school knowledge, and ... well, you know.

Ben, wats the word from the locals? Big deal or people just using the TG boys to get publicity.

New Zealand always has a vocal minority that protests against everything. Problem is that the government is very touchy feely and often listens to them. Overall, it's probably a good thing, since nobody's perceived rights get trampled as much as they might otherwise, but it gets a bit silly sometimes.

As for this. When I check my national news, the emphasis is on "Top Gear Filming in New Zealand! Cool!", then later in the same paragraph, "there were some protesters, as usual".

Ninety Mile Beach is a pretty and special place, but people have always been able to drive up and down it, so the protesters don't come across as too genuine when they only protest when these particular few people want to do so.

That is awesome.

Confirmed that my family seemed to have an awful lot of the 70s and 80s varieties, and not necessarily in the 70s and 80s.
