And the oopps award went to this guy that smacked the wall trying to park.

The crack heard around the world!

The crack heard around the world!

Ugh. It sure was. Bad crack at that.

 

[Ark :D]

Bet he felt that one.

 

[Rttoys]

Surprisingly everyone played it cool. He backed up, moved over and pulled forward like nothing happened. We were standing there like “we didn’t hear anything” He gets out and looks at it, then opens the door so his arm candy wouldn’t bump the wall with the door (as if that matters now). They walk inside like nothing really happened. Once he was inside, we all had to go look.

Goblin meet up?

 

[Joebob]

Maybe we can get more than 2.

 

[Rttoys]

Sorry. At cota for motogp this weekend.

CC in downtown Houston today. Not exactly the best idea I ever had thinking “I don’t have anything going, I’ll drive 50 miles in 100000* heat and humidity to hang out in a parking lot”

they parked me up front in the reserved parking for the cool kids.

 

[Rttoys]

Here’s a few interesting ones

 

[Rttoys]

When was the last time you saw a Diablo? How about 2??

 

[Rttoys]

And because F1

 

[Rttoys]

Last few.

 

[Ark :D]

Diablo was my dream car as a teenager. Still gorgeous!

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

Just now I saw 2 Diablos! A black one and a red one, together! Like the Kei truck with the tent, off road camping at it simplest.

 

[Rttoys]

It’s just amazing the cars that are in Houston.

I forgot how long the Diablo is.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

If I remember correctly, from my wandering memory, the transmission is in front of the engine with a transfer driveshaft beside the oil pan going back the rear differential? This also allows for AWD by running a driveshaft forward to a front differential. Takes up a lot of space. Don't remember if it was the Diablo or another supercar with this layout?

 

[Rttoys]

that will have to be google search when I get some time this afternoon.

 

[Rauq]

they're thinking "the only way I could be cooler is if I'd built this car myself"

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

I find it ironic that NO ONE in the picture is looking the Atom driving in. The cool factor is pretty low and being bought-not-built is just another strike against the poser crowd. Real men (and women) build Goblins to be authentic top of the built-not-bought group. Russell got moved into the front row with the cool kids...I'm just sayin'.

 

[Rttoys]

Good observation. Maybe because his isn’t green like mine.
