======================
Hello Roy.

So you have never heard of the Koenigsegg CCR ? This thing eat American cars
for breakfast, it's not the fastest road car on the planet, that happens to be
a Volkswagon (Bugatti Veyron), also a European. Guess you lot had better start
coming up with some real cars soon, even the riceturbos out perform most of
your clapped out steel junkers.

Heard of the Gumball 3000 ?  Makes an LA freeway free for all look like an
amatuer tractor field day.

How's that cast iron heap of Camaro shit of yours going, still have it?

Oh yes, the speeding ticket for the Koenisegg CCR was issued in Texas in 2003
for 242 miles per hour.
