Ga. Cruisers Chat Thread

[Sam Stewart]

In case anyone was unawares... The Toyota Racing team has entered 2 new hybrid LM race cars in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The have also qualified said cars in 3rd and 5th overall. The 3rd place car is only 1 second off the pole pace. It's on Speed this weekend!

 

[Trollhole]

How did that work out?

Not to good. I was pulling for them. Anyone but Audi. That being said the flip wasn't good and they just were not ready to compete for the trophy this year. Maybe next year. Loved the delta wing.

 

[Sam Stewart]

Yeah gremlins plus the horrific wreck. The crazy thing is, in the short time they've had the car, they qualified 3rd and 5th, and were lapping faster than the Audis. The were also faster on the back straight by about 7 mph, and were battling for the lead (in fact had just taken it from the Audi) when the crash happened. So, I think they have a great car. They will work the bugs out and I anticipate it will be a Toyota-Audi battle in the next few races/years.

Gremlins = bad alternator, engine failure (unspecified, led them to retire the car) and kaz smacking the deltawing.

I'm offended by your comments as I'm just a simple deviant and my douche nozzle is now bent. I will not stand for this, wheres my phone.

It is nice to see that this Chat section is back up and running...where is Stevo?

STEVE? are you out there?

 

[4xsteve]

Yeah, I'm here. Not really "surfing" like I used to. Just hunting out the specific threads I knew I wanted to see and stopped there. Primarily the wheeling trip threads.

 

[AuburnFJsexy]

Finally uploaded the GoPro footage from Steve's camera that has Miranda getting a little pucker factor.

Go to about 2:45 in the video...

Franken80 has some serious flex. BTW that was one steep hill that we were coming down.

 

[TeddyBoy]

pics and vids never do it justice.


On another note... Gawd--$105 a pound for Freon--Thanks Obama! Needed 2 lbs plus the service call. tired of getting farked these days.

~ BTW that was one steep hill that we were coming down.

For those that weren't there and can't tell the steepness (Ted), you might notice me "pop a wheelie" just like Miranda did. On the corner they went around at the start of the video, I got the back right a good ways off the ground. The apparent "drop" at 2:00 was more of an "endo" into the wall of dirt on the left. Only reason it didn't scare the crap outta me was because I knew there was no way I could roll since there was a 4' wall of dirt on my left, topped by a big tree.

I'm sure Nick has already mentioned it, but I think we both enjoyed Sunday up in Gurley a good bit more than Chocco.

 

[Sam Stewart]

Hey guys! Just got back from Central America and saw a bunch of Toyotas that we all want and can't have! So here's the next best thing! Picters!!!

First of all, Toyota is the number one manufacturer in Costa Rica. When we landed at the airport all I saw was Hiaces and Prados. Sweet!

Diesel 40? Not too rare..

Pretty normal looking 4Runner.

80? Looks pretty normal.

80 and a.... Hiace!

That doesn't look like any Corolla I've ever seen...

Now we're talking. Land Cruiser ambulance?

What's that? 4x4 Turbo Diesel Hilux?? Yes, please!

OOooooo... Prado.

ACC!

Un mas Prado.

Toyota Coaster... Bus?

Ooohh yeah. Now we're talking... I'll take 2.

Ah! Why can't we have these in the US!

I'd take a couple of these too.

Maybe without all the goofy stuff...

 

[Sam Stewart]

And a couple of NON-car related pics:

Very nice! Hilux and Prado are huge in Trinidad. My father-in-law has a 2012 Prado with the diesel that I am in love with. The Hilux also comes with the diesel down there. I got my GX based on that love and my inability to get it here.

Truly an amazing collection of eye candy you have there

Man my eyes were bugging out of my head the whole time I was there. My wife got mad and asked if I was going to take any pictures of anything other than cars...
