Regarding the all-woman team in the Sprite at Sebring - I'll take a guess: Donna Mae Mimms, Janet Guthrie and Smokey Drolet

I think you need to turn those rotors a bit.

At the club on Friday and the Sequoia passed by. Nice to see a piece of History kept up so well.

First Pictures of Upgraded Saker GT
http://www.gtspirit.com/2010/09/14/first-pictures-of-upgraded-saker-gt/

Quote:
Saker currently offers two vehicles, the GT and the Sprint. The Sprint is roofless and the GT has a roof. Both models are powered by a 2.0 liter Subaru engine. The total weight of the current line-up is 770kg.
Saker shows its brand new exclusive race cars, Rapx and Sniper

Quote:
We can expect to see the new Saker line-up burn rubber on the tracks in amateur motor-sports as the pricing is pretty reasonable at around € 50,000. Saker will release the two variants overseas later while the current focus is on the European market.

Rogers said climate change is the biggest factor, warning that the rate at which carbon is being pumped into the oceans is already far greater than it was at the time of last major extinction of marine species, 55 million years ago.

911s use a disc around a rear parking brake drum.

Yep... which is exactly why I asked.
I was unaware that Jeep was using a setup like that.

My dad used to have an '82 Corvette that also had the rear drums for the parking brake inside the rotors. My miata uses the calipers for the parking brakes.

Well, isn't that a world changing OPINION. I'm certain that he was around when WE or ? pumped all that carbon into the seas. Yes the seas are changing, but the earth has been changing for 100 billion years, without us.
