I don't think it would hurt his feelings if I said I've seen nicer looking Mustangs.

Somehow I don't think he was going for nice .

It does look familiar; those side openings are very distinctive. Unless it has a twin, that very car slammed into the turn nine wall at Pacific Raceways right in front of me one rainy day last summer.

< i sux @ the internet.

image was to be the article of my '67 fastback in grassrootsmotorsports.

I don't think that Prestons car has a double,

high h.p and rain = bad

as for pretty, yup I don't think that it was part of the goal

it was well done from the photos.

For the Volvo Ocean Race, the boats must demonstrate inverted flotation, minimal water incursion and ability to self right using the swing keel. So they drop the boat in the water inverted, four crew are inside looking for leaks, when things look OK, then they cant the keel and wait for physics to take over. I don't think the crew on the power yacht above were doing a similar test.

Thom,

its looks like a guy that broke down on his bicycle - but it does look suspicious from the other angle of view
