Penny FTW!

Looking forward to the production. :thumbsup:

I literally work a block away, and did not know about it until it was too late. I wish I could of seen it in action.

Very cool! I never warmed up to our domestic Top Gear, but see Bad Penny is worth a look. The Classic Recreations Mustang isn't too shabby either.

I don't know what it is about TopGear USA that has never gotten me going either. All 3 Guys could be OK, but they don't seem to Gel. It also doesn't help that they spend a whole Hour doing one bit vs the Brits having 3 or 4 segments built into the Hour Show

X2....but I will watch this episode.

Steve1968LS2 03-20-2014 03:31 PM

Hey, it was fun, but keep in mind it's TV.. and even "reality TV" has a script.

I think it will be fun seeing the car on TV (again), but don't go expecting any sort of car test (which would be super cool).

They were impressed with the car's power :)

What's the current combo? 461ci LS with 6 speed?

Vegas69 03-20-2014 07:00 PM

That car is all washed up...

Sorta like me.. lol

I was surprised that they got the name into the news story... the power of marketing I guess..

Vegas69 03-20-2014 07:20 PM

Great car Steve... Mine's been put out to pasture. Nice to see your car go to Yancy.

Steve1968LS2 03-20-2014 07:38 PM

Hey, they had some killer shots on this news site.. but I only can see the thumbnails..

Can anyone get the images to open all the way? I did a search for "top gear"

Not full size, but bigger than thumbs.

Trying this


http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcsi....&MaxH=452&q=90

Well, their site won't allow hot linking the images here, someone would have to same them then host somewhere else to post them. It's bedtime here or I'd do a few of them. Going back to just look at them for now.

Congrats on the press!!!

Thanks Jody!

Not sure why I was getting nothing on my my computer.. and I wonder how that big version was gotten to.

Wacky website..

That paint sure is holding up good for being over 7 years old.

Well, for now Yancy owns it.. but things change.. lol

Always loved that car Steve, can't think of a better Camaro to represent the Pro Touring movement. Yancy doesn't seem to keep a car too long, maybe you'll get it back. LOL

onebad68 03-25-2014 02:24 PM

Better questions is how many times where you pulled over on the way back home? I saw you leaving town via another ultra small town known for ticketing, and you were not exactly "quiet" :) But I loved seeing it GO!

:welcome3: back Steve! Miss not having hangout with us here :yes: :thumbsup:

Steve1968LS2 04-05-2014 10:54 PM

Thanks guys.. I missed not being around as well..

I should make a post about it.. sorta interesting.. had to do with the adoption we're doing and drama...

In the end it all sorted out, so it's a good thing.. :)

Track Rat is moving along as time and funds allow.. due to be at SEMA this year and I hope to have her out and about before then.

OVRKILL 04-06-2014 05:43 AM

Very cool indeed :thumbsup:

Lots of stuff is far more important than "cars". Glad you've got things sorted out and can get back to having some fun.

clill 04-06-2014 10:31 AM

Did anyone empty out the drivers door yet ? Would have made great TV.
