That T-Rex car/motorcycle is sweet. They're made in the Province of Quebec here in Canada. I saw a test drive of the T-Rex on a french tv show and this thing not only looks gorgeous, it also pulls like a freight train!

I can now certainly see the attraction of taking a car to the track, I have, until Sunday been a track day 'virgin'! Well that's all changed now, and all I can say is 'I want to do it again'.
I went out in a track prepared Caterham 7 style motor as well, with 2x 900cc Kawasaki engines, that has been tested by a UK mag, and this has apparently broken McClaren's F1 time of 0-60, that stood at 3.2 secs for the McC, this car will do it (in road trim) in 3.11 secs. in race trim in 2.8 secs, and the noise, roadholding, what a buzz... I want one.
