    It's a Tanglewood Jazz prototype.. one of 4 made. Yamaha electrics and a not great bowl back.. it slides about until you get used to it.

    Since then I've gone back to selling beer XD

    Hello all, been a while since I've posted here. How is everyone?

    Finally feel like I can call myself one of the "old skool lot" now since I've been here for 7 years over various accounts :3

    Ireland, there's a reason why people like me can't afford cars that go 270.49 mph, called Natural Selection!:cool:

    besides the cost of the car, there are no roads in north america that you can drive on that don't have some sort of speed limit like 60 or 70 miles per hour.

    just saw this thread and I've been lurking in the background for some time now.......... I haven't commented in years now as I do more photography than burning DVDs or movies...... and I'm too busy with OBAMA CARE as I'm an insurance agent helping people get their coverage!

    Video: Ken Block Shreds LA in a Ludicrous 845-HP Mustang


    [HOONIGAN] KEN BLOCK'S GYMKHANA SEVEN: WILD IN THE STREETS OF LOS ANGELES





    THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY


    Video: Ken Block Shreds LA in a Ludicrous 845-HP Mustang

    Ever since we heard that Ken Block had rigged up a 1965 Mustang to send a nonsensical 845 horsepower to all four wheels, we’ve been eager to see it in action. The wait ended today with the YouTube debut of “Gymkhana 7: Wild in the Streets of Los Angeles.”

    We suggest you wait until your boss goes out for lunch and watch the full 12-minute video, but if you insist on taking a peek now, here are the five best moments and where to find them:

    0:55—Block spins all four wheels with the car chained up to keep it from moving, à la King Kong in his New York stage debut.
    4:56—20 seconds of donuts around Randy’s Donuts shop.
    7:35—Block blasts past a line of police cars following a white SUV in an ode to OJ Simpson’s run from the law.
    8:25—Donuts timed to slide under an outrageously bouncing lowrider. This is the part of the video that most resembles a terrifying mini golf obstacle.
    9:32—The reminder that when you spin your tires and surround your car with smoke, seeing where you’re going gets way harder. Which makes what Block’s doing all the more impressive.

    QUOTE DDP

    besides the cost of the car, there are no roads in north america that you can drive on that don't have some sort of speed limit like 60 or 70 miles per hour.

    WRONG

    That is crazy! That was what brought me to the forum, basically cutting my teeth on forums and DVD backups all at once, then about the time I start to almost understand what was going on, the interest dies off. :(
    I do appreciate all the help I received and knowledge that was shared along the way by you old farts, I mean old skool peoples. :D

    I'm sorry to hear about Pete. Think he was the first person to send me a PM way back when we were discussing protected sectors and my (very quiet) work on a certain part of a well used ripping program (still got backups of that kit lurking about too). In the last year a few have left us.. some I didn't like as much as I should, and others who (honest) should have gone years ago.. In my world you get hardened to it pretty quick.. but still.. it's always a little sad when it's somebody who I looked up to as a kind sharing sort of guy.

    Luxury!
    Our dad kept us in a pigeon loft with our feet nailed to the floor, it was rough at the time, but it built character, not like the kids today mollycoddled with x boxes and vaccinations.
