    barrel-rolling a 911 in one easy lesson

    Suggested this was at a Aussie track a week after a V8 had performed the same maneouvre.

    Yup, that's certainly Australia. Pretty good way to ruin both your 911 and your weekend, really.

    Or use Mozilla and tell it to download movies. In fact, you used to be able to do that with IE, I've not used it in too long to remember how though.

    Most people were saying thats a new world record.

    remarkably, the V8 that was thought to be a right-off, after having a $200K rebuild was back to being competitive this weekend

    yeah well top gear got the record for 6 a few weeks ago so i reckon they should give it to him. I think the guy in the porsche was a bit sore but otherwise fine but Jason Richards in the V8 cracked a rib but still raced today

    I counted seven rolls too, though they weren't all technically in the horizontal plane.
