Bad part is I didnt pick it up, since I was driving a car with no space.

No pics of the bike yet here's the car! Bike pics to come later in the week.

First pic of the new ride. Battery in good camera is to dead to upload, so here's a crappy cell phone pic for now.

Jeremy Clarkson was just born that ugly. His melted face was actually an improvement.

Nice car 325racer! I just saw an episode of Top Gear this week with a Caterham driven with 4 other track-specific cars. I think the Caterham came in 3 out of 5 in lap times around their track but I'm not sure. This was an old episode from 2005 or something like that. Wasn't paying a lot of attention as I was busy drinking.
