Did anyone see the new episode of PINKS! tonight? There was a nice lil suprise when I saw that one of the contestants was racing a 924! Pretty exciting, except he broke down after the first race..

Thanks for the info, Tim, but I don't think Khal's question was entirely serious.

Tim, it's so nice to see you grow. You are the board's little boy.

Can't believe no one watches Speed Channel.. PINKS is basically a drag racing show.. New episodes air Wednesday at 830 CPT.

Probably have to wait for it to hit the internet before anyone across the ponds can see it?

Are you really that surprised no-one here watches Pinks? Well, close to it?

Where's that link to the Pyramid of Speed, now... ah, yes, here we are...

someone posted this on rennlist also..... I read that the 924 broke before the race even started and it supposedly had a chevy v8 or something?

Yes it had a v8 in it. Big meats on the back, no spoiler, grey colored. It broke 3/4 way down the track, he lost 4th gear or something..
