Because this crap went around the net YEARS ago which was proven to be a
part of a web site which posts stories that are good enougn to be true,
but arent. 
Besides, this story had alot of variances from teller to teller.

Because its a funny story. As is the guys who were ice fishing with
dynamite, threw a lit stick and the dog fetched it back ect ect. Funny
story, but NOT true.

Of course.

Yah, dont take my word for it. Look it up.

I understood your point. Im simply dissagreeing with you is all. You fail
to recognize that the TA series cars were DEDICATED RACE CARS. Thats all
im pointing out to you. I also said that I didnt think a 140 mph Scirocco
is not impossible either. Damn rare but not impossible.

David, I also pointed out that it was hugely gravity assisted and also
gave the actual speed figures of the car, remember!

Dissagreeing with you is in no way nit picking. Nor was I trying to
compete with you. (Whatever that means exactly.) If you cant handle the
conversation aspect of the list, (or any list) you might want to consider
not posting because SOMEBODY will probably reply to what you say and from
the looks of things, that might upset you. I dont want that.
