His Mansell impression was hilarious! :laugh: and a great time to boot!

[Andrew Longman]

I don't know why but the Mansell impression gave me flashbacks to NHR and PLN. Happy and sad.

Who will tell Jeremy that Vettel is German not French and that his name is not veTELL?

Who will tell Jeremy that Vettel is German not French and that his name is not veTELL?I was watching the F1 race this past weekend online and one of the announcers was pronouncing his name like that too, so I was beginning to wonder.

You don't ever want to talk to rescue squad workers about it. My college roomate's best friend in HS made a new 1977 TransAm about that small a few nights after graduation. They hauled it out of the woods in a pickup truck.

Yeah, they're pretty much stock standard HQ Holdens. They've raced them here since the 1970s (road racing until they did this in the 1990s)-it's very hard to find parts to keep them on the road because so many of them are raced.

The whole NASCAR/AUSCAR thing peaked here in the early 1990s and held reasonable crowds until about 1998 when they ran out of money and fans. The Australian NASCAR series used to run with the CART race in its early years

God I love Italian woman.

So I do a search for Abarth to see what is on the car and the internet tells me she is a Romainian named Catrinel Menghia and a rough translation of what she is saying is:

What are you looking at? Uh!?
What are you looking at?! (slap)
Are you undressing me with your eyes?
Poor guy… you can’t help it?
Is your heart beating? Is your head spinning?
Do you feel lost thinking that I could be yours forever?

Huh? They had a traditional 5 member rock band line up, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, keyboards and drums.

Their album "You Can Tune a Piano but You Can't Tuna Fish" are one of those that define high school for me being that it was released when I was a junior and owned me several of my friends and me.

[KLang]

I think REO Speedwagon was a mid-western thing. Still got a few of their albums from the 70's. :thumbup:

Another good one from that era: Head East

[Napoleon]

Head East, haven't heard them in years.

There was a band like that based in Cleveland in that era that was huge in some parts of Midwest but was barely known elsewhere.

Another good one from that era: Head EastSure thing.

Bob Seger's Night Move's and Nugent's Cat Scratch Fever albums were the first to get national airplay and distribution -- and they had been big in the midwest for ten years prior.

IIRC REO's first national album was IMO their first really bad one -- High Infidelity.

When I moved to the Midwest for college there were a ton of band, Head East, Wet Willie, Styxs, MC5, Cheap Trick, Foghat, etc. that I never, ever heard on the radio in NYC.

Then again, in MI no one I knew had heard of Little Feat, Robert Palmer, Peter Tosh, Joan Armitraning, vintage Bruce, James Cotton, etc. either.

(REO is closely associated with the Payola scandals in the '80's)

It was a family-friend is in the band deal. It was interesting to be back stage watching the radio station contest winners' meet & greet cattle call made up of middle-aged Styx fans reliving their youth and meeting their heroes.
