alnbobbikay..2005 Intermeccanica "RUBY"

It sounds like the little car is running badly.....The reason for this is because of the revolution limiter.....it keeps the R.P.M. from going too high and blowing up the engine.........

Note at the very end, the sparks coming from the rear wheel rims as the tires burn down .

Allan, is this the way you treat Ruby?

He'd get better tread life if he rotated every two miles.

Puts new meaning to the phrase: " I like to drive the socks off it."

I wish I knew if this was really cool, and excellent show of driving ability, or a rediculous show of smoke and noise. Maybe it's both. There was a section there that reminded me of the guys who surf through the pilings under the peirs. Anyway, in the end I say: so what??
