Motivation...
As I was talking a bit in my earlier thread about loss of motivation this little movie clip boosts the motivation a bit... Ok the movie is in Swedish but I will post it anyways.... Its a test drive of the Swedish car Koenigsegg Agera R, 1140 bhp, think the engine is an Ford V8 that they boosted a bit...

PROVKÖRD: Koenigsegg Agera R - auto motor & sport

I guess you will understand the body language...

Enjoy...

//Mike

Ps: This is one thing to be proud of since SAAB went bankrupt and VOLVO got chinese and arent that funney cars either...

Gadden,

This Top Gear Infographic is pretty cool. I downloaded the pdf and printed it out on one of the plotters we use for radio propagation maps at work. I've got it hanging on the wall (it's about 6 foot tall) in my home office.

Peace,

Yes, that is motivation.
No matter what language, you can just about substitute our words for his. I would just like to hear his response after his two single finger salute when the white car just blasts by!
The sound especially.

I love the Koenigsegg, but you are not building one of those. How about more appropriate motivation?

Your building one of these:
