Anyway, Mike Simpson, Ginetta GT3 racer. Last weekend at Brands Hatch, the Ginetta works driver was running in third place and chasing down second position when, inexplicably, the windscreen of his G55 was hit. BY A FLYING DOOR.

True that. Though it would probably not pass over it, but hit frontally. Ah well :P Chances are you're not gonna test that (especially at 140mph)

Maybe not the hardcore off-road versions, but they claim this fancy Jeep will do 255kmh (which is north of 155mph ! )

Hihihihihi.... A Hemi 6,4 liter V8.... With fuel saver technology :D  To me, that sounds a bit like ordering an extra-large menu at McDonalds, then getting it with diet coke because you're on a diet...  :facepalm:


Also  doesn't really look like much off-road capabilities are left..

Yeah, those are pretty much purpose built street rigs.  :(  Though I wouldn't mind swapping my 4.7 for one of those!  :D
