RE: Need for Speed & Concorso Italiano & Euro Lights

[Berlina71@domain.elided]

The Need for Speed III has the Ital Design Scighera in it. That is the car 
with the skinny tail lights. The PC version of the game has several nice 
photos and specifications of the car that the Sony Playstation doesn't. The 
Scighera has a nice 3.0 24V engine with a couple of nice turbos that are 
bolted on. I would personally prefer to drive a real Scighera, but the PC 
version with a force feedback wheel can be fun too.

If you didn't go to Concorso Italiano this year, you missed out. Fiat 
displayed the new Multipla and the Coupe. I was really surprised how much 
better the Multipla looks in person than in pictures. Another sight worth 
mentionioning was the beautiful Ferrari Modena. It doesn't get any better 
than this.

I also managed to buy a set of H4 euro 164 lights from the guy that sells 
those talbot mirrors. They only are $245 each, which isn't bad compared to 
the price of the DOT US lights. They fit and look better than the US lights! 
There is an ugly space between the hood and the top of the light on the US 
cars. With the euro lights, the hood just flows over the lights. The only 
thing you need to modify is the wiring, which uses  one modular plug for 
everything. Note, these aren't the skinny projector headlamps that are on 
some euro 164's. Check out http://www.talbotco.com if you are interested.
