my most memorable "performance car" experience was the walk back to the dorm from the Boston end of the Longfellow bridge as a passenger in a Corvair that the driver boasted could hit 60 mph at the bridge crown as he punched it on the curving access ramp...

So did I. I have no doubt I will never have the opportunity to form an opinion. My teenage daughter's goal in life is to eat at Faviken (Magnus Nilsson).
I have no idea what it is with Denmark, Norway, and Sweden on these over the top restaurants.
True.That's a perpetual bias that will always cloud objectivity.
Part of the equation is that I trust her food and cooking.
I am slowly detoxing and recovering from too much workplace pesticides exposure, so a clean chemical free diet is of critical importance to me at present, and probably for ever more.
I have spent three months crook and off work, all the while researching the physiological/neurological effects of typical insecticides, fungicides and herbicides as used in food production and residual in our foods.
The short and long term effects of these agro chemicals are frightening as I know from personal experience, and the chemicals approvals process is at best short sighted, and at worst fraudulent, and it could be argued that the long term effects on the general population are known or even planned.
I am in personal contact with drivers of NFC technology which will be the way of the near future and onwards - Microchip label and smart phone app protects products against counterfeit scams.
This will give us provenance of our foods 'from paddock to plate', just watch how fast doubtful foods will be deleted from supermarket shelves due to informed consumer boycot.

Shite Waly you got it.

Hi Richard,
So you want a rat (in the old 70's sense).
Mine was normally aspirated in a '67 Cutlass. Turned mid 12's on street gas and street tires with everything still in the car. Doesn't sound like much, but back then, seeing the biggest Cutlass ever made go that fast was something. Trailing arms and coils in the rear, Monroe 500's all the way around and variable rate springs.
If it wasn't for the power plant, it was a very nice car to drive around. I had another one stock in the same colours. Shared a set of plates and confused the hell out of the neighbors.
It chirped the wheels going into drive from park with the brakes full on. It was an animal.
I'd love to make that car again and still have a daily driver.

Gee that's like a few blocks away. Proper justice is that they only kill themselves.

Goes with the territory Chicago has lost great chefs to cancer and suicide in the last few years. It's rare that someone gives me a dish that I just can't figure out but Grant did.
We've done this before, the 59 Cote du Rhone is probably not the best match with shrimp.
