Since the Montreal Grand Prix is fast approaching I figured it only fitting that I feature a little Great White North in preparation for the upcoming coverage for the F1 race.
Enjoy!!

This is the first track test of the DP4 from Palatov Motorsport (www.dpcars.net).
It is intended for use on a kart track but one look at the speed at which this monster of a kart overtakes S2000's and Ariel Atoms on a full road course would lead one to believe that driving this on a kart track would be down right insane and somewhat stupid or absent minded.
The builders inspiration for the design was wrought from the experience of slapping a V8 into an Ariel Atom. If that isn't a barometer on how this tiny beast is supposed to perform than I don't know what is.
This mans disregard for the laws of physics as well has his disregard for human life and limb makes me want to meet him. There is nothing more exciting that driving an untamable beast just to see what you are capable of.
Any of you out there with $24k to drop on a kit should, by all means, grab one up and help this crazy entrepreneur reach his goal. (possibly of dying in a fiery kart crash)
Hell if you have $37k to waste he will deliver a completed one to your door with a 200hp 1200 cc motor and AWD for you to kill yourself in swiftly.
As always; keep the dirty side down kids.
Introducing Myself
Hi all.
As you have probably noticed there is a new name on the authors list and that is me. I am him here I am.
You will notice that I have a rather unorthodox style of writing and I pepper my columns with a bit of sarcasm and as much wit as I can muster without overdoing things and turning people off.
In the future I will be posting automotive randomness as well as rantings of an unemployed enthusiast.
A little about myself: Currently unemployed due to the economy, I am an E36 M3 owner. As anyone who has experience with the 36 you know that being unemployed and owning this car does not fit very well as they need labor and attention (read $$$) to run properly.
I am married with a ten month old child and two dogs. I also have a mortgage. I will often rant about my life and would like to inform you in advance about the minutae that is my life. As I type my son just woke from a nap and I have to run.
More automotive juiciness will follow. Til then. See ya later.
Remember to always keep the dirty side down and between the ditches.
