Article from f1.on.net:

According to reports on Pitpass.com, MotoGP ace Valentino Rossi, may test for the BAR team later this year. BAR boss Dave Richards has lined up the champion following another victory at the weekend.

Richards has witnessed Rossi dominate bike racing in the same way that Michael Schumacher has dominated F1 this season.

Rossi races for the Honda team and BAR's links with Honda create this opportunity for the young Italian.

John Surtees was the last man to win both an F1 championship and a motorbike title.

"I've spoken to Valentino," Surtees was quoted byPitpass.com.

"He has the talent, and if he feels he can make the jump from two to four wheels then this is the time."

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Stagea identification?

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
