Cruisin’ through Santa Monica yesterday, I spotted this clad BMW. I said “hey, I gotta snap me a shot of that beast!”

I pulled along side after I shot this one, and ONLY this one. The guy took one look “at me.” Said… “Oh #@&*!!” Then took off a runnin!’ I mean, I wasn’t even holding the camera!

Behind him was another one just like it and he came screamin’ by me like they both just saw a ghost. Now, I admit, I’m not the best looking dood on the globe, but I’m no ghost either. But,… I am The Fireball. So, if you mess with The Fireball, you get “spiced.”

So, I chased them for a bit just to make them nervous. And they drove like they were Domino’s driver about to lose $10 bucks for being late. They made about 42 violations along the way. I only made 32. Snap!

One thing’s for sure. This series BMW handles pretty well in a chase. Maybe “The Transporter” should get back IN one?

Fireball’s Tim’s WORLD OF CARS – DELOREAN!

Bikes, Cars, Girls, ACTION! Like, does a movie need anything else? Ok fine… someone get the popcorn.

C…. Stands for cool. Or maybe crunchie. But seeing as how this is about cars, crunchie makes no sense whatsoever. Cool, eh? See how I just whipped that out?

Cars. Cartomobiles. Ooo. That’s a word. You ever wonder how car companies come up with their names? Like Continental? Corniche? Cordoba?

Wait. I’ve got one. … Cooltinental. And so… here are some Cooltinental C’s.

Name ‘em, and win a Million Doolareshlattens!!

So, my buddy Dan Woods can be pretty proud. He’s done it again on his show Chop, Cut, Rebuild. Way to go, you nutty Canadian!

B. …B is a good letter. It stands for BITCHIN.’ Or maybe BOLONEY. Fried Boloney. Or how about BADASS. That’s a good one.

The word “be” suggests the present moment. As in “I be bitchin.” Which you KNOW you are. Not grammatically the best of usages, but hey, we’re car people and we say things like that.

So, here’s the best of the “B’s.” Not all of them, as the list would go on around the moon, but just a teaser. So, after you’ve checked them out… “Be positive and make something of your day.”

The B’s. Oh, and join in on my upcoming CAR SHOW in Huntington Beach.

Now, Mini Coopers have cornered the market on funky cool. This much we know. But there’s a lot of hot hatches out there and more coming. But is there really a “MCK” out there?

Case in point… The Audi A1 and Citroen Ds3. I’ve heard a lot about these lil’ beasts taking away a wee bit of the Mini control. But, I think not. The doods that buy a MINI are into levity. The A1 and Ds3 are anything but funny.

These two road rockets are destined to be serious pocket powered attitude generators. Therefore, they’re different. But which one is for you? And which one is for me?

The ONLY way judge is to get behind the wheel and lay down the hammer. Let’s see if Audi and Citroen are up for a Fireball foot smack…
