i had the chance to ride in one of those this weekend and DAMN! Very nice, doing 80 and it was very smooth, we didnt get to hit and jumps or whoops thought because of where we were, but we did go off about a three foot drop and didnt feel a thing

I have a friend that works there. Those cars are very nice. if you got 80g's just laying around the house go buy one I would its a race car with sand tires.

Beavis i take it you know the merttins outta holtville then... I used to work with her... she told me she was buying one... Aparantly she knew the builder or something hell if iknow... but ohh well...

I heard that the Paradigm boys about 4 weeks ago did a commercial/promo tape of their car in action at Glamis when it was 110+ degrees.
The tapes or DVD's should be availible in about
1 week. Call Matt at Paradigm Race Cars for your copy. (714-990-9599)

They also did a little bit of footage in town, here in Holtville, i dont know if it was for the same thing but i know it had something to do with the bank cause that is where they went.

Hey guys. We where out there when they where doing the video shoot. That car is no Sandcar. A sandcar does not run down a car on the highway and wave to them as they past. One of the cars that was there, was probally doing 125mph in some spots on sand highway. One of my friends was doing 100mph behind them trying to see what was going on and could not catch them, he was on the road, they where in the sand. Pretty crazy!!! You know whats the best thing about being a girl at Glamis?? I am going to ride in that car, You bet your ass! See my screen name? Its True!!

Well let me be the first to welcome your 38D's

Go to www.paradigmracecars.com and check out the videos of them going down sandhighway

The videos on the website are not the new film action, that is coming in about week!!!!
Note to Ms 38DD's: I am sure the owner would love to take you on test ride, I mean drive, you get the point!!!!!!!! All in good Taste!!!!!

The first video looks like it was taken right off of Date Palm and the 10 on the powerline road? right in front of Edom Hill

I think that is correct, that video was done about 9 months ago. The new stuff is all at Glamis and it is pretty good stuff from what I hear. They said the blown car at 3000+ lbs rides monster wheelies and took 3 of the film crew + driver for a pass down sand hwy at a buck ten. There are a couple of runs on video with the car making a run down sand hwy at 128 + verified on radar.

well the owner of that car.. has a wife and 2 kids well one now and one on the way... but im sure he would give u a ride in his car... i just wouldnt be caught dead sittin in the back seat of that thing... if that belt happend to break on that ls1 whoever is in the back seat is gonna get a serpentine belt upside the head...

The owner of the car has a hot wife, and one kid with none on the way. The belt issue is not a problem, they have made a complete guard so if that were to ever happen, so quit being so nervous!!!!! Get in, sit down, shut up, and hold the f*** on, it is almost, better than sex. Fast, yeah, it is probably faster than anything most people have ever ridden in, man is it fun!!!!!
Matt and the crew at Paradigm builds one trick and very tough car.

Derek

when you get the chance to ride in that thing, the belts done come close to crossing your mind, believe me.

Now Now Boys! I said a ride in the car! I am sure the fast car owner likes fast women too! I heard that Paradigm only builds cars for very rich people and if you dont have a 125,000 you might wanta go down the street to the wanta be's. Is that true? Somone was telling me that they only build cars for big names Like Herbst Brothers,Gary Turner, Arciero, McMillens, and the guy that owns Fabtech. Anyways I wouldnt mind hanging around that crowd. So the guy that owns the Black car that I saw is some big money guy behind Paradigm? Someone told me that. Anyways boys keep your pants on! This girls taken! Whats the deal with the commerical? A friend of mine know the guy at Paradigm an he let him see the spot.He said that its someone European commerical. He said it has wierd music and a girl gets out at the end? Whats that about? This guy lets girls drive his car? HHHMMM

Those guys get a little out of hand sometimes! I have seen that car out there a few times going way to fast!!!! Boys at Paradigm I seen that car up close and personal! Its not you that I am worried about. If you where to hit another car you would be fine. However there is a lot of crap out there that you guys could seriuosly hurt someone. Remember boys that this group of people are all "Monkey See Monkey Do" and if you do 125 down sand highway, well the Monkeys are gonna want to do 125 down sand highway. Some of those cars shouls not even be allowed to come off there trailers!! From what I have seen and heard all you boys over at that shop are some pretty dam good drivers. Well guess what? There are some monkeys that arent! I have heard rumor that you guys have footage of jumping the canal? Is that true? Remember boys we are all there to have fun, just because you have a bigger and badder cars than all the rest of us, dont you get hurt and dont let the things that you set an example of get other people hurt! Have fun Be Safe! Oh and you guys are deffentaly not Monkeys!

Ms. 38's you do not need to worry, all the guys are good people at Paradigm Race Cars and only respect for you and your friends, What you say goes, as far as we are concerned. Note to the safety issue, that is why we were out there when it was so hot so that we could make it as safe as possible. All Vehicles had radio communication at all times with spotters at several locations. Safety is our 1st priority, Paradigm will build cars for anyone who knows how to respect other people and themselves, in doing this it promotes safety for the people around them and the equipment. You are right in the fact that if one of the Paradigm cars hit another, most cars would come out on the losing end do to the size and weight difference.

Derek

To my knowledge, no one has jumped the canal in a buggy although Andrew Buck was considering it.

Wow, old thread. These guys didn't seem to last long. Interesting reading though.

Looks to me like a couple of builders talking amongst themselves.


Now they all disappeared.

MIke

Looks like they didn't have quite enough money behind them.

So what happened to them anyway . My friend did work for them awhile ago but he moved out of state and I haven't heard from him or about Paradigm in a long time . That black car was bada$$

Well, what happened was, Matt was dicking his customers and taking parts from them and not doing what he said he was going to do. Then he went to work for Robby Gordon. Let's just say that Robby got fugged.

There are not very many Paradigm cars out there. There are two guys that I know of that would just as soon spit on this guy if they ever saw him again. That is not counting Robby and Kartek!

Too bad, he did some nice work. The two guys that I know who own Paradigms, like them.

Matt Goodsell, who I understand, was the man behind Paradigm, went off to build chopper bicycles.

He was on Monster Garage some time back.

He also attempted to "sell" a buggy project on Ebay also. Not complete but wanted to get the backing to build a car with someone’s 6-figure deposit. Didn't win that one.

Too bad the guy isn't still in the business from the point of all the bitchen work they did.

His 4-door Ford that they were building ended up going to Stewarts to get re-worked and completed. McMillins are now running around in it.

Matt also built the Fabtech supercrew but got re-done also. Brett King has one of the class 1 cars that he built. Right now it is sitting in Geiser Brothers shop.

those cars are very trick, I would race 0-100 for 100K cash though. Then after I beet you I can afford one.

beet?

Sorry, poor spelling, but I bet you were smart enough to figure it out, or not??
