i saw a good enough reason why you should be careful when tracking your car.

I didn't think the LM had a wing like that, and assuming you mean the same one as in good ol' GT4, it should have a wide body kit as well, yours has a normal body kit. Nice spot on the R35 by the way.

Nah, not so much, I've seen loads of them now. The LM doesn't have a wing like that, it's obviously aftermarket. I just thought that the colour is the LM colour.

Pics or ban.


@Rue: Any chance you could post a full size image of the CL55 AMG? I've been looking for a good enough pic to go through the HDR filter.

Sure. Gimme a bit of time though, I'm too tired right now. I have a shot of the front too if you're interested.
 
I don't believe your SV6 breaks down all the time, my step-father owns one and it's a dream.

It has had its power steering unit fail at 2000kms and 15,000kms. The cooling fan switch fails continuously and the clutch master cylinder has failed twice. Plus, for some reason the bulb in the left hand driving light keeps blowing.

It is good fun to drive, but I can't be bothered with it anymore so it will be traded on something new in a month or so.
 
I filled the Volvo with petrol today, and got a pleasant suprise at the petrol station. From left to right, a Merc S500, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and a '58 Plymouth (ID please!):

I also saw a Mercedes S500 AMG V12, for sale for £4,495... at a local scrapyard:

Yeah, easiest way to tell the difference between a Challenger and a Charger:

Charger's a boat, in essence.

Awesome shots though 👍

How are you going to do and HDR image with only one exposure? Here you go...

How are you going to do and HDR image with only one exposure?

I 'fake' the other two in Photoshop... thanks. I'll do it tomorrow at work. Sometimes it turns out fine, others it doesn't. we'll see.
 
Hmmmph how come I never saw any nice cars when I was in Spain? I think the best thing was a Seat Leon or something.

because he was in Marbella, which is like a little Monaco in Spain, except it's on an island (Mallorca?), next to Ibiza. The rest of Spain is pretty average.

Marbella is actually in mainland spain on the costa del sol, west of malaga. I've been into marbella town and saw bugger all, it's really only puerto banus that seems to have the cars (and yachts and shops, some Jimmy Choo items were €4000 EACH:eek:)

But yes it is a small monaco in somewhat exoticless spain except madrid and Barcelona.
 
Ah well, I knew I was onto something. My ignorance is forgiven because I'm not Spanish :D

Conversely, we have Jimmy Choos too... and Manolos...
