We were up in Port Townsend for the weekend. Nice place. Hadn't been there in a while.

you're keeping a much cooler head than I would in the same situation. i would be livid and go on a forum tyraid. Are you going to be stuck with the repair bill/deductible?

also, is that a S60R or V70R?
 
Yeah, it's an S60R.

I'm not stuck footing the bill, luckily. The lost wheel was pretty apparent to the other driver. He didn't, however, know it had hit me so we had to hustle down the street before they left. I've filed a claim with their insurance and I should be able to get repairs shortly.

I'm hoping *crosses fingers* I get a new front bumper out of this. It's been in less than stellar shape since I got the car; dings, scratches, parking spot curb rash, etc.

It would be easy to lose my cool, but I know the end result is going to be a car better off than before, and there'll be little more than a headache getting there. It's a pretty cut and dry situation, with a police report and a nice older couple that just wanted to get home, so I foresee no insurance bellyaching.

I really love that car and couldn't help but notice the recaro seats :D. Are they really necessary, you must go crazy in that thing to warrant those :P.

Also, was that photo a panorama?
 
They're standard kit. Also, yes, yes we do :D

The photo was an experiment with HDR. I used the camera's AEB settings to shoot +/- 2 stops and Venari nailed them together - I don't own suitable software and he does. I've tweaked the colour balance a bit, because it looked a little orange in the resulting shot.

Nicely done :). My dad owns an insane panorama program, I am not sure what it is called but he does around 30-60 image panoramas :scared:. Needless to say, they take a long time to stitch together :lol:.

EDIT: Hmm, over-usage of smileys doesn't look so great...

Not sure if this is supposed to be sarcasm, but even a bone stock Civic on 185's can generate enough cornering g's to benefit from a racing seat. I imagine you don't drive hard very often or something.
 
Shoot, my Escort can throw me out of the seat in tight corners.

Speaking of which, I've been stressed out lately. Maybe I should go grab it and thrash it around for a bit.

It was sarcasm but as I don't drive yet (i'm 15) I wouldn't have a huge idea of what tossing a car around does. I do know however that our 02' liberty B4 gets a good thrashing every now and then and its not too hard to stay in the seat. I will have a better idea when I start driving in a year.

that's my 2nd audi of this kind. First was a simple A3 1.8t quattro with a modded engine with 210PS, Fully tuned ricer style (yeah i did it)

The bumper and the paint was made by audi which i'm sueing for 2 years now, because the paint in scattering due to bad prework and the bumper doesn't sit 1:1 as it should be and i can't fix it myself because of the sueing...
You are still ricing it.. Seriously dude, you really raped that S3.. Wtf is wrong with you putting that fugly bumper on that car? Please save this car, put the original bumper back.. Please, I beg you.. And those tail lights, what were you thinking? Stop raping this car..

I'm verry sorry but I had to say this..
Oh shnap! Any more pics of the girl? Seriously one of the hottest car girls I've seen in a long time. 👍
Oh yeah I soooooooooo agree!

Next time try not holding on to anything and lifting your feet off the floor while it's happening. When you're driving hard and you need to be precise with the footwork and steering, you can't do it all and simultaneously brace yourself.

Well, you can, but once you try it with a racing seat, you realize how much more precise you can be.
 
Hell yeah, I can't do jack in terms of precision driving with my Ute at the moment, I very BADLY need bucket seats in order to make it work.
(Side note: Commodores have had crap-house seats for ever, only recent HSVs go some way to fixing that).

1995 Land Rover Discovery, diesel, manual, 103500 miles. Price to me: £0.00. It's been sat in a barn at work for as long as I've been there (since the beginning of the year); I enquired about it as I knew the Volvo wouldn't pass another MOT test and was told if I can get it running I can have it. Needed a new back half exhaust as the old one had rusted, all the red diesel cleaning out and a service. A friend of mine works for an independant Land Rover garage (hence the spare wheel cover); he took the Volvo off me for £100 of Landy bits, because he wants to tramp drift it :scared:
 
stick shift, excellent. get that free advertising off of that spare tire asap :sly:
 
just gave her a bath... beautiful evening. she's never looked so good.

Approve approve approve 👍 Not in bad shape by the looks of it, either.

Got the car washed and waxed and my Fiancée and I went out with her 8 and took some pics at a local park. Points to the person who can identify where this was. *cough*McLaren*cough* :D

High res is available but not loaded on the website. These are uncolor corrected and whatnot.
