Just in case it's not clear from the picture, he's not even in a parking spot. He parks in the area where the little ramp is for rolling things onto the sidewalk. I'm kind of impressed how far someone will go just to get the point across that they're an rear end in a top hat.

The silver one is an F40 Comp. too, that's some serious money in terms of cars.

Just to clear this up for me, was that intended for the terrible car thread because of the way he parked, or is it in the awesome thread because that's some cool special edition Mustang I'm not familiar with yet? I've enjoyed Mustangs with rear window covers in the past (decades in the past) so I'm open to current ones, but that particular one isn't doing much for me, but I have no idea if that's some factory option on one of those crazy 800hp mustangs or something.

Q_res posted:The silver one is an F40 Comp. too, that's some serious money in terms of cars. If he owns both, and both are real, that's 20% of the worlds stock of F40C's. I wonder if one (or both) are the two badged F40LM before the remaining 8 were built as C's. Or are they normal F40's rebuilt as LM/C's? Either way, it's a few million dollars. Each, probably. e- if I had to guess the blue one is a rebuilt F40 that he drives, the silver one being either an LM or C based on the fact that it still has plastic wrap on the seats.

Seat Safety Switch posted:The louvers are one of many customization options on the Mustang; you can change the grill, etc as well. You mean from the factory I assume? So as far as anyone can tell from that photo it's a 2013 V6 Mustang? They're fine cars don't get me wrong, I just wasn't sure if there was something awesome I wasn't picking up on.

They're fine cars don't get me wrong, I just wasn't sure if there was something awesome I wasn't picking up on. Most of those upgrades aren't factory upgrades, but it's nothing you can't ask a dealer to do. I'm not sure what kind of engine it is. There are no badges that indicate it's anything more than a V6, but I just can't imagine someone putting that much after-market stuff on a V6 Mustang. In terms of looks, I think you'll get mixed opinions. The color scheme is nice, but the main reason I posted it was because what an insane piece of poo poo the owner must be to have a car that looks like that, that license plate, and then to park on the handicap ramp. atomicthumbs posted:It's not just the "ramp for rolling things onto the sidewalk"; I'm pretty sure he's parked in the handicap van offloading zone.

So this showed up out of the blue in our uni workshop today, a Bugatti Type 35 to try and spruce the place up for Patrick Head's visit. Apologies for the awful phone camera quality. Sweet positive camber on the front This steering scares the hell out of me, but I'm told trucks use it quite commonly The supercharged straight 8 producing as much power as my diesel econo-box A bonus shot of our Harrier jet And a shot of the interior. They're hidden behind the wheel but it has a couple of MSA scrutineering stickers on it, so it's seen the track fairly recently. I forgot to get a shot of it but the steering wheel is noticeably bent from the side like a taco.

Sweet car, but tell me more about your harrier. Does it fly or is it a display?

That steering setup is still used in Jeeps (and other solid front axle 4x4s), with only slight linkage changes.

Kleemann is first and foremost a tuning company, they do engine upgrades for most Mercedes models (and I think BMW and Audi as well, now), as well as suspension upgrades and styling. Pretty similar to Brabus, actually. They're based in Farum, right near Copenhagen, so we get more than our fair share of Kleemann-tuned cars around here One of my colleagues has a W211 E-class that's been breathed on by them, it's pretty gnarly. I can't see any power upgrades for the SLS on their site though, so it's probably just because the owner bought a set of wheels or something from them. E: VVV Well, darn. I must have missed that when I looked. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Oct 18, 2012 |

I just saw the first one like that the other day, though it looked like a precision vinyl cut to cover all but the white outline. I'd have ordered this already if it wouldn't cost me another $125/5yr to do so: Digging through my server, I found this shot of what looked like an old Trans-Am car that someone brought to the Pavilions years ago:

If that was the real deal than holy poo poo.

Probably not -- most places any changes to the plate, even if they don't affect the visibility of the numbering, are illegal. In Ontario, where we have white plates with blue lettering, it's even illegal to repaint the numbers blue when they start to wear off.

In Ontario, where we have white plates with blue lettering, it's even illegal to repaint the numbers blue when they start to wear off. Texas actually had a law that made it illegal to have anything that obscured the name of the state in any way. Which made a lot of license plate frames illegal. They revised it in 2007, now as long as half of the state name is visible you're fine. Made for a lot of reporting on the news though. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Oct 18, 2012 |
