Rad across the board. But I have two questions:Grimster posted: is the deal with the giant loving spider?Is the guy in the Porsche giving the finger to the guy in the vette?

This is Stella, my DD 1976 Jeep CJ-7. AMC 304 V8 with the factory AWD auto trans/trans. case combo. She's pretty sure footed in the winter snow/ice and makes it up hills/ruts my friends 90s+ XJ's and WJ's can only dream about. Click here for the full 1024x685 image.

DogDodger posted:What track is that? The spider is interesting. Thanks. I'm not gonna lie. I didn't even notice the FUCKOFF HUGE SPIDER until you mentioned it. No sarcasm, I was just too busy looking at a Rabbit, Vette, and a Porsche. Kind of sad, considering it dominates half the picture.

I think giant monster props are the key to road racing making a comeback in America, think of the headlines! (...ignore the idiotic typo  )

In this shot at VIR last November we see an A3, an RS 6, another A3, an Integra, an RSX, a 911, an A6, and me in an RS 4.  Picture taken by Sideline Sports Photography.

I phrased that badly, in no way condescending of the photo. It's a good picture in my opinion. I also love how there is a Porsche and a Vette behind the Rabbit  Makes me kinda fuzzy feeling inside, and kinda humorous, regardless of the fact that he was probably being lapped.

DogDodger posted:What track is that? The spider is interesting. Thanks. Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. Hopefully I'll be able to do the school at the Talladega Gran Prix track in March (I think it is) and then hopefully be able to actually run in ITB this year where I'll be on track with "like" cars (meaning I won't be the slowest thing out there by a factor of 100 hp or more). Doctor Bud posted:Makes me kinda fuzzy feeling inside, and kinda humorous, regardless of the fact that he was probably being lapped. And lapped and lapped... Lots of fun though. In the twisties though, the little Rabbit could keep more speed than most of the vettes/vipers but once out of the twist it was just not even funny how fast they'd pull in the couple of feet I could put on them in a corner.

My new (to me) 2008 Sierra SLE 1500 Ext Cab. Also, my 1984 Hurst/Olds.  (not my picture, but exact same car to a tee.) I don't have a picture of my 1953 Pontiac Chieftain with a rebuilt 4-bolt main 350. I'm using lead for the body work and shaving off all the door handles.

It's a ton of fun catching high-horsepower cars in turns. The Rabbit was the only obviously track-prepped car in that shot, which is one reason why I thought nothing of the cars' positions.

Kuvo posted:'08 135i I think I would love this car! I read Jeremy Clarkson's review of it in the Times. He says its probably the best car BMW makes, even beating the M3. Being about the same size as the original M3 and with even more power, it brought him straight back to the crazy 80s.. Sounds pretty unbeatable to me..

It's a Ford Focus XR5 (ST) -Spiffy-, but I can see where you're coming from. The Polo isn't that quick but a lot of fun, shame about the intermittent shifting problem that no one can diagnose  I might just also say thanks to everyone who posted their photos, I really enjoyed reading this thread.

Are those Kosei K1s? If so how much were they? I looked for them after I got my car last year and it sounded like they were out of production (at least in my car's size).

Finally got around to washing my car, so what better time to snap a couple of photos. 2002 Focus, 1.8l engine, nothing much modified as of yet aside from the wheels and various cosmetic bits but I have got some plans for her.    And bonus interior shot:
