I really do need to take the drive up Mt Washington one of these days. I haven't done it since I was a kid. Edit: Speaking of which, here's a dude with a deathwish riding it on a dirtbike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1DjEO-tnZo Disgruntled Bovine fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Sep 27, 2013 |

Yea same here, it seemed much longer when I was a kid though. I just went earlier in the month in a group thing but it was foggy that day and I wanted to be able to see out this time. I'm kind of afraid of heights and there are some genuinely scary parts near the top. Especially the dirt part. I love it up there though, its kinda spooky sometimes.

Went to a little Caterham 7 BBQ. Even though the weather's already getting a little crisp, there's still plenty of time to drive with the top down if you just have the right attitude! And a couple of shots from the summer that I think I haven't posted here yet:

Partially fixed my brakes. I don't seem to have anyway to loosen the bleeder screws, though, so I'm gonna leave it with a mechanic for an hour while I go to school and let HIM do it.

The older Alfas all washed up before winter storage. I should drop the front of the GTV by an inch or so. Just need to find the time and motivation to adjust the torsion bars. The 75 would need some mapping, brake balance/force testing, a few uniballs instead of rubber/polyurethane to the front suspension, transaxle oil change and maybe a clutch job. Should be enough for the winter, considering the lack of a warm garage.

All hubcaps are bad, but those arent terrible. My old glossy black spraypainted ones were. Ah, to be 17 and full of great ideas. Cage fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Oct 11, 2013 |

They're hubcaps?? They look like alloys. Get some paint and spray the centres and they'll look at least... 15 times better.

Hopefully over the weekend I will get the time to have a better look at what the previous owner did to it (he may have sprayed the middles himself), as well as fit the new stereo (previous owner botched the install of an ipod connector and disconnected the rear speakers and sub) and start a few interior repairs (rear ashtray and glovebox hinge e.t.c).

I like the wheels, gives it a very clean, video-game-esque low-poly look. Also, are those S4 blades that were added?

It's an S-Line that has been rebadged as an S4 (as well as some other mods like an induction kit the size of a wastepaper basket), I think they came with some of the same suspension and bodywork extras but without the really nice bits like the bigger engine. Popping off the S4 badges as soon as I can find the hairdryer, already fed up of BMW's wanting a race at the lights no I'm not, but it feels fraudulent The alloys are growing on me

The USP was the B6 equivalent of the S-line though. Those are B7 S-line blades, however, which don't stick out as much as S4 blades. I'd bet that the wheels are replicas, not OE A8 wheels.

DesperateDan posted:That's me schooled! Next time you have one off, look at the back side of the spokes. You'll see stampings that will tell you who made them, offset, etc. The only reason I say they might be reps is that the spokes look slightly different than the OE versions. No shame in running reps though.

Can someone post a photo of those huge and ridiculous mercedes chrome wheels? The ones that look almost like deep dish pizza trays? I kinda have an obsession with those things. They are cool and large and shiny and look cool on 90s S class sedans.
