Hunh, so it is. That's what I get for trusting a BMW owner!

Edit: Actually, it may be either. Mint green was paint code 097, evergreen is 358, and they're annoyingly similar.

I'd guess it's mint, though, because it appears to be the lighter of the two. And the license plate.

Nope, M Coupes only came in evergreen. Mint is something newer (and looks like poo poo, imo).

Just saw this on I-5 North just South of Everett. The girder was so large that it was the thing connecting the front of the truck with the back. If you look close enough you can see the driver!

I bet it's for the new bridge in Mt. Vernon.

They have a similar vehicle with rear driver for moving the Boeing 777 wings from Auburn Fabrication to the Boeing Everett factory.

Am I just getting old? Or would this car be 10 times more awesome if it was about 3 inches higher so that it could actually be driven without worrying about tearing the bottom off of it. I mean, my first car was super slammed and it looked cool, but I had to drive super careful and slow as poo poo most of the time. My current car I won't even lower because it already scrapes certain intersections. I love how a super slammed car looks, but it's so much more satisfying to have a balanced suspension that lets you hoon like a total rear end in a top hat with disregard to the bottom of the car.

That car is definitely on bags and set low for the photo. It is/was owned by the same guy who owned "rusty slammington" aka the rusted out e28 535i

Yeah, it looked nice but it was totaled, so not a surprise he turned it into rusty. I liked the car, personally but I think that guy is a huge prick.

Its just a shame that the rest of the car looks like it was abandoned in a shopping mall for a decade or two.

The roof was chopped while it sat in a parking lot? The thing was totaled outside of the owners actions, he hosed around with it and that's what you see.

That hood and bumper are only found on the RC/CS homologation models. Also features a water to air intercooler and a bit more horsepower iirc.

Dunno if this was already posted, but this guy did a 9:55 on the 'ring in a 52hp Citroen AX diesel.

This is amazing

quote:

This record lap was done on Saturday August 17th 2013 at 8:37am.
It was the 118th Nordschleife lap for this car and my 10th attempt trip (1115 km away from Bordeaux in France).
Lap timing equipment = mobile phone with Harry's Lap Timer and a XGPS150 Bluetooth receiver.

It took me a lot of time and patience to achieve a "Bridge To Gantry" lap time under 10 minutes during the tourist drive sessions at the Nordschleife.
This challenge was definitely for fun but also to prove it could be done with work, tenacity and a bit of madness too...
I have been chasing the 'perfect lap' for 7 years with no traffic, no road works, fresh air, dry track, no driving mistakes and a reliable drivetrain.
This TUD3 diesel engine is known for its poor reliability and I went through 9 engines and 5 gearboxes!
Here I want to thank all the people who spent time to help me work on this little car.

With such a non-powerful car, if you kill the momentum you're done, and in many corners I tend to overdrive the car trying to maximize momentum.
For this reason, my video is not a driving lesson at all!

During all these years I tried to be respectful of the N�rburgring tourist drive rules, the other users (faster and slower cars) and the people working on the track.
Recording movies and lap times is not allowed, in theory...but I made this video to show you don't necessarily need a sport car and a lot of money to enjoy driving.

May I present a video of a Citro�n AX diesel laying down a sub-10 minute time on the ring? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBFjHjm0O5M

The thing is mostly stock, too. It's insane.

e: Dude is not wearing a helmet, either. I can only assume it's to save weight. He had been working on that time for years, too, regularly driving to the Ring from France, carrying replacement engines and a sleeping bag in the car. Talk about dedication.

2nd best video
