Devyl posted:I feel your pain I've been looking at these, and I dare say it's one of the last of the models focused solely on going fast too. The Z4M doesn't compare because it's not as focused. Knowing BMW somehow they'll make the USS ///M6 run the 'ring faster.

I love seeing prototypes of iconic/low production cars because you really get to see the progression of thought and design that goes into the cars.

I unironically want that black GT- On the road safety stuff, hearing "speed kills" bleated by CHP / MADD / whomever really annoys me. I think "Mistakes while driving sometimes kill you" is the right mindset to approach driving with. Speed isn't the only thing to worry about, sometimes you're driving a Kombi, or one of these  I didn't know they made them in RHD until today!

God those projectors are horrible looking. I'm surprised considering the car appears to be a Diablo GTR clone instead of an original, you'd think that they would use a projector kit that doesn't make the front of the car look like that.

It was kind of a bummer seeing some of those art cars didn't have any running gear in them at all. That E36 was one example, you get up close and you can see it's just empty in the engine bay.

That's why lawyering up no matter how retarded something sounds is always a good idea. The system is not set up to make it fair for you; if you're worried about money you can ask your attorney to counter-sue for recovery of costs.

I'm thinking South Virginia Street / Old 395 where it joins up with Geiger Grade, aka 341 to Virginia City. That is one wide piece of road and it wouldn't surprise me if those guys were going to some Virginia City function.

Bucephalus posted:I get the "race a $500 beater" part, but not the parade of hippie stoner pageantry. Chumpcar is a lot better in that respect, still has the ultra low price ceiling but far fewer shenanigans. They also have a much lower tolerance for people who can't drive, so there's a place for each. I have always and probably will always prefer events that involve not just "oh yeah that might pass inspection in Florida" cars but real street cars. I don't like what sits between that and wheel-to-wheel as much because it falls victim to the wallet contest as so many of these things do. The hillclimb event I attend is like that, no slicks allowed, no dedicated race cars. That's what Pike's Peak is for

We decided to check out the last big Pistonheads meet of the year. Saw a very clean RS2 on the way over   The event was hosted by Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge, which is quite possibly the most interesting Mercedes anything in the world. AMG Mercs lined up to run the course:      The carpark was huge and filled with some rare beasts:

Linedance posted:I stopped taking pictures after a while because once you've seen 10 Astons... The beater Aston, the street parked R8, the Turbo some guy clearly gives no gently caress about, that's London in a nutshell. I live by Chelsea Harbour where we get to hear all the footballers roaring past in their cars. The latest set is a Gallardo LP560 which sounds glorious, and a blacked out SLS with straight pipes that sounds less than. Hell that unreleased Aston I posted a few pages back was in the Sainsbury's carpark

Here were a few interesting ones around town lately, I haven't taken any of the exotics in a while. Legit:    I had no idea AMG made Diesels, I actually thought this was just someone adding badges until I learned otherwise.  I think this was Laguna Seca blue, I'm bummed I couldn't get a better picture of it.

DVLA check says it's a '73, but that's all it says about it other than the engine being the correct size for the RS, 2.7l. It had some Historic Sports Car Club badges on it, for what it's worth.
