awful isn't it!

Yeah, the front starts off looking pretty OK then it gets worse as you see the Z3 windscreen and doors, but the rear is absolutely appalling.

That might belong to a someone formally of this parish...

Said person formerly of this parish could also make love to me but it won’t change the aesthetics of the Senna.

Spill

- I was hoping someone else would remember the user name.

Had a 360 in JPS Livery - I think he might have had a SL65 around the same time Exiges had his CL65

We're going way back now

Lemmy, but what's your logic that it's his!

Lemmy - that's it,

I wasn't being completely serious Speedingfine... It's just he wasn't short of a bob or two and had a penchant for applying JPS livery to cars with no connection to JPS livery

Correct, but the 360 was a 430 Scud.

Yeah, that's right - it was a 430, wasn't it.

That is indeed going back a while!

Did Lemmy do a bit of a flounce?

I think someone was suggesting the vast majority of Ferrari owners were poser wankers but that didn't match his, you know, real world experience. So indeed, he left. Bit of a loss he had some insane cars (his Radical was my fave)

An MR2:



He was doing his best to convince though, had loads of mags featuring the GTO on the passenger seat

(I think the shade of pink is my camera's fault)

i thought it was the lack of fun car use on here. People weren't doing track days and were growing up and having to buy people carriers.

Can’t be many of these about - Spotted on my walk to a site this morning.

Hadn’t seen these alloys before…. nice speedholes, but as per comments on there - bet they are a TAUC to keep clean.

Actually they’re pretty easy to do with as a wheel brush will reach all spots.

The worst wheels are those which have deep spokes close to each other which means you need something like a fine paintbrush to reach them, and then they also make doing the barrels a faff.
The next worst thing is some wheels which have a deep strengthening V groove cut just behind the face of the wheel. That’s a finger job.

They look wonderful. The guys at my local hand carwash would have them clean in a jiffy. No bother!

They are having a weird effect on me.

I like the design looking straight onto the face of the wheel, and i very much like the detail shots, but when zoomed back viewing them on the car at a 3/4 angle the final result seems to be somehow less than the sum of the parts visually. I can’t quite explain it as I am not sure I understand why myself.
