Ok i know its not a super car but its special, and the fact that i am sure they still dont sell it brand new until october I think.

But this morning i saw the new BMW M3 V8. in dark blue colour. I thought i was imagining, but it was it had the signature quad exhaust pipes, the power bulge on the bonnet, the funky M alloys and the M side vent thing what ever its called. I know its a real M3 is cuz 1) a middle age guy was driving it and 2) he turned into the BMW head office in mlugrave.

sorry no pics was in traffic :-(

I know Poite - sorry.

The Zonda is a true work of art. Absolutely amazing car - albeit a bit quiet down the straight.

Was an eventful day - it seems that walls hurt no matter how expensive or rare the car is.

Other exotics in attendance were... 996 GT2, 996 GT3 RS, 360 CS, 360 Challenge racecar, Elfin Streamliner, plenty of other Porkas and an old 355 Challenge.

We had the Atom, Exige and Evo out today - from all accounts the Atom causes a bit of brown underpants early on, but then as the excitement builds and confidence increases - your sphincter tightens and sucks the brown back up again. A true wonder of science!

:huh:

Events O'Neill track day - www.eventsoneill.com

We invite all our members and other keen contacts to come along. Non-timed, with top instructors - they are good events.

Always some great cars there.

Kev is running a similar one on Sept 8th - there's a thread in Events.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
