Went to one of the world's biggest cars and coffees.
I like the headlights on your Audi. (A6? Or S6? Or am I completely wrong? :D) I'm assuming they're aftermarket - they look like they're based on the LED pattern in the R8.

@Astroboy2215 you must be the first person I've heard of who likes the new shape Mirage. Even for a basic car the reviews have utterly canned it. Then again, they didn't like the 2009-2014 Suzuki Alto that much either and I love that little thing. Plus, owner reviews love the Alto. Couldn't find a cheaper car to run.

I reckon that Mirage would look great with an Evolution X front end though, like the Colt it replaced. That was a beasty looking little car.

I agree the Colt was a really good looking little car, and I truly don't mind the look of the new style. There is a image I saw that I really wouldn't mind getting the car to at some point, granted it would take a while lol. Honestly to me, it's comfortable, it actually handles not too bad (it does have quite a bit of body roll however that's expected) my next thing is definitely to address the suspension and get mudflaps. Oh and here is the hopeful future look of it (won't be for a few years XD)

A6 4.2. It has the wider fenders like he S6 and RS6.
 
Lucky guess on my part! Ever considered getting a splitter on the front bumper to match those canards?
It already has a Cupra R front splitter. It's just hard to see because of the shadows. Anything bigger would put me out of my Autocross class.
 
Does anyone here own any supercar, hypercar? Wonder if the mods know anyone.

I consider a first gen Viper a supercar. Dangerous as all hell and willing to take your head off the first chance it gets.

@MoparGTS is the user



@Davis has a Ferrari, a Lotus and a couple of other oldies but goodies He definitely counts.

I'm sure there's more (?).

Did you install those, did it come like this from factory, or is it a higher trim?




Sorry about the double post.

It's factory, same chassis as the S6/RS6. Same basic engine as the S6 too.
 
Manual, premium & cold weather packages! Ground Control race coilovers, Borla exhaust, short shifter, CSL brakes, 61k miles, it's perfect in my opinion.

Did you get the subframe looked over?

Some guy in Europe is creating a reinforcement kit. It might be worth a read. http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=551862


I washed and waxed the car. Wheels are back to silver now after being a bit too orange.

Too many non Japanese cars lately, I gotta change that! Luckily Mir the Miata Slayer can fix that!

Man, I'm still nervous about posting my license plate on the internet. Good thing everyone except me hates the MR-S lol.
I can help with the lack of Japanese cars in this thread...in around an hour from now. :lol:
 
On my drive to school, I pass through a pretty historic Houston street. The first one is the inspiration for one of the GPS-located Snapchat filters. The second one is just really cool to me.

The wall is, of course, about 12ft high and that right portion of it extending out of frame is about 40ft long. The entire building is graffiti.

And here's one from Cars and Coffee yesterday. Absolutely insane how big this show was. I only made my way through about half of the allocated parking spots, which means there was in excess of 350 cars, if not 400. I only managed to take one picture of my car when it was all said and done with, but as i was leaving i heard a couple people notice my license plate and I made it clear shortly after it was also manual.

Yeah, the dealer said it was in perfect shape! Although the past 1000 miles I've put on it haven't been over the best roads, and while I do my best to swerve around as many potholes as I can, I do want to reinforce it.

From what I have read, that will be the most complete solution for the problem.

Unfortunately, the issue can also affect my car. I'm hoping it doesn't happen anytime soon.
 
Of course birds did their thing again so did a quick spray and a little bit of polishing to get those 'poo stains' out..

Then grabbed the bike and washed off all the insects

Took a drive and ended up in the city watching the sundown

When suddenly a wild Bulgarian appears asking me if he can sit on my bike for a photo

I'm really dating myself here, but I was working for a company in Basel Switzerland in the mid to late 90s and I think it was in the fall of 1996, they sent me and another colleague to the satellite office in Spijkenisse for a week. But my hotel was in Rotterdam and I remember I had a view of the Erasmus bridge. It was just shortly after it was officially opened. Good memories. 👍
