nice pictures,, and nice car.. m3 cab rite? M cars are :wanker: :wanker:

[TransAm]

M3 cabriolet, yeah, one of my friends (in some of the pics)

I dunno that I would agree they are :wanker: cars though, that's a bit harsh :x

There were 3 of us travelling to the show, I have an S2000, my other mate has a Boxster, and the M3 (my other buddy's car) was of course the car we took as the other two are only 2 seaters :wink:

[a007apl]

:P

[TransAm]

:P to you too! :roll: :lol:

[manta]

great pics... some nice cars!!



i wanna know something...
I saw a lot of cars in usa, with a black "suit" like the one on the mustang (or the impala ^^) on the right...
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4276/auto005.th.jpg

what is this? why put this weird stuff on a car??

[TransAm]

They call it a 'bra'

It is to protect the front of the car from stone chips...I think they look a bit gay, personally I find that by leaving a safe distance* from the car in front you avoid rock chips anyway.

*everyone drives up eachothers ass here :roll: :lol: (this happens in France also so you probably know what I mean, or maybe it's just because I have only driven UK-registered cars in France and it happened to me a lot because most French don't really care for the Brits being in their way on the roads :lol: :wink: )

[manta]

okay... but that is such frustrating to see something like that on a car as a C06... really, it's definitely awful...

[TransAm]

3M (peopel that make post-it notes) make clear bras which is like a layer of see-thru plastic, they look ok, you can hardly tell they are fitted as it's like putting a clear sticker on the car.

The France comment wasn't meant to offend, by the way! :D

I can safelly say that no matter how far you travel from the guy in front, you'll get chips. Besides, you will never drive slower than a truck so you've lost in that situation. I tried driving as far as I could from everyone, and reduced speed while overtaking slow cars so that I wouldnt get chips, its just inevitable. Only way would be a "clear bra" which is a clear tape that goes over the front of your car.

[TransAm]

^ yeah, I think that's a fair statement, you can guarantee MORE chips by driving up other peoples butts though!

[manta]

well, it could be because of the bad quality of you're roads...

i mean, i'd never seen it before, in any country of europa... italia, germany, england, spain, switzerland....... no bra on the cars... it's crazy, this thing have a really restricted distribution area... crazy ^^

and it's better for us, we can shot beautiful cars with no bra on the front.... ^^

[stmoritzer]

Liked the Police car and the Lambos most :mrgreen:

Thanks TransAm for the report
