Post Your Daily Encounter Pics Here

Couple of boring white repmobiles in convoy on the M6 earlier this week. If you can't tell from the terrible photo, an Aventador roadster and a GTR :cool:.

potato camera strikes again xD hehe bet there were some nice sounds coming from those!!! :D

got a few pics to chuck up from the past few weeks but have to just remember to upload them to somewhere :p

this morning though.... wow.... talk about unique, there was a 3-wheeler (1 wheel at the back) that had quite a curved/rounded body to it that almost seemed like one piece and was does in a sorta odd, possibly wood grain, rusty colour scheme.

had a few building stood round it trying to make sense of it. I was hammering it to work so didn't get a chance to pull over for a cheeky snap.....should have had the dashcam app on my phone running :p
 
That looks like stock bodywork with the lowers painted to "match" and some kind of vinyl bits stuck on above the exhausts.

I don't like it at all!

They're going for the reverse R8 look /innit/ :d

I saw my first 4 series today, a 425i. From afar it actually looks properly nice and meaty. Can imagine what the M4 looks like on the road if the normal M Sport looks like this.

The thing I don't like about new BMWs is that the M Sports have M badges on the wings:

Saw an F10 with the same the other day also in recession white and honestly thought the owner had stuck them on because that's how out of place they look there :/
 
The new S is incredible. I don't like the black wheels on that one, but its got the right engine:D

And I agree about the m badging on the wings of modern bmw's, they look naff.

A few iPhone photos from the 'ring at the start of April.

One of MANY GT3 RSs (there were even two genuine GT2 RSs there (of which only 500 have been made, but I didn't get any shots) :(

Quite a few of these there on the day...

...but this particular one made the most incredible noise, partially thanks to the four tail pipes that I assume originally formed part of the Trans-Alaska pipeline system.

Finally, a lovely little Z3 M

The black bit is there to protect the paint.

Likely has an after market exhaust which can cause the white paint to become yellow due to what comes out the exhaust, the black won't discolor.

Looks like crap though, especially in white and with the painted lowers, protect it with clear film if you must.

I had a full de cat on mine and never had an issue keeping the rear clean from soot, good protection after washing it and the soot would just wipe off with a wash mitt.
 
Helping out at the Stoke Poges Fete with a bunch of other Pistonhead drivers. There was about 20 cars there altogether - several TVR's, Porsche carrera GT, the Aston, a GTR, Evo and Scooby and my favourite, a bright orange Dodge Challenger. That thing is HUGE!
