Show Us Your Motors!

I assume you're being facetious, but really what is problem? Surely it can't be driven like this for tyre wear (let alone pain over going over bumps), or am I missing something very obvious?

yeah its on airride, it can be raised up when driving/over bumps etc :) this is just parked height for the looks alone. There's a huge scene all around the world for slammed/modified cars.. including Honda Odyssey clubs etc in japan slamming these on the ground.

Ah interesting. I have air suspension in my Tesla but certainly doesn't go that far down! So is it an optical illusion that the wheel looks bent in (if that is the right phrase?) On the back axel? So when it's driven it just looks normal?

Yup, raised up the camber corrects it self. This doesn't have any camber etc arms it's simply the angle the suspension takes when lowered.
 
Correct. You’ve just corrected your own post :cry: Hydraulic fluid for the force ratio and air to give the compressibility you need in suspension. Clue is in the name.


I might put some air in my tyres later but I’ve realised they are special pneumatic tyres ;)

What else do you have? :)

Right now I have a Tesla S which was my "sensible" purchase as I was being a gypsy. I also have a 911 4S which is frankly too sensible and honestly regret not keeping my old 981 which was significantly more fun especially in a country where speed is v limited.. I purchased a california t to try and be a jack of all trades, but got rid of nearly immediately as it just didn't vibe with it.

Next year I'm getting rid of the 911 for a Lexus LC 500 convertible to scratch itch and for comfort and then getting the ferrari I should have got originally.

(Not going to lie also tempted by new mustang just to try out as it's cheap and iconic but not sure I want hassle of reselling).

I'm super lucky in that I have managed to purchase an amazing place recently that will hold some nice cars so can do it properly from now on. As per other thread, I'm going to make sure I can keep some degree of anonymity and then will be doing a thread of upcoming stuff.

Oh right, I said pneumatic not hydraulic, my bad. Brain not engaged. :p
 
Washed it but it got dark before I could dry it so just left it. Camera has gone all potato because of low light but at least it is clean for the first time in a month.

Roll on BST!

Chris Harris also referred to it in his recent podcast as a pound land Porsche GT3 touring which I guess I will take as praise :p.

New car for going to the shops in.




2016 981 Boxster S. 28K miles. GT Silver.

Pretty close to unicorn spec (sorry about acronyms):

PSE
PASM
PDLS
PDK
Bose
Sports Chrono
Extended leather
Sport seat plus (heated)
PCM with CarPlay retrofit
GTS rear lights
Climate control
Folding mirrors


It’s immensely anti social with PSE, and I bloody love it. 6 cylinders of normally aspirated filth.

They finally got the design right with that model, resolved the ugly rear end.
