It's only almost too late! :birthday: :hi: :D

Happy birthday Helmy! :D (remember I wished it first)

Hope you've had a good day :)

Happy birthday m8, hope you've had a good day :)
 

I came here to post that same McLaren video

First rim :)
 
 

 
 

Finish but need to fix and match gears.
 

 

 

Entry post....
 

1982 De Tomaso Deauville Series 2 :eek: The Jaguar XJ's sexy italian twin....
 




 
- 5.8 litre V8
- Quad pipes
- Gorgeous interior
- Only 244 ever produced, this is one of just 7 that were made for the UK market
- They did 2 armoured Deauvilles, amazing
- This one can be yours for £79,950, but it's had its engine rebuilt and been fully restored for £150k (I never trust restoration costs though)
 
De Tomaso Deauville 5.8 V8 Best Example! For Sale (1982) on Car And Classic UK [C828395]
 
It's a lot of money, for such a rare car that people will not really recognise or lust after. But wow :hmmm: If I had started a collection I'd definitely want this in it.

@BeSweeet - Massive map isn't everything, just look at Fuel :P

Wasn't in the TDU1 beta, but I did get into the beta for TDU2 and despite nobody was laughing it was one of the biggest jokes ever.

And that's the problem of the internet, some see it as bluntness while others don't see it wrong. Difference of characters, can't be solved on the web without adding bumping up the smiley limit of forums.
 
And on that note, here's a new note: Lexus RC F GT3 :D
 
 

Not even this?
 

I checked the Porsche UK configurator thing just yesterday to see if the new GTS was on it :p damn, you beat me to it :hmmm:
 



 
With the new darkened B pillar roll bar thing this really looks amazing, it has to be one of the best daily driver type vehicles available to buy if not the best. I want it so so so much in the spec i've just shown.

Mr Softie, your Japanese correspondent here. (apparently)
 
The new Lexus LS:
 

All-new 3.5 L twin-turbo V6 engine producing 415bhp/310kW and 600Nm of torque.
10-speed automatic transmission. It is a torque converter automatic, yet with shift times that rival those of dual-clutch transmissions.
0-62mph acceleration time of 4.5 seconds
Built on Lexus’s new global architecture for luxury vehicles, an extended version of the rear-wheel drive GA-L platform that also underpins the new LC luxury coupe.
The GA-L platform is the stiffest in Lexus’s history, setting the stage for improved handling, ride smoothness and cabin quietness.
Lexus engineers used lightweight materials, including ultra-high-tensile steel and aluminium, to carve more than 90kg from the weight of the current LS’s platform and body. (It's still a boat though, come on)

I quite like the front (it's not for everybody) but I think that ass is ugly. And apparently so do Lexus, since this was the best photo available...

I saw it on Autoblog.nl, they got the numbers from Reuters (some international press agency). I got the exact smart and AMG numbers from the investor relations summary which is online as a PDF. The other brands is a combination of the same Reuters article, the dutch Autoblog article and Volvo's numbers by googling.

True, but the R-Design SWB Tiguan is pretty nice for a small crossover thing imo. It's not where my money would go, but I do like them.
