Bad re-paint...haven`t noticed till now...:o I dunno...:cheeky: My vote is for Mike for all his hard work. I saw most of the projects he wanted to do and all the time he spent to make it simple but great.:)

I don`t think that thinking about such things can be called strange. Everyone is unique and have his own thinking, dreams, fears, manias...;) Don`t worry, just don`t think about crashing a CCXR into a tree. :p

Glad to hear that someone finally agrees with me...:lol:

Just a thing. The rules say that the sigs must not be bigger than 500x130. Resize it please.;)

I made such thread some months ago...and yeah, it`s useless. You don`t feel special when it`s among the others. It`s nicer to have an own thread. ;)

Wassup dawg, :welcome: to the hood. You down? :D

Very nice idea and very nicely done by the admins and mods. :)

Geneva Preview: Aston Martin DBS Volante the ultimate in alfresco 12-cylinder motoring Thanks to the embargo-breaking crew at World Car Fans, we can finally give up the details on the 2009 Aston Martin DBS Volante. The drop-top version of Bond's uber-Aston features a fabric roof that can be retracted in 14 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph and supposedly looks just as good with the top up as the top down. Motivation is provided by the same 6.0-liter V12 found in the standard DBS, putting out 510 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque to a rear-mounted six-speed manual or "Touchtronic" sequential gearbox. The run to 62 mph is dispatched in a scant 4.3 seconds on its way to a top speed of 191 mph. Aston says it was able to keep the weight down (the DBS Volante tips the scales at 3,990 pounds) through the use of a lightweight roof mechanism, along with a carbon fiber hood, front splitter and trunk lid. The standard carbon ceramic brakes – pulled directly from the fixed-roof DBS – reduce unsprung weight at all four corners and provide the neck-punishing stopping power you'd expect. We'll get our first look of the DBS Volante at the Geneva Motor Show next week, but in the meantime, get all the details in the press release below the fold.

I`m afraid I have no proof. The TG site doesn`t have that article...the article is in TG Bulgaria magazine. They are already sold to the SLR owners and already in production but not finished. So it`s not just a show-off concept. ;) I can take a pic of the article if you want.

Not too hard on him. He`s new. ;) Just tell him he made a mistake. And in fact, Mb has a new Automotive photos thread, and he haven`t updated it recently...:(

They are already in production...all of them are bought by SLR owners. Read it in TG magazine.;)

Car Freak... Jealousy +10 Droolage +100000000

Nice thinking. :)

Some very nice shots there. Good find. +rep ;)

Amazing shot, Speedy. :) And Loz, your pic is 300x800. Resize it to 640 max. ;)

Very nice, it`s very hard between CMM and Dragozool. I`ll see CMM`s final entry before deciding but great competition. ;)

:birthday: Shy Girleh. :D Hope you had a good one.

I only watched the first vid till the Soulja Boy song. Wanna keep it a secret, so it`ll be more interesting. :)

Looks promising. :)

Looks like a good fun. But not dedicated as TDU, more like Crashday or Flatout. When you want to crash some metal and burn some rubber. :)

Nice shots, Gunned. :) Love the green colour. ;)

Brilliant stuff, Iced. +rep ;)

Top Gear test track, just for fun. :)

Really nice, Diablo. Thanks for keeping us up to date. :)
