Got passed in the rain..

Sounded nice.

taking pictures in the rain on a twisty road

it was straight where he passed me. I was able to hold him off all the way down a pretty crazy mountain pass.

Guess i'm just used to driving a manual car with no power steering that is extremely skatey in the rain lol :chef:i generally try and leave the camera alone while driving though

i used to drive mountain roads in the mustang, take video, shift, and steer, all at the same time.

l337

Noooice

Reminds me of the Subary driver who managed to hold me off for half of a mountain descent. Mind you, she was cutting to the wrong side around blind corners and I could have actually driven around the outside of her if I'd thought for a second that she wouldn't slam into the side of me.

But she wasn't in a Forrester and I wasn't in an R8 and the mountains are a lot smaller here. And it wasn't wet, come to think of it.

There is that whole 'she' part though that you seem to be overlooking.

There's a couple of those around Edmonton. Great looking cars in person. Apparently one of the owners uses his as a daily driver (according to the Audi salesman I talked to ), took it down to Calgary in the dead of winter.

not using one of those as a daily car when you'd have one would be lunacy.

the correct thing to do is rapi it on a daily basis, just to fuck that VW piece of shit up.

the only thing i hate about the r8 is the big black panel/doors on the side.

i used to despise the r8.

i don't mind it so much now, though.

yeah. i don't get that. otherwise i dig it.

i have a great picture of a totaled R8, but i'll have to dig through my HD, because i don't know where i saved it.

Ask Ascona, he'll find it for ya

haha i don't believe it was ever posted at either AF.

it was a white R8 that hit a tree and was nearly unrecognizable, save for the hatch over the engine.

which brings me to a question. what is that called? i can't be a trunk lid, since it's the engine bay. deck lid? reverse bonnet? engine hatch? metallic and glass hydraulically assisted engine umbrella?

If Wikipedia is anything to go by, the lid that covers the engine is the "hood" and the the cargo area is the "trunk," regardless of where on the car it is.

if that's your idea of twisty i feel sorry for you.

R8s are getting pretty common here, still dont think id want one. The base model seems abit bland and who the fuck wants a diesel supercar? Have you heard the R10?

you should we have no hills, and few turns.l

Seriously, this is FLORIDA.

The hills near Gainesville are as about as close as we get and those are more like gentle slopes.

Seriously, I get excited over railroad tracks at this point

have you ever gone down 301 through zephyrhills, there are some huge hills there but, no turns, and the old people drive so slow you cant catch any hang time

your lives suck.

and i'm sorry to hear bout the curved roads, too.

there are some decent curved roads around here
