Quote from Crashgate3 :[...]although it's getting a lot better with modern teaching aids which tend to avoid them and use the phonemes instead.

Honestly, when I went to 1st grade school (being 7 years old) I found it utterly stupid when our teacher started to pronounce every consonant of the alphabet with the phoneme sound. It sounded like spitting or coughing and nobody ever used it before, so I found it pretty strange.

My Civic Coupe EJ6 - Now lowered on MeisterR Zeta R Coilovers.



Wow, wouldn't have guessed that Civics have independent rear suspension. Nicely looking car by the way.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :never knew they used 4 zylinder engines some time...
also, interesting how they used 12 cylinder ones for quite some time now theyre back at 8.

4 cylinder and V6 engines were used in the turbo era.

Don't really get why, because an E30 or E34 Touring has completely different looking rear lights, from up front surely you would notice the missing kidneys and double round headlights.

Quote from ACCAkut :a green TVR Chimaera drove past me today, first TVR I ever saw in real life. Was on dutch plates I think.

Oddly enough I've seen the first TVR in my life too, only for a blink of the eye. Was a matte black Cerbera I guess, sounded like a 6 cylinder.

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :herrafrush BMW

This is not a BMW, it's a Benz W124.

Quote from Specht77 :dunno if it's just me, but it appears that it's just raining right infront of the camera...

The further away rain is the more it looks like fog so from about 100 m distance on it should get a little more foggy. Also it would help would he have used different sizes of rain drops for different distances.

Edit: Actually I once had a go at a rain edit, in fact I messed around with it again just before posting this.

Unfortunatly the great magician will most likely not reveal his hidden tricks and tweaks so we probably never get to know. But - sorry - just keep having that debate for a little while.

Edit: Oh and by the way personally I don't think a GT race car fits polished wheels and 5 kg of clear lacquer.

Quote from hrtburnout :Shotglass drives an MR2 turbo.

Don't really know but I figured because he had a 'rocco as a profile picture.

Quote from Shotglass :i guess the issue is they never got over the trauma of being thrown into the world and try to crawl back into a vag as often as possible

Aren't you actually driving a 2nd generation Scirocco?

Quote from skiper :does not always cause the camera to photograph the blurred wheels
depends on the shutter speed, and vehicle speed.

agrees with the windows.

I just wanted to show that for blurring the background, parts of the car should not be blurred

If I look at this picture I understand it as the camera would be traveling next to the object (car), same speed same direction. The camera is set up to capture a static car and a blurred/moving background, so why the hell would the wheels not necessarily have to appear blurred/spinning in the shot?

Also, who said parts of the car should be blurred when blurring the background? That's just a newcomers mistake.

Quote from Taavi(EST) :Bleh

Looks pretty nice, but what a shame the windscreen is not reflecting anything there on that bright shiny day.

I don't think it's located in the English country side though, as "Blackwood" translates to "Schwarzwald" in German, which is an actual place/area in South West Germany.

Edit: lulz, it can't be coincidence?

Quote from G!NhO :True, but still very cool to leave a sls amg behind you in a polo.

I'd like to see some proof for that story...

Quote from G!NhO :Jup, completely polished, incl the gearbox.

The red one has a 5cyl 1.8 bi-turbo with 600hp

Do you have a picture of that red ones engine bay? Because I'd like to know how they fit a 5 cylinder engine into a Polo. I'm also curious about how they got the displacement down to 1,8 litres, as the smalles VAG 5 cylinder I know of was a 1,9L with a carburator... so with 2 valves per cylinder only.

Are you sure they didn't tell you something about a 1.8L 20V four banger?

I have to agree that's very nice. I don't like the "glowing lights" thing but overall that edit is good quality. Finally something fresh.

Quote from J@tko :You guys don't have speed camera warning signs?!?! :O

Although to be fair here they have to put them anywhere there are speedcameras, and anywhere there could be a mobile site, so maybe 80% of the time you see a sign, there isn't one

Well around here in Germany it's state of the art to make money with that. A few years ago our city declared they had a loss of "income" by speed cameras/lasers so they built about 4 new cameras and dropped the speed limit in these places by 10 km/h.

Also as part of my apprenticeship I'm visiting a school together with about 700 other people at a time. Approximatly 2/3 people come there by car. Last year they changed the speed limit in a nearby street from 50 to 30, a week later they lasered me going 44...


Oh and G!NhO, you probably missed that thread.

Quote from Dennis93 :Hit a curb which had a sleeping police man on top, next thing i know is I'm in a stretcher.

I'm a bit confused, were those pictures taken during the same season? Because I don't think someone with a racing suit full of Ford logos would be driving a car sponsored by Scania (owned by VW).

Quote from Töki (HUN) :You're talking about wheels, while I was talking about the badges. Not the same.

Okay.. try to read this nice and slow:

For example there are Volkswagen cars that have Mercedes Benz wheels fit. So even though they are "cheap" VWs they wear precious Benz shoes, simply because their owners like them or their owners want the car to look luxurious. Either way most of these people will not bother to take the Mercedes badges off because other people that are into cars will know where they are from anyways.

Now our friend "G!NhO" makes fun of that occurance. He sticks a BMW badge on the wheels, that are already unmistakably labeled as being Ronal. You may also consider this as a pun at the recent large BMW prevalence in this thread.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :No. No matter what badge you put on it, it's still just a VW. A badge won't make it any better.

Quote from bmwe30m3 :[...]

BMW Badges on rims that are under VW, is like buying a Apple phone, and putting a android sticker on it...

[...]

Many styled cars of whatever make have wheels from Porsche or Mercedes Benz or whatever.
Did it come up your minds that he's more likely making fun of just that? Even more so because the wheels (too "sceney" though) say "Turbo" with the Jetta having a 1.8 N/A engine...
