I've seen one in polished aluminium.

This is one of those cars where the color really doesn't matter. The one I saw is a track-day car, and the polished aluminium body is just a lighter alternative to painting it, and honestly, it didn't stand out from the crowd at all.

10th May there's a sports-car event taking place, where owner show off their cars. If it shows up I can snap some pictures for you, so you know how it looks.

I look foward to seeing them Freddie! Thank you :thumbup:

Has any tryed Chroming it? Or Gold Plating it?

There was a guy in Las Vegas Nevada that Chrome plated a Mercedes a year or so back. It was so shiny, that it blinded traffic and caused an accident. A hand full of people sued the owner for a sum of around 5 million and won the case. Judge ruled that it was in poor taste that a car would be finished in Chrome, knowing the affect it would have in direct sunlight.

No offence to americans, But all they do is Sue.

Like there was someone saying on "eBaums World" forums, "Ebaum was making a video and I walked in the background, he didnt ask if I could put myself on it, Can I sue him?"

And the reply was "Im guessing your american, so yes."

:laugh:

You know were they got the idea to sue? An exact same case in the UK. I will agree with you that many Americans are sue happy though. The worse case was when a robber broke into a families home and broke his back falling on their kitchen table. HE sued the family and some how WON his case. Ridiculous.

Turns out it is not quite as polished aluminium (chrome/mirror-reflective) as I remember it. It's still a good deal more reflective than the other unpainted cars that were there, though, and the carbonfibre contrasts look good on it.

Oh yeah, and while I had a good view of the area, I snapped this:

Well I think mine are more awesome than any car, but i haven't read the whole thread yet. My actual dreamride is the Russian built Mi-24 attack helicopter.

But if realism is flexable then the Panzercycle.

And now a real motorcycle I think it might be based on.

Well I had a 1993 Opel Astra GLm with the 1.4 litre 4-cylinder engine, until the engine died in April 2009.Well, it still kept running, but not too good. Leaking cooling water all over.

My first car, 60 HP, 5-door hatchback and good optical condition (only a little rust)

I'm driving a 5-door 2009 Opel Corsa D-type 1.2 litre 16V since mid may. It has 80 HP and altough being just under 4 metres long enough room for my skis. And enough for new LEGO Sets.
