Excellent.

Too bad I was curious and read the rest of that thread. :banghead: :shakehead

Let's get over it, the world is filled with morons :grinyes:

I just went and read it--like slowing down as you drive past an accidet! There's some serious ignorance, rudeness, and immaturity on that board. I can't believe one guy lives in the same area and does not know who Larry Ellison is, what Oracle is, or where it's located. And the slanging matches...legendary. It is funny how they referred to the guy who was driving it though. Their obsession with JDM is also quite something!

I think a lot of them just don't realize that wheel design is nearly 15 years old now. I have an old account there and was thinking about adding my .02¢ to the discussion to help educate them, but I'm not sure if I will have the time.

I think a lot of them just don't realize that wheel design is nearly 15 years old now.I think that a lot of them don't realize that wheels don't have to be 22" in diameter, chromed, and have spinners on them to look good. I will say that the 5 spoke OZ wheels on the LM and GTRs look a bit better than the stock wheels, but again, many of the people there are probably ricers. Their general perspective is of huge non-functioning wings, Transformer-like body kits that are left unpainted, and ugly clear taillights, 5" dual exhausts on a 4 cyl engine, and countless stickers.

According to the replies in that post, the Mclaren is still currently being built by BMW, has a top speed of 220 mph, has a Bose audio system, cheap "stocker" rims, needs 22" wheels, and aftermarket Lamborghini doors. Amazing.

FYI, there are more pictures on the third page.

Do you have the original pic of your avatar? I don't recognise it

I believe the image in his avatar is a shot of a diecast actually. In fact I may have the original.

Your eye and memory are amazing. Yes, it is a model shot I got off the forum here and I spent 5 mins in Photoshop.

LOL - thanks man - I do my best and having a photographic memory helps immensely.

Actually the thing that gives it away as being a diecast is the steep vertical angle of the rear airfoil. They don't get that high on a real F1.

Here's the shot:

Just remembered something else from that board...someone posted that the F1 is the brainchild of Bruce McLaren (who died in 1970, I believe)!

I wonder if they also think Enzo Ferrari was behind the Ferrari Enzo.

Yeah, all the comments about the rims were interesting...because to them the F1 needs to be lowered and riced out :screwy:
They like these wheels, & they call the F1's ugly...:

:lol:

the wheel on the top right was used on sports cars in the 70's-80's. They are similar to the ones used on some porsches and ferrari dinos

I think I remember seeing a similar wheel to that one on a Lamborghini Miura.

Yep

I happen to love that particular wheel. It's made by Mugen for older Hondas and I think it looks great on this CRX:

I wasn't knocking those wheels, although it looks like it to some. I was just using them as an example, to compare their style to the McLaren's.

Everyone is allowed an opinion, so its fine if you were. I was just saying... ;)
