Lime Rock Vintage Festival

[drewwtms]

So, Mini Magic did you get up close and personal with BMW's F1 GTR at Lime Rock this past weekend?

I was there on Sunday and took a few pictures. Nothing great as it was unceremoniously parked in the back of a tent. I'll post one or two anyway.

i did! it was awesome, i didn't get too many good pics but i did get a few nice ones when they were trying to move an m1 into the tent behind and they had to move the v12 lmr and the mclaren and as they were moving the lmr i got a few good shots of the mac with noting in front of it. It was so much fun. Did turner motorsport have a booth thing there, i looked out for u guys but i didn't see it. BTW, you may have seen me i was wearing a lime green shirt with cargo shorts and nike sneakers. but yeah, it was awesome

No booth but I did drive down one of the M3s that we have here. It's a 2001 with about 380hp. I was only there for Sunday's car show.

yeah, i forgot to tell you, i went down on sunday, i sold the New Found Glory tix and went down for bimmerfest, that was cool. What color was the M3. BTW, did you see the carbon fibre e36, about 80% was clear coat carbon fibre, it was awsome, even tho i saw it at the local allentown import xpression show.

CoOL. I'm new to the whole Mclaren F1 craze...
Does anyone have a few good Mclaren Wallpapers to share? I've checked out www.highresautoimages.com but their selection isn't that great for the F1 road car.

I assume you mean the black car...

3.2-liter, S70/2 camshafts, 24lb fuel injectors, larger mass air sensor, cold-airbox, headers-resonator pipes-muffler, pullies, and a ton of dyno-tuned software work to tie it all together. It's not a ton of work on paper but the car has been used with every imaginable upgrade except forced induction and the current specs make the best horsepower. In the BMW world his car is pretty tricked out.
