That is what is supposed to happen on the Autobahn, as far as I know, although I have only been living in Germany for about half a year now. I was driving through Austria and they had signs on the highways saying if emergency vehicles needed to get through that they are to use the middle of the left most lane and the…

I personally can't say I hear a drastic difference in the videos, nor did I when standing a few metres from turn 4 at the Sachsenring race this year. It does make sense though, and they could also have it tied to the traction control system pretty easily. If they are using some type of cylinder deactivation, it makes…

I was at the Nürburgring 2 days ago and before the tourist driving, watched some of the industry testing going on. There was a seriously fast new Civic with a huge wing and tons of camo lapping among some other interesting stuff. I'm sure it was this car, it only makes sense.

Possibly dumb but necessary question: how does one get posts on Oppo now? I was at the Nürburgring yesterday for a BMW event and am trying to do some cool stuff while I am here in Germany. I want to share it with some people if I can. Posted to my "kinja blog" thing, where Oppo is listed as a follower, but it doesn't…

I love twin central round exhausts like that. And sounding that good is just a bonus. If I would have the money to get an F-Type, I would seriously want the V6's exhaust, but also the V8's power. Can we get those exhausts on more cars please? The Mini Cooper S and older VW Golf R32's just don't have the same appeal as…

Thanks! To be honest I had tried to put a different post up a few weeks ago and gave up when the pictures refused to load, hence the other blog site. I'll give it another shot.

It is really cool to see these cars. I was just at the Porsche Museum, where the footage of the cars on display was taken, last week. Great atmosphere and it was not busy even though I went on a public holiday.

I'll be heading to Germany to work for Schaeffler for a year, starting this summer. I knew they sponsor a DTM team, but on the phone they told me they are also sponsoring this LeMans Porsche. Checked to make sure, and there is their logo on the endplate of the rear wing. They mentioned tickets to watch DTM, but I'll…

How much do you think it can tow?

I was just about to post the same, but with silver examples of both, when I thought to check the additional comments. Beat me by 6 minutes :)

I'd like to see the nose sloped low, leaving not much frontal grille area. Not legal for reasons of cutting people's legs off and such when they get in the way, but that doesn't matter on a render. Would be a nice change from the huge flat fronts we get a lot of now.

If we're including one-off factory M cars that are hidden away, I would have to request the E46 M3 Wagon/Touring be added to the list.

Nice pictures there, and a you're a fellow Canadian on here, cool.

No problem. Shoei really makes some nice motorcycle helmets. The materials and finish are top notch at reasonable prices. I've been extremely happy with mine, and plan to stay with the brand when I need to replace it. The shape fits my head shape really well. Can't say I've ever used mine in my car though.

That's actually a Shoei Qwest, not an X12. The X12 does not have the shiny plastic parts around the chin and forehead vents like the Qwest does. I ride with an RF1100 on the road and my buddy has the Qwest, both of us have the matte black colour.

Sounded like JF and Matt Farah at the end, maybe filming something for/Drive at the same time as this was going on?

This looks like one of the closest 4 wheeled equivalents to supermoto racing on bikes. Maybe this along with rally cross anyway.

I think we are supposed to be so beaten up by our journey on a sailboat that we don't notice.

Ah the G, even better, heavier and shorter as well!

That's why they changed the name to M4
