I think you may be incorrect on that one. All the ones I saw that he had over the line were of a pepper white not the m7 car. Good way to tell (other than the m7 car is so much brighter white) is that the headlight trim is painted body color and not chrome....

 

You guys need to calm down, the times you should be worried about people going over the line is when they are entering the blind corners. There are lots of times where as you exit some corners you could see that there is noone coming for the next three corners so you could creep over a little bit to set up the next entry.

But if its at the blind part of the corner then yeah, you better be on your side of the line.

 

This car?

That is very much not the M7 car.

I would look for more but the pics aren't available at this second.


And I somewhat agree with what is above. People are freaking out about line crossing when they have no idea how far the person can see in front of them. I, of course, think the double yellow should never be crossed but not everyone is a perfect driver. Some people drive the Dragon for the first time and don't get the hang of it immediately. And I know from driving it quite a few times that there are places where you can clearly see anything coming at you for a good bit. But other people not being perfect drivers is why you have to not only be aware of yourself but of others. On my Sunday run, there was at least one truck that was far over the line, some people just do not know how to drive and don't get it. (though I did notice on the other thread that someone just mentioned passing over a double yellow in a turn and damn.... that is WRONG and there is no excuse for that)

 

Alright, let's keep this the "pics, pics and more pics of MOTD" thread and not the "witch hunt" thread.

 

Ok, now thats a really bad place to be crossing the double line.... I don't remember any of the Killboy photo corners being able to see the exit that early. At that point your just asking for trouble. Its scary how a car will pop out next to you out of nowhere....

 

ew turner...finally found a pic of my car...kinda
It's awesome!
Me checkmating Chris' (Juicedmini06) car.

hahah coming from the guy who told me that "sometimes it was necessary on the dragon" when i asked him why his car was over the yellows in some of the pics in past years

 

Hahaha, nice.

 

Never said it was necessary. I said I was being stupid.

 

Below find a nice selection of nice vanity plates as seen at MOTD 4.

 

Found this one of me in Driving_Hamster's gallery. I might just have to frame this! Thanks!

The Panorama I did while waiting for the "official" panorama to be shot can be seen by clicking here. The picture has been deleted from NAM because of complaints that it was too big.

whoa! big and beautiful! Love the ghosts, too...

 

FYI -- here are the technical details on my homebrew Panoramic picture:

• Camera: Canon 20D, shooting RAW
• Lens: Canon EFS 10-22 mm @ 17mm
• RAW Conversion to JPEG: RawShooter Pro, 13 frames processed identically
• JPEG - Panoramic stitching: Panorama Factory running in automatic mode.

Obviously, I was at ground level, and I was directly below the location of the "official" camera. Camera was hand-held, without tripod (which is probably the reason for the "hump" in the center.

Whoaaa!!

Dude you might want to resize your signature picture for future posts!

Ohh and you might want to link to your picture because its making reading this thread impossible....

 

ahhhhhh!!! finally! someone got a picture of my Grimace. Thats him... see that wheel & painted arch on the left side of the pic?? Thats my baby. He was parked next to Ryephile's pictured MCS.

 

Look who Crashed the Party..


LOL, I really thought you guys would not miss one more red MINI.

 

I have a (full size: 2592px by 1944px) high-resolution version of this in my smugmug gallery. If you need help finding it let me know.

 

I've been posting all my pictures in this thread

Second batch in same thread

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t=67942&page=3

More pics are coming....

 

Guess which one of those I got to jump in to get it started again, because the driver had never before got a push start?

I'm showing my youth here...

But push starts still work? I thought that was just something hippies did with 70's & 80's vehicles...

*dons flame suit of innocence*

*pokes head out of flame suit of innocence and yells* 1700 posts in 11 months, FTW!

*duck and cover*

 

I think this may be you

Edit I need to figure out the picture thing.

 

I guess so!

Hippies???

See page 137 of your manual

Of course, you dont need a tow truck, just a bunch of strong friends!

If the battery is dead though, you better drive straight to the MINI dealer!

 

Push starts pretty much work on all manual cars if only the battery is run down. Be sure the ignition is on, put it in second gear, step on the clutch, let friends or strangers push you, pop the clutch and off you go.

Simple as that.

But I guess it helps that I look like a hippie .

I've got it, that's where I found it first. Thanks again!
