The Spyker C8 Spyder looks very uncomfortable to drive if your not a midget. The window line would very much annoy me while driving.

Damn that car is small. I've loved this car ever since I first saw it on GT4.

shifts EXACTLY the same way you use any other gear lever. you just hold down the clutch and shift it into place. its just a fancy little trick that they have in making the gearbox look bare..

^^ ah, I see it now. the bottom of the shifter is connected to a rod that is connected to the tranny I guess. At first it looked like the shifter went all the way to the console.

Looks like it was a good time. Some sick cars.

The lotus's were new I think. I just haven't put mine on yet, saves me about $7 a day on the toll road


+ I'm waiting for my personalized plates. But I'm not sure if i'll put those on right away either

Hehe...


crazy huh? They were even impressed w/ my car and my driving (the lotus guys flipped out that I was hanging w/ them up the mountain, they all tripped out when we got to the top.


It was fun just having the GT3, M3 and elise w/ me down the mountain. The M3 definately couldn't keep up. When i was 2nd in line behind the elise I was on his ass the whole time w/ the gt3 a little behind (not sure how hard luis was pushing then). after that I was 3rd and right w/ the elise and GT3, and the M3 lost ground fast.

At one point I was ahead of them all and they made a turn behind me, I somehow managed to turn around, lose about 5 minutes and still catch up

^ Nice. Sounds like a fun day.

I'm still confused about the plate thing though. Doesn't CHP pull you over if you don't have plates?

Nah, they just assume it's a new car.


We don't have temporary plates out here, we just put our registration fromt he dealership in the front passenger corner of our windshield.


You can see it here:
