that was involved in this year's gumball 3000, and the graphics are all from that... and rumour has it that this little sucker had a full cloaking device on his toy so that he didn't get caught by the rozzers... jammers, detectors, everything, you name it he had it in terms of preventing himself getting caught...

does a cop really need radar/laser to tell that your doing 150mph+? :D
i guess detectors would help, but jammers seems pointless...

To get you for speeding and to do instant fine then they need the evidence of a recognised speed detection system - radar or laser. Jam them and there's little they can do IMMEDIATELY.
UK has an old vascar system which times both vehicles - yours nad theirs - between two known points. DTo do this they need to keep you in visual range for the duration fo the test, so pretty obvious it's happening to you :D

Of course they can stop you and then try to do you for "dangerous driving" but proof is still required to make it stick.

For the next Bond car: An upgrade to the target seeking shotguns so that they automatically detect speed traps and fixed cameras and do their worst. :D

They are, but you can easily remove them and put the stock ones back on.

No. My pics are spread all over UCP already.

Proper ALPINE BLUE :D

This one is up for sale if anyone wanted it. It has been breathed on and now is lowered, stiffer and putting out more power. Not sure how much rumours of 300-350.

The SLR is ruined with that paint job. :mad:
The Alpine looks are embellished. ;)

That Alpine looks utterly disgusting. Matra go get a few of your big scottish biker mates and kick his ass!

Its not a paint job, its some stickers.

All of the supercars on the Gumball had stickers.

Its called "sponsorship", not "rice".

Its still more tasteful than what they usually have to put on.
