RV048 looks interesting...

Yea, I don't think that modification at the front is anything to do with the air conditioning

A couple of old pics I came across - like this profile shot:


Taken at a very cool place in France, Mt. St. Michel:

Cool - did you buy some gallettes?

The views from Mt. St. Michel are amazing.

Some of the roads in southern Normandy are quite nice but the best bit about driving in France is that the main routes are well surfaced and lightly used in my experience. Makes this country feel very small and crowded!

Weather is better in Southern France though

No I did not buy galettes

I agree with you on the views - amazing. And if we think they are
amazing now, just imagine what they must have seemed like 500 years ago!

Great looking car, out of interest why have two smaller s/c vs one, space issue?

[AcidReflux]

Your fog lights seem to be stuck on - perhaps you have a short in the wiring somewhere?

Why does that matter, it goes into a shared plenum.

The design of this kit (bracket, layout, etc.) originates from Rotrex.
I am not sure why they decided to go with two blowers, maybe they did
not have big enough blowers at the time to use just one.

There are several vendors that offer single SC solutions - then they are
"top mounted" (ESS, Discovery Automotive for example).

PS. AcidReflux - the fogs are on just for people like you.

You seem to like driving sideways. Or is the BMW unable to go straight?

Nice engine upgrade, exterior is nice too. I would only replace those wheels.
