Spotted by a friend earlier just cruising through town.



Plate used to be on an Ultraviolet GT3 RS. Must be someone on here?

They've cleverly made the wing so tall that it almost doesn't look like part of the car anymore from some angles.

Appreciate it is the RS, but certainly makes something like a 997 GT3 look incredibly classy and understated by contrast.

Think of it as a mobile advertising hoarding.

I mean its not rocket science is it. But every know and then someone tries to gatekeep things, mostly due to failing to READ the title of the thread laugh
Failing to READ?

What you actually mean is: Correctly reading the title of the thread and comprehending it using the accepted rules of English grammar and then failing to understand that the OP and many others don't understand the accepted rules of English grammar and like it the way it is.

It might not be rocket science, but it's not correct or logical either.

Will this ever stop? Please for love of all our sanity, just deal with it.
This isn’t an English A-Level exam, it’s a world-wide car forum. Nobody wins a prize for the best understanding or use of the King’s and getting the most virtual “F- (see me)” red pen or whatever fancy colour teachers use now to bk 10 year olds.

This thread was fked from the start, having been given an ambiguous title.
Miraculously it is now on it’s 7th Volume due to the interesting variety of stuff that people post up.
(Although at least 2 volumes are probably accounted for by people arguing about what the thread is for. hehe)

For that reason I’d stay well away from the thread called THE BEST ///M/BARGE/GENERAL RANT/LOOK AT THIS/O/T .

Another long-runner who’s title I’ve never been able to decipher at all.

No, but it's an object lesson in what happens when it's used incorrectly.

Wouldn't it be easier to delete all the posts that don't adhere to it?

But there’s no actual consequence so, really, who cares.

Unlike this one, which cost the US a fair bit. (Also, quite topical)

“For this error, we have to go all the way back to 1872, when the US government began placing tariffs on imports to boost its revenues. One of the items meant to be taxed was fruit. However, due to a punctuation error, fruit imports were deemed tax exempt for a short period.

The tariff act stated that "fruit, plants" were tax exempt. Merchants (correctly) interpreted this to mean that all fruit and plants should not be taxed. What was intended by the government, however, was that plants for growing fruit were exempt”.

Has anyone defined "some" and how many rarities may be posted? Or is that "some" as in only specific rarities?

The thread title is ambiguous and left as an exercise for the reader. Nobody should be surprised that people see what they want to see.

Not actually for show at all but a crucial part of aero making the RS as mentally rapid as it is.

Wonder how much time a GT3 RS spends on the track where that extreme aero will have any benefit and where the driver is good enough to use it. On the road it looks daft.
