Top two today.

Maybe I should put this under the "What are you doing right now?" thread. Been watching Martin Brundle's gridwalks on YouTube. Here's a couple:

Monza 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LShoRYe2ZGQ&feature=g-vrec

Singapore 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNUAi0Oadpw&feature=related

There's tons more. Sometimes Martin's gridwalk is more interesting than the race!

McLaren X1 Concept. Best looking car ever made. Maybe not.

New BMW Zagato Roadster

[image]

How do you make a car as stylish as the BMW Zagato Coupe even better? Chop off the roof, of course. The new BMW Zagato Roadster ($TBA), is, like its predecessor, based on the Z4, and features a similarly upgraded body and interior, including 19-inch light-alloy wheels, an exclusive gray exterior paint finish, brown, leather-wrapped roll bars inspired by airplane design, and a more elegant tail end. Unfortunately, it shares something else with its stablemate \ it's not for sale.

Not bad, but the front end is way too busy for my taste... Seems like today's designs overemphasize the front end. :sweat:

They just take the McLaren design and turn it around and put the back at the front. :hehe:
