Since the theme of the day is all Nürburgring photos (those damn photobombing Adams!):

Bonus (I knew there would be a good reason to put this sticker on like that, perfectly straight):

Have you seen the picture featuring you (because of the shirt) that I created out of two others yesterday?

Wow, that MR2 almost looks like a 959 as you’re trying to discern it through the text

It was a busy day and the track had been closed a few times within the last few hours. So it was very full. Besides, we had 15+ cars so it made sense to park somewhere with space.

Check the shirt on the left.

Yes, saw it this morning, but was running late so I didn’t reply. Perfect picture :) #alternativefacts
Really nice photoshop by the way

Well the donor photo was taken at the same angle with similar lighting just a few meters away. That helped. You can see the RX8 and MX-5 in both photos.

I hope it has to do with the Miata and the rx8 and not the ring haha, because it’s simply the best place on earth! :)

I guess the word “reliability” combined with a wrench, both in white, isn’t as easily read in the picture as it is in real life.

Haaa, no I’m in bed with my phone, couldn’t read it :)

What was the rx8's problem?

I edited the print on your shirt (just the colors). Flavien didn’t spot the wrench and the word “reliability”, which was the whole point. I hope you have no issue with me photoshopping you :)

It was thirsty for all kinds of fluids.

It’s a rotary thing, Flavien must get it :)

No probs, can you take a few pounds off while you’re at it? JK
But this weekend really made me miss my rotary, that Adam would have had more trouble getting me I think

Does an RX8 handle that much better? The Peugeot is, on paper, at least as fast in a straight line.

It may only be subjective, but the RX-8 just feels right, and faster. I really have no way to compare them objectively

Oh wait, I have:

Ok, so the Mazda objectively isn’t that much faster, but I may have pushed it a bit more if I “felt” it better? Does this phrasing make sense?
