+3, awesome shot. I believe that one really depicts the true DY, the shot with the 3 Musketeers on the road is just way too bright of a yellow IMO (and the VO looks brownish). And those Euro lights fit like a dream! Looks like great times for you boyz!

Ditto.

Yummy as vanilla pudding with some black chocolate topping. You almost wanna bite in it.

We all know that it's the only 1M worldwide in Dakar Yellow. Probably it's also the only one in the US with EU spec blinkers/hazards.

Well yes an no. There is only one color that Odin decided was unfit for human imperfection. And unfortunately he made his decision well before the 1M was a reality.


And congrats on the award. It must feel pretty sweet!

It is NOT a wrap, thats a full CF roof replacement and full repaint. There is a thread fully detailing that portion of the build.

Read that thread carefully. I'm on page 2, ahead of you.

Whooosh! That is the sound of humor missing your head entirely.

Small question about the Las Vegas heat.

Any difference experienced inside AW, BSM or VO when you returned to your 1Ms ? AW should resist the heat best, BSM worst. Or is there virtually no difference ?

We didnt have a BSM there.

I do have one observation on this though.

The yellow 1M with dark tinted windows sat all day (5-6hrs, 9 or 10 am to 3pm) in the sun with the windows closed. When the windows were lowered to show the interior for judging we felt a rush of very warm air just escape from the car. It was dramatic.

My VO with no tint sat out there for only about 3 hours (noon to 3pm) with the windows sealed and although it was warm getting into the car it was not unbearable or "hot". An AW sat next to mine for the same amount of time, that car has light tint but I didnt check to see the heat difference there.

It hasn't gotten to the hallacious summer temperatures here in ATL yet, but my BSM is definitely 'warm' after 3-4 hours in direct sunlight with the ambient temperatures between 75-85. I usually feel the need to hit the 'MAX' button on the A/C for a few minutes.

I have 45% SunTek carbon Nano tint all around and 85% in the windscreen, but will probably need to get a sunshade within the next couple of months.

"How much hotter is a black car than a white car in the sun ?"
http://www.tom-morrow-land.com/tests/cartemp/index.htm
"Executive Summary: The glass temperature (which I assume to be a proxy for interior temperature) varied only 5 to 6 degrees between the black and white cars on average. So I conclude that the interior temperature only varied somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 to 6 degrees. The paint temperature, however, varied by about 55 degrees, which is ten times as much. So it is indeed true that black paint is much hotter than white paint, but the interior of the black car isn't that much warmer than the white car."


"Car Colors For Hot Climates - Dark Cars or Light Cars: Does it Make a Difference ?"
http://phoenix.about.com/od/car/qt/carcolor.htm

"Vehicle Cabin Temperatures Survey"
"The tests showed a consistent difference between temperatures in light coloured vehicles and dark coloured vehicles."
