Just look at Mach V Motorsport's car, they're running the same wheels if I'm not mistaken.

because he's trying to promote his website. the more clicks he gets, the more money he can get.

And because he already has TWO other threads in the journals sub forum.

for the record, there is no pay for click on a personal blogspot blog. (unless I am missing something) As for having multiple threads, I guess I didn't look closely enough that folks only have 1. Makes sense to consolidate. I'll do that moving forward. Can mods do that for me?

Yeah, I am trying to drive traffic to my blog as I'm trying to get it off the ground. But I also thought I was delivering content that people actually could use.

Fwiw, I had the nose off the car last night taking a bunch of measurements and photos. They'll be posted soon.

Matt

He sure as hell is not doing it for the money. What is so wrong with promoting ones own blog? He has a FB page too, want the link?



"Matt Andrews and Fair Enough Competition in the NItto Tires Mazda MX-5 clinch the 2009 Redline Time Attack Mod-RWD championship. Back to back titles in 2008/2009."




"Andrew Brilliants 1997 Eclipse GST Spyder Piloted by Matt Andrews at Willow Springs"




"This is the history of Andrew Brilliant's Time Attack Eclipse. Limited FF back to back champions, holds numerous records including Buttonwillow CW13, Willow Springs and more. Fastest FWD FF car in the US on treaded tires. Driven by Matt Andrews on Nitto Tires."

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUn4J1n5QGU"]Competition GT / Boost Logic Supra Willow Springs - YouTube[/ame]

"Curtis Chen's 95 Time Attack Street Supra

Matt Andrews Driving."

etc. etc.


Attacking valuable members of the community that can provide you with excellent feedback and information on going faster and potentially improving your car is no bueno. If you do not like their posts, simply ignore them.

I'm sure any of those blues will look nice, but I love the black wheel, white car look.
