I have no intentions to fish for compliments.

As much as I'd love to correct you, you're right. Nur Spec is a nickname for an OE option overseas.

Personally, although not the direction I'd go, I think in some ways it looks good with the right additional mods. If you want a big wing, I can think of none that look better.


All we know is.... He's called The Stig

Not a big wing until you need to bolt it onto the undercarriage and run extra braces up top!

Yeah, in all seriousness, what is that about?? I thought I was tolerant of other people's taste in mods.

I just don't even understand that one.

My recollection is that Harley riders first started calling sportbikes Rice Burners. It was this website that made the terms "riceboy" and "ricer" become used more universally:

To the OP's original question, I see them all the time. They sometimes blat at me or do their silly little "flybys". But, AFAIC, what's the point of "racing" a FWD car?

Yep it started with bikes because they came over before the cars really started to. Didn't take long to apply across the bard to all Japanese vehicles though.

Does Bond know we have his new car? Better install the ejection seats and 20mm machine guns behind the headlights.
