Is that the parking lot of a Moe's somewhere just outside of Orlando? Seems like a long shot but I have a STRONG feeling that I've been there before.

Not to scare anyone, but this is not photoshopped. The pic is simply level with the rear tires and deck on a tractor trailer... Be careful out there. I had one of these shift into my lane a few days ago and then hit the horn at ME. Probably never saw me and thought I cut in on his lane. I don't think he would have even felt a thing had he hit me.

You're correct that 99.7% of Americans wouldn't have a clue. But this list has LOTS of Anglophiliac motorheads.

Did you photoshop away the badges, or does it really have none on the back?

i absolutely love the aninimity of the cosworth here in the US. no one has any idea what it is, nor do they care. gt3guru said it but alot of people think that it is a 318ti with a body kit.

i took off the badges on the back to further confuse the American motoring public... at least those that even notice

I'm getting a garage space but don't have it yet. Fortunately, there have been no problems parking here in my neighborhood. People seem to give it a wide berth, perhaps out of respect, perhaps out of financial responsibility.
