I'll try to remember to take some pics after my weekend runs and autox events.

But to be honest, there's not much to see after a hard run. For example this past weekend I hit 130, and except for some bug stains and some dust, afterwards you wouldn't be able to tell that I was cruising at high speeds by looking at the car.

Do you want some tire-smoking pics? If I happen to do a drift in an autox event in the future and have a pic of it, I'll post it here.

No breakdust if you only cruise at high speed - best to get brake dust is to get in stop-and-go traffic and no engine break at all - driving around in muddy places may help as well.
I think you may find little candidates doing this to the brand new car.

Here's one after a trip around the Brecon Beacons in Wales; pretty dirty I guess.

My avatar illustrates what happens in my car. Below is a pic of what it looks like before doing a mid 13 sec. pass. It looks the same way afterwards.

Nice try shiny but your rims look too clean - obviously not enough hard braking.

How does the sheep rader work ?

Come on Znod,

The car has to be clean and served before the race - I'm looking for pics after!

A gent is a gent, but the lady looks most sexy after - just after.

You need to the hear it ticking...

This is my car after a 200 km. Sunday drive at speeds up to 210 km/h. It was spotless before I ventured out.
