That red EM1 was very nice! I remember from two or so years ago, long before time attacks were even a thought in someone's head.

I'm with you there, bud. I think it's fad-tastic, and quite annoying. Do they look alright? I guess, but it's not something I'm pining over.

i think rotas especially rota slips are way over played so i would look into something different but hey go for whatever fits your tastes and budget

Its Rallye Red. I dont mean to copy but i really like the way freddy's car looks with the white desmonds...since i cant afford them i thought id get the knock offs. I also thought about rota grids (copy of Volk TE-37's) but i really like the look of white on red.
