Default Gisele Loves a Shower!

Gisele just loves to get wet! However... Lar needs to remember that the curbs get wet long before the tarmac does!

Ummm... love the smell of fresh mown grass. Keep the shiny side up, folks!

Lar is just being modest.. you should all know that his was trying the new yoko slicks in the rain for the group of people that bought them; a pioneer in every respect. : )

I can't watch the video right now since my computer at work is really slow.

I see why you named her Gisele, mine is named Adriana

Great vid, thx for sharing! Loss of traction looked instantaneous as soon as you touched the white paint. Do you think the rear weight bias contributed to the spin...would you have been able to save it in your M3 for example?
