Photo of your car you took today

Not a great photo, but here is my 2007 lined up yesterday at the start of the Pensacola Beach (FL) Veterans Day Parade.

England? Germany? France? Nope. Middle Tennessee. Enjoyed the 70 degree weather, drove by Castle Gwynn near Arrington, Tn. They host a renaissance festival every weekend in May. I've been able to put on over 2500 miles since the end of July! Having a blast with this fun little car.

Enjoying some mild weather in November with a drive to Bell Buckle, TN. You can have some fun at their famous (maybe locally famous) RC Cola and Moon Pie festival in June.

My daughter just came home from Pittsburgh for the first time since I've had the Birkin. With the weather being so nice out yesterday, she was dying to take it for a drive, and who am I to say no? Her daily is a MKVII GTI and she's done track days, so she's an experienced driver, but she said she felt like she was learning to drive all over again in the Birkin. We even ran by the grocery store to pick up some things for Thanksgiving- such a practical car! 

 

 

Edit: Not sure why the one pic wants to post upside down? My daughter didn't flip the car! 😅

I forgot I did this, but saw it last night while testing my fuel pump -- the rollbar light goes red/green for the month of December, in "running" mode.  Brakes/Turn are still the normal colors.

Looks fantastic! Are those CaterLEDS or something different?

 

I'd love to do that with mine if they are, my wife would love it. 

[Austin David]

Thanks!  I made them, it's about 50 LEDs and a microcontroller in the boot.  It's BRIGHT, with active brake/turn.  The signalling is wired in to the corner lamps, and powered separately.  The MCU is wifi-aware and will sync time when it's near my house.  If you're serious I can write up a parts list.  I have extras of a lot of it.  The power draw is low enough it could run directly off the rain lamp or tail lights.

I've got the CaterLEDs that work a treat. They're mega bright as well and plugged right into the taillight connector and the LED tailights now piggyback off that connector. It's really well thought out.

 

Would be cool to be able to change the colors of the individual lights. I should ask them what they used to program the lights.

 

Why do you need to sync time?

I don't -- it's just an accidental feature of having something that will try to connect to wifi, without interfering with normal "brakelight" operation.  I don't really need the wifi either, but it doesn't hurt anything and makes it a lot easier to manage without popping open a box in my trunk.

Been a cold, snowy December here in CT... but Friday's rain washed most of the salt off  the roads and was in the 40s today, sooooo...

Stopped for a pic next to Santa's sleigh on the Rams Pasture. The ground was snow covered and kids were playing hockey on the pond up until the 55 degree rains came.

Local 7 buddy and I have the inverse of each other's paint schemes, so it's always fun to park next to each other...

Now that is pretty cool right there...

I don't care you are,  that right there is pretty cool.

Just bought an r400 that I will keep in the original livery but am playing around with my 98 HPC, I have two nose cones and the one in yellow and this one...  I have a Caterham badge coming that will be in the flames....

Saw @UglyFast because his in-laws are down the street...
