Midday pic after a few sessions at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois.

Fred, where in Michigan are you? I'm near Novi.

I'm in the Royal Oak area, so not that far away from you

Sunrise Orange is pretty cool too

happyjack · 08-23-2021, 02:42 PM

took a bit of a scenic drive after my break-in service this morning...

The M2 road you want in Muskoka is Regional Road 13 that goes south from Torrance almost all the way to Washago. You just have to be careful as there are no shoulders and there can be cyclists you come up behind very quickly.

Enjoy

Yep, that road was part of the trip

However, the first half of that road was in pretty rough shape. Lots of ruts, cracked pavement, and potholes in the road; so it was a little nerve racking in the rain. Second half of that road was pretty awesome though, seems like that portion was re-paved recently!

Beautiful pic. I see now how a clean SOM should look. 😛

Mine is so dirty as it hasn't been washed since end of May.

p27rpy · 08-28-2021, 07:26 PM

A few more at sunset a month or so ago. Love how dynamic this color can be! Sidenote - that muffler's gotta go

CanadianComp · 09-06-2021, 05:10 PM

Nice Drive in the mountains. Unfortunately my passenger was a little hungover so I had to walk a fine line between enjoying the twisties but not so much that I had a mess to clean up afterwards

Ratcher · 09-07-2021, 02:23 PM

Yet another pic at car heaven

happyjack · 09-16-2021, 08:03 AM

came out of the grocery store to find another orange lover nearby. i appreciated that he left a one space opening between us.

it's interesting to see -- at least to my (completely biased) eye -- that our M2Cs have much more depth of color...

Ratcher · 09-17-2021, 01:09 PM

I still prefer Valencia Orange from the 1M by a looot. Sunset Orange is great, but dies a lot when there's no source of light.
100% my fav colour on the M2C regardless

not sure i would say it "dies a lot"...so much as "looks ominously bad ass"

(thanks to shottyB for providing some recent, relevant evidence!)

@happyjack We don't need to like the same thing. But I, as an M2 SO owner myself, don't see what's particularly nice in that picture you just shared. Bein honest and not trying to sound like an idiot

SOM2C · 09-28-2021, 05:59 AM

Just picked up my dream car a couple weeks ago. I'm absolutely in love. Don't mind the M stickers on the side… those are now removed!

it's all good.

what's that old punchline? "it's like my grandfather told me, if everyone liked the same thing, then everyone would be trying to f@$k your grandmother."

Sunset Orange, Hockenheim Silver, and Long Beach Blue all change shades based on the time of day.

An infinite numbers of colors. All great!
