Nice pic! Looks like a clubsport by the sidemarker, mirror and red/black interior.

Definitely not scabzzzz because he has a grey interior. Probably not Panzer because he had different wheels.

That rear corner does look a little odd, but depending on the shocks/springs he's running it's entirely possible for the rear wheel to tuck under that much under load. I get almost that much with mine at autox sometimes.

Nice pic of the ti in action! I wish I can one day slay the dragon in person. Can't put the finger on the member's name.
