But, it was my understanding that the wheels were designed as directional to aid in cooling the brakes, which won't work if the left is on the right & vice versa.

Nice berger. I like how the SVX seems to take on the color of the water. I like the first one best, but the last one looks like it came out of a sales flyer.

They certainly do appear to look that way, but functionally I think they're probably pretty useless. I'm not aware of any car that uses wheel design to cool the brakes. (Which doesn't mean they don't exist.) Some race cars use scoops, but that's all I've ever seen. If the SVX spokes were intended to move air, then I've got them on the right way, as the shape of the airfoil of each spoke would function best rotating the direction I have them mounted. Even then, the airfoil shape is a very poor profile for moving air and probably not very effective. Moreover, the more air the wheels move, the greater the drag. I would think fuel economy might factor in more heavily than keeping the brakes cool in the minds of the designers.

I've seen several pictures (attached) of prototype SVXs being tested with the wheels on backwards. Personally, I like them that way, and that's the most important reason I can come up with.

SVX + Sunset = Good

I would add these pictures directly into the post if I knew how. Could someone tell me?

Anyways, on to the goods...

To insert a picture into the post, the image must be on the internet somewhere. Some people use somebody else's picture stored on someone else's server, and other people upload their own pictures. Many people upload the picture to their locker. The downside is that if the picture is moved, the post will no longer show the picture, so be mindful of that when you decided to insert pictures. If you attach them, they will always be available.

The way to insert a picture is to use the image tags.
[img]image URL[/img]

The image URL would be something like http://www.coolSVXpictures.com/coolpicture.jpg


svxwannabee, the last picture you attached is rather well composed. Photographers don't call sunset and sunrise the 'golden hour' because of the color of the sky. The ambient lighting is the best for taking pictures during those hours. It's hard to say without being there, but it looks like the sky was a bit overcast and/or your pictures were taken in the darker part of the golden hour, thus the pastel colors. A clear sky during the brighter part of the golden hour will give you a wider spectrum of light and will yield brighter colors. In my attachment I enhanced the colors for fun, but I think I prefer the more subdued coloring of the original.
