As stated, powder metal machines are highly expensive for now, ( the price of a Lambo ) and the resolution of the 'net shape' is still not at the point where secondary finishing operations are not required. You still need a fair amount of milling, turning, sanding / polishing as many of these parts have tiny ridges all over them. So they need to be smoothed out or surface finished. Then you need to get plating/coating done ( chrome, or black oxide, priming/painting etc ). They are also quite slow at this stage and difficult to amortize (ROI) The plastic fiber machines have all the same issues as above but are much less expensive but they only handle filament style thermoplastics which are not all that strong. Neat technology but years away from the quality of a 3D copier or replicator.

Belgium ups security at nuclear plants following Brussels bombings Security has been stepped up at nuclear plants around Belgium amid fears they could be the next target after the Brussels attacks. The alert follows the discovery of secret footage of a senior Belgian nuclear official, in the Belgian flat of one of the suspects linked to the Paris terror attacks. It’s understood to have contained dozens of hours of covert footage of an unnamed director of the Belgian nuclear research and developement programme. Increased security measures include more surveillance and the checking of vehicles by police and the army. Non-essential staff at the Doel and Tihange plants have been sent home although key staff will remain in order to ensure the plants continue to operate. This is because there are concerns that vetting procedures of staff may not be sufficiently rigorous. It is understood that one of the accused in the Sharia4Belgium trial in Antwerp who is currently fighting in Syria had been a a technician at the Doel plant for three years. http://www.liveleak.com/ll_embed?f=76975f31ed28

Thanks all. I know the suspense waiting for a new toy like this. Truly nice car to drive. I will try to get it to VIR in the coming months but I don't want to kill the thing. Congrats on your new GT when it gets there and good luck with it.

Just picked up my Agate Grey 2016 GT4. CCB's and CF bucket seat. Just awesome little car.

G'damn Pin Dicks : (

Just like Lotus weight savings are all important. Gas shocks, one or two are pretty actually heavy. Considering they thinned the glass, then taking shock out is a big thing.

Too late, I already called Dibs when he got it Haaaaa : )

Hey Guys, I just picked up a McLaren 12C recently. Interesting car indeed. Titanium Silver, leather, CF everywhere much of it MSO. CCB's Inconel Sports exhaust, Super Lightweight 650S wheels, Fabspeed Sport Cats(+39HP), Engine & tranny upgrade (P13 software 616HP ). Iris 2 infotainment & nav. Car has a CF Revzport HS style nose, CF side blades, Air Brake and 650S door blades, CF diffuser mirrors and exhaust surrounds. PO kept many of the CF dash parts for his new 650S so I have just ordered all new ones.

Hi Kevin, Is this the coupe. It's my buddy Joe's car and its awesome. Cameo by Hovik ; )

Awesome sight and sound Roy. Looks like fun : )

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Roy will be seeing it soon, and we shall see what he can do next.

What Roy said !!! This is why I am sending my 6.0 to Roy this week. He is fast becoming the authority and main reference source on this market.

Having owned both the 2008 and 2011 SL's Everything these guys say is true. It's really hard to break'em.

Congrats, the car looks awesome. Enjoy in good health : )

I believe its exactly the same as the Lotus Elise / Exige air bags : )

Viola Ophelia 6.0, Now the only one left undamaged and unmolested in the USA. Originally only 2 were made but the other was damaged by a delivery driver for Missy Elliot the rap artist. There is only one other which is in the UK.

I don't know anything about this car or its value, but I do know of two deals done in the last 60 days that were in the $165k and $175 respectively ( 99 SV and a 6.0 ) Both were done by LP inmates on this board. I have seen one car getting flipped overnight at a huge profit. Prices are climbing slowly and many people are holding onto the Diablo's.
