Ricer.. as in **** who adds adjournments to their car usually a Honda, in the mistaken belief it’ll go faster.. such as shopping list stickers, tea tray spoilers, silly rasping exhaust box etc. The car can be referred to as having been riced. 

 

Technically Jays car hasn’t been riced except for the rising sun roof sticker. We use it as a term of endearment, ne wind up lol.. “here comes Ricer Jay in his poop box ricer..” usually said quite loudly so he can hear..

 

 

 

We have a few down here...you can hear them before you see them...and they usually come out at night.....

Sorry photography not one of my talents.   Snaps taken on a Nikon KeyMission 80.

your composition is ok by me...for these shots i usually say...why did you take them...the answer is emotional and not photographic..

cheers

geof

I take them so that i can compare the weather week / month / season each year on year and compare & the locations are also being modified by hard landscaping,

& also to send to my partner as she works far far away while i just go play on my bike.
