Four wheels, good power to weight ratios, canyon roads, and sexy bodies

 
 By: ThomasM : January 6th, 2018-09:35
So the answer for us yesterday was four wheels - Lamborghini, Porsche, and Alfa Romeo. Life in LaLaLand ...  

Weather looks okay !

Power to weight ratio seems more than average I'll have the Lambo please or the non-turbo P-car if there is one Seeing the bikers in leather gear i guess it's not rally hot either Bim

Weather was a little too warm for my taste - had to run AC

The Huracan was loud and raucous but beautiful from every angle (like the 4C); the Cayman S was well driven and ...well, like a perfectly balanced P-car. 😁 most of the year the weather is not too hot for leathers.

Is it a well known road for having fun?

I remember several videos on youtube and the environment look alike. I guess no speed trap there 😎😎😎😎 4C for me

In malibu on Mulholland Highway on a section called The Snake

Quite a famous driving and riding road. Alternates between heavy law enforcement presence and light, but riders and drivers watch out for each other - helmet taps. Come and visit! I'LL bring the 4c...

Hopefully, one day i'll come to visit LaLaLand [nt]

Please let us know! [nt]

Looks like a great day.

And if someone is offering, I’ll go with the Lambo.

It was, and the Lambo owner is a very nice guy.

 
 By: ThomasM : January 6th, 2018-12:29
If you come and visit I'm sure a ride can be arranged, maybe even more...

If I am in LA, I will arrange my own ride.

Like my β€˜91 Wrangler. Hahaha

Lol [nt]

Looking like a great time!

As I believe you are well qualified to pass judgement, how does the 4C work in comparison? The car magazine reviews were not particularly complimentary about it, so interested to hear the opinion of an owner instead And if I already asked you that - forgi... 

Alfa Romeo 4c vs Lotus

 
 By: ThomasM : January 6th, 2018-12:23
Hi, KMII, The Alfa is classic Italian - lots of personality (some would say temperamental, others a PITA) I personally love it - one must fight it, love it, always respect it, learn to trust it, and ultimately find peace with it because one will never tam... 

Surely both helpful and interesting :)

 
 By: KMII : January 6th, 2018-12:31
Allow me one question as a follow up - you say you have no interest in Lexus and Audi. I assume we’re talking sedans, not sports cars? Either way, what would bind you more instead? Thanks a lot for the quick summary on the 4C!

Lexus and Audi - I have LOTS of respect for their tech and QC but

 
 By: ThomasM : January 6th, 2018-12:43
Even their performance models leave me cold...I remember something a hard core track rat friend told me, comparing his BMW superbike vs his Aprilia / Ducati: take the BMW to the track, race, go home and put it away. No urge to keep riding. The Aprilia and... 

Fully understand your reasoning...

 
 By: KMII : January 6th, 2018-13:49
My question is which brands - and I know thatβ€˜s a problematic category today - on the whole represent the Ducati category for you, rather than the BMW motorcycle in the car sphere? I can guess that Lamborghini is one and Alfa might be another. Any others?... 

NA; hydraulic power steering (if power assisted at all...)

Dear KMII, I'm an analogue man trapped in an increasingly digital world. (Of course that digitalization is a hoax but a hoax that more and more analogue humans believe...) Early digital music reproduction literally gave me a headache; today I tolerate it.... 

Thanks for elaborating further :)

 
 By: KMII : January 7th, 2018-00:22
I fully follow that. Nice selection for sure!

Very welcome [nt]

Close, very close, but ultimately cold:

Cruising. It looked nice from behind.

Thank you dr T

 
 By: dedestexhes : January 6th, 2018-12:51
the Alfa, my target this year. Drove, loved and hated it, so it generates emotions for a moderate budget. Just what I need. Cheers, Dirk

Exactly. Looking forward to reading about yours.

A familiar sight. Amazing scenery, cool ride and great people.
