Funny thing is that lambo is also a tractor builder
I also remember seeing an amazing SUV a long time ago... yeah I am that old...
Hello AT!
They had a black Lambo SUV at the Concorso Italiano, and it's a cool car! Let me see where my pics are of it. Interesting thing is that the door hinges were mounted on the outside of the car, weird huh? -MW
Love the unique Ferrari!
Hahaha.. Never seen such a fluffy n cute Ferrari. Even a Dino is not fluffy ! Thanks for your previous post with yellow Dino n interesting num ber plate! Sorry for late response, I was away. Cheers,Linda
Hello LCDW!
Glad you liked that 'unique' Ferrari! Hope you had a good vacation and will share your pics with the rest of us! -MW
Are you sure? (",)
Hi Ming, Guarantee you will feel like dropping all on hands and fly to Bali right away! Superb weather and superb food. Superb sea and beach and sun and ...... LoL Ok do wait for few days as currently my memory cards are in process. I definitely will keep...
I heard....
Hello Linda! I heard Bali is beautiful and would really like to see your pics when you get a chance to process your pics. Food pics too? Now I think everyone will be interested in that!!!! -MW
Food, glorious food!
Hi Ming, I'm afraid the pics I took are mostly food and scenery! Less people, definitely. I remember vividly.... Aaaaah...Balinese foods are yummilicious! Yes, CH is in charge of bringing my memory cards for processing so it takes few days usually (",) So...
I saw that tractor going down the highway on a trailer.
My friends and I were driving from Monterey, after a day at the races, and we saw a Lamborghini a just up the road. As we got closer I saw the tractor on a trailer and jokingly said "Look and the Lamborghini tractor" and as we passed it I was very suprise...
I love the Spyker, MW!
I remember not being that into the original Spyker models I saw several years ago at a car show, but I've got to say -- the C8 Aileron Spyder is delectable. Thanks for the great photos! Daos
I agree, it's a cool car!
Hello Daos! The Spyker is much cooler in person than in pics, plus those scissor doors really look great. Thanks for the compliments! I really had a great time up in Monterey. -MW
Very Special aircraft, I mean car.
You have very unique taste Daos! This car is truly a very special car. In many ways, I truly think this car is actually a very beautiful car, although its styling is somewhat unusual and features many flat surfaces without a large amount of curvaceous bod...
Thanks, Patrick!
Thank you for the review of the Spyker. It is a very interesting car. I doubt I will ever own an exotic car, as my pocketbook would likely never support such an indulgence, but I do enjoy their beauty. I suspect I'd sooner spend 100s of thousands on a fan...
Hello Stefan Ma! Which is....
Hello Stefan! Which one is your favorite? McLaren, M1, Spyker, Bugatti? -MW
CAR SHOW ....
Hi Ming, what a gathering that is ... WOW !! The SLR makes a ridiculous sound (just youtube it), i don't understand how they could do that. The looks of the car are amazing but in combination with sound it's a Donald Duck car IMHO. I went to a car show to...
The SLR's sound is downright scary...
I had the opportunity to drive the SLR Roadster this year at Pebble Beach, and it is perhaps the scariest sounding vehicle I've ever driven. Most vehicles, the driver and the vehicle occupants don't hear much of the sound, because the exhaust system chann...
Hello Patrick!
Thanks for your post and review of the SLR. Have you driven a HPE (Hennesey) Viper? Now that's a seriously scary sounding car! -MW
Nope, haven't driven that, and I haven't even heard that one!
Haven't even driven a normal viper yet.
Thanks Salman! I have to admit that I accidently...
Hello Salamn, I have to admit that when I quickly glanced at it, I accidentlly thought it was a Panetera! Ooops! I was quickly corrected by a die hard Lambo owner! -MW
The Detomaso Pantera is a fine exotic in its own right...
but the lines of the Miura are just heavenly, imho its the best one they've designed yet, followed by the Countach LP400 and then the Diablo, I'm beginning to appreciate the Murcie slowly but surely, it takes a long time for some designs to grow on me and...
Ohh the M1
a dream car all the way but I got soft spot for 8CC Thank you for sharing this galore of monsters Damian
The M1 is a my favorite BMW!
Hello Damian, Thanks for looking! The M1 and 8 series has always been my favorite designs from BMW. Have you owned a 8 series? -MW
The 8 series was a fantastic car
that never really caught on. I still miss mine, although I think the M6 that preceded the 8 series was the best BMW ever made. JerryW
As much as I have come to love the 8 series...
Hi, Jerry, All versions I've driven (standard production) except the 850CSi were a bit ... sluggish, though they did pull seemingly forever. The 850CSi was the exception, and of course, the Dinan twin turbo was a monster. I find this so hard to write, bec...
Car event.
TM My bags are packed. Back to the 8 Series, I think it was a beautiful car and a great daily driver. JerryW
McLaren F1
That's a car (even if it is a 'super'car) that I admire. In a recent interview with Gordon Murray, he stated that the only thing he'd really change is adding ceramic discs...
I agree ...
It was the first picture in Ming's post, and the one that I lingered over the longest. Still looks great and that central driving position still captures the imagination years later. A true classic. Andrew
