There's a reason why high horsepower cars used to be expensive and hard to get.Quote:

Buster, was that black Fiat yours, and did you live in Hünfeld?
That is a pretty car.Quote:

When I was kid I always had a certain eye for the 456 GT. A gorgeous, underrated 2+2 GT car. They can be had now for $65-80k. I bet these will sky rocket in value. V12 and a gated shifter. Done.

can't wait for the Zora release, me thinks it's going to surprise a lot of folks.
Saw Hammond wreck one on that endurance race episode of TG. Ouch, that had to be hard to look the other owner in the eye.Quote:

I wonder what it would take to make one of those street legal? Front and rear signals...rear view camera, as it has no rear window...road tires to replace the slicks? They would prolly still DQ it for road use, just because it's a racing car. Depends on state, I guess.
If it's bodied in aluminum, then polished bare aluminum like my Series IIA. If not, then painted Mercedes Silver. Red seat/seats, of course!!
Is that vehicle a real possibility, or another car show proto-type that hits the circular file as soon as the show is over?Quote:

Refreshing to see pillars, for a change, that aren't as wide as Kate Kardashian's ass. Kind of a cool vehicle!!
It's a a carbon fiber composite body..Quote:

I'm happy for the Corvette's success in updating the design and performance going back to the C6. I wonder if there's any truth to the future Vette being mid-engined?Quote:

Ughh.......chock it up to the 8Os, I guess.. I'm wondering why they didn't give it a vinyl roof. That woulda looked snazzy!!
Evidently it was good for 237 mph, though.
Is that a Lagonda?
No doubt.Quote:

Sauber C9 wasn't available in road trim. Settle for the CLK GTR? Homologation cars are missed.
