Looks better with different wraps though.

I thought Jim Rice would be higher.
For some other fine viewing of the Pagani, check out from 3:00 to about 13:15. Brilliant, and thanks to whoever linked the episode regarding the Bentley Continental on the rally course. Good watching.Quote:

What is that beauty? A prototype to the 1954 Mercedes 300SL gullwing? Definitely has 300 SL trim above the front wheels. Its. not the racing spec W194 of the early 50s, either.Quote:

can't find the '94 Alfa auction car that had custom made luggage to fit the running boards + insulating cushion and heater for the engine for cold alpine nights. perfect car for the old Alps roads.
dam..... my dream. LOVE pantera's..... may not be the best but to have that setup of RAW car! fuck! that is winning.Quote:

Spent an hour today on that Singer porsche site. That could be the ultimate car for my tastes.
Don’t get me wrong, I heart the exotic imports too but American Muscle is where I’m at. Something about torque gives me wood.:tdo13:

/\/\/\ I always liked the lines on the 360 best. Wasn't a big fan of the side view mirrors on the F430, either.
Still not sure if I still like the 360 better than some of these new ones.

What the hell? A pedal car for the children of the illuminati?
the other thing about the mercedes 300 slr is that it ran on 65% gasoline and 35% benzine which is pretty bad ass. there were so many early mercedes racing cars that were incredible, like the
1954 W 196 R

and you cannot forget their early land speed record cars- the T80 rekordwagen

The '06 Z06 was pretty badass. For something that I actually might own someday, sign me up. In terms of something that "money is no object", no vette makes MY personal top 10.Quote:

Might be the only car that you could put in front of that horrid backdrop and make work.

But nor does it seem a later Hispano Suiza, either....but I'm. presuming something exceedingly rare like that.
Whatever it is, it defines an age when "autos" weren't just transport but grand tapestries upon which the designer applies his art.
I do believe that black 67 or 68 Camaro above looks pretty damn bad ass!!! I've always liked the older late sixties Camaros over the next body style...even over the mythic. '70 1/2 Z-28. Just like I prefer the 1968 Mustang-like Cougar over the too-large Cougars of the early 70s.
'30's Talbot Lago - MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm do want:) There's just something about the cars from the 1930's, the way the designers intent comes through visually is so appealing and there's usually so much to look at and appreciate as well as the (usually) simple mechanicals of the cars that makes them so desirable to me.
Boy I just don't know what would be the ultimate dream car. I watch Mecum and Barrett Jackson auctions and as a car comes up on the block I'm all gung ho and want it so much but then the next car comes up and the process starts all over again.
Off to get some $200 million powerball tickets...
Does that come with free hair plugs and a bowling shirt?Quote:
