If you don't like the notion of a 1001HP car that can top 260mph, just leave that million-six in your pants pocket. I got a chance to drive an R8 this summer. Imagine a car that can go 80mph faster... Rich they are all compressors at heart. screw the throttle back, or the pedal to the floor; and they compress time and space! | |||

My 200 HP four banger daily driver is more car than I could ever use on the road. Rather spend the money on something which isn't restricted by a speed limit or patrolled by revenue agents.  | |||

You just have to pick your spots more carefully... According to your logic, marrying a fat ugly woman makes more sense than the good looking one I picked out many years ago. Less maintenance! Rich   | |||

How far into the triple digits do you wanna move while dodging Mayans or Prius drivers? They are all deeded the #1 lane as birthright. | |||

Thanks for the compliment. You must remember this is Africa. All the 275GTBs have left and I am not Rockefeller, I am that other feller with much less money.  It is a lowly 1974 Puma GT and it had VW air cooled running gear. Restored to original, they are quite pretty.   I am going watercooled on mine so the front will be changed to fit the radiator, similar to this, amongst other things.  | |||

Macifej, this is Idaho, remember. The entire state pop. is less than 1.5 million. I'm dodging P/U's and Hummvees here brother! They see a blur in the rear view mirror, they don't mind moving over to the right out of the monfort lane. Rich | |||

I just read this thread. While I love the old Abarth cars, and was a fan of their smallbores when growing up, they didn't invent the hemi engine. The first one I could find a record for was built just afer 1900, and Pueoget and Alfa racing cars had them before World War I. | |||

Six in a row makes her go!  I never actually had anything to do with a high-performance six that wasn't in a Jeep, but I have to admit every once in a while it's crossed my mind. I can plead guilty to committing certain crimes against nature with the 2.3 liter Ford, so, yeah, I'm well aware you don't need an 8 liter Veyron engine to go fast. But it helps. | |||

Just before the snow started falling I got the XK-8 up to 130 or so (witht he top up!)for about twenty minutes on a back road coming back from Montana. Still feels good... Rich My old XK-E looked even prettier under that looooong hood with the brace of weber three barrels hanging off the side. | |||

The person driving that Daytona should be drawn and quartered. I wonder if the Shelby "continuation series" Daytona Coupes will have any value? | |||

None other than one Rob Walton. Surprising that he got so out of shape on this corner. Must have just went in way too hot. He knows how to drive though. I saw him in his Scarab a few years ago at Laguna Seca and he was really motoring! Got to admit, he knows how to enjoy his billions... | |||

Mate, you need to get that project unstalled because if you ever want/need to relocate to a different country, you can take it with you and it'll be one of the best investments you'll ever make. For example, if you bought a restored version of that car to Portugal, you'd double your money at the very least. Then of course, there's the fun factor and that's at least as important as the money factor.  | |||
