There's a guy in london my dad knows who's having his Enzo painted blue, and he's going to lose 100k of value on it :( ($197k)
I also found out my american cousin is marrying a very rich man called Mr Haugh, he owns over 40 cars including 4 lambos and 5 ferraris, and was behind the creation of the 'mustardo' (google it)

I'll be going to his house sometime this year :D

He's the CEO of a large company and he found the time to E-Mail me back, how awesome :D

he also owns a drophead and SLR apparrently :D can't wait, might instead be meeting them when i go on holiday this friday.
 
I finally got a photo of the white corvette C4 thats been lurking around for some time, it was an earlier model before the facelift, i'll post photos tomorrow.
 
Over the last week or so, I've spotted some pretty great cars on the road, which included:

4x Nissan R35's
V8 Vantage
Vanquish S
RR Phantom
2x Ferrari 360's
Maserati Gran Turismo
2x T-Rex's
2x Ferrari F430's (Including one modified, with custom bodykit and black rims :scared:)
Mitsuoka Orochi 👍
2x Pontiac G8's
Err... an antique Ferrari GP car (I took a photo for you all).
And a bunch of other interesting things which I've forgotten about :lol:

I took photo's of most of them... which I'll send when I get good internet 👍

Is it wrong of me, to want the A6 instead, and spend the left-over money overhauling the engine and drivetrain?
 
Hiya! :D :embarrassed: :lol: Meow! (='.'=)

Not quite subtle enough. People would suspect that was fast.

I'd make it light, nible and unassumingly quiet.

LS7 it is, then.

But srsly, I'd probably tauten the suspension up, pop a W12 in if I could find one, and enjoy it.

I wonder what stories that Javelin has to tell :lol: I bet the guy abuses the heck out of it now that it's in that bad of shape.
 
Thanks Cano for the mention on the Packards - not this crowd's cup of tea but some awesome cars to see in person. Any idea on value?
