nice 1 stumpydino 👍
 
yes it was a camaro
behind that was the huge red Iso, in need of a tune up, was sounding awful, backfiring pops and all sorts, sounded more like a flat four than a decent ford lump :crazy: good trick if you can do it lol
 
While my mom was getting ticketed for 54 in a 35 in a '95 Quest GXE (last time she was going 63 :lol: ) I saw a black-on-black R35 GT-R, but no camera. First and only one I've seen.

Damn town has more cops than Starbucks...

Nice 'Stang, but no love for the GTi-R? What's the red car in the background?

I wondered about that. First i thought it was a Bitter SC, then i thought it was a Rolls Camargue. But it was neither, and it started to anoy me that i couldn't identify it.

Then i noticed stumpy's post above yours...

It's a Iso Rivolta Lele :dunce:

 
Crazy!! What bike were you on, did you win or..??

I have a 96 zx6, so nothing special. I hung with him (he only slightly pulled on me) to about 80 then he raped me after that lol. The best part was he said "See you in jail" right before he took off. I think thats the coolest line Ive ever heard irl. Saw a 288 GTO today, but I cant whip out my phone when Im riding. I want to go out to Palm Beach International Raceway as thats where all the Ferraris are today, but its 30 dollars for admission and my actual camera has a cracked LCD. :ouch:
 
Went out for a bike ride as it was nipping above 0. I managed to blow a ton of money on a silly backpack, but also snapped a couple shots of this M4C.

(I've got to figure out sharpening between my camera, Lightroom and Photoshop. I only noticed that gnarly door sill after editing everything and didn't want to go back to the original)
 
:banghead:

I've now seen a Murcielago spyder and an Exige S2 at the same traffic junction in a week, and only while driving through. Just need the enthusiasm to sit there on a January day!

Great photo mate! I love it!

Now, there can't be too many of them around surely?!
 
285 Iso Leles were produced:

Lele 300 hp (Chevrolet): 112
Lele 350 hp (Chevrolet): 13
Lele IR6 325 hp (Ford): 135
Lele IR6 Sport 360 hp (Ford): 20
Lele IR6 Sport 360 hp (270 kW) Marlboro (Ford): 5

So depending on which IR6 that is, you could have an extremely rare car on your hands, stumpydino. Sure 135 is rare, but maybe only 20, or even 5?!

its the sport, its lightweight, has bucket seats, fiberglass bumpers and the extra gauges. right hand drive too
dont think its the 5 though, the marlboros had badges and a different dash, although i do read that some didnt...
my mate has restored it well, reworked interior, complete respray and at the mo going through tune ups
plus, if your interested have a gands:

I was with my friend today and I look over to see a truck with the trucks gone wild logo on it towing what looks like the bottom half of a rock crawler on a trailer. As the truck pulled forward some more I saw that it was definately not a rock crawler but a freaking air plane looking... thing.


(Click for bigger picture)

Since he had the sticker I'm assuming it's something they used in the latest trucks gone wild, I can't imagine what that thing would look like in action, but I sure as hell am interested.
 
oh man Iso Leles are cool, and this one sounds mean. different cam? what did he do to the engine?

in fact, how come your friend got ahold of a Lele? its not like these things are E-Types, these are RARE.

Stumpy, if you fail to give us a gigantic photoshoot of this thing when it's done and a video of it absolutely obliterating the rear tires, I'll go all the way to Southhampton to... er... spit in your face and shoot it myself.

Ok maybe not that much but it would be cool to at least have incredibly high res pictures of that thing, including some pan or car-to-car shots, and if he's willing to boil the tires, even better (:

and the monster truck plane thing is aaaawesome, haha!

just the standard cleveland as far as im aware...
im not quite sure how he got it, it was in the area i believe. it might be in a photoshoot too, but with some other guy (dammit) when it goes for auction
id love to shoot it but iv never had the chance yet only place its really been is the workshop and on the trailer
 
Got a quick glance at a Gumpert Apollo, red this one, Which I think they took to MPH 08. Driving past and they had one sat in a back showroom. I need to take a ride down their on my bike one day with my camera to get proper pics.
