Yeah, Audi is awsm. My fav. carmaker atm.

I doubt you saw an RS5--they're not out yet. Maybe an S5? They look bloody epic. Sex on wheels methinks.

But back to the matter at hand--

Uzique, that Strosek 350z is outdated. The 350 came out in 2003. And I must agree with the definition of the car as "cheap". I'm not talking about handling or performance (which I'm usre is better than a Boxster, TT or Z4M). I'm talking about the brand image and the genral quality. 350zs had a series of mishaps with the driver's door; the finish inside will never be better than that of a Nissan (read subpar).

I suspect I'm being harsh. I hate Japanese vehicles. They're almost exclusively driven by overcompensating idiots who have no idea how to actually drive a car. That said, I'm sure your uncle isn't one of them, proof being the Strosek ed.

Nonetheless, I am and always will be an Audi fan. My 2.8l CS90 has lasted me over 16 years, and is still beating strong. Then again, I've got a soft spot inside for German engineering.

I like pie.

god you bimmer vs beamer people. Its the same pronounciation. But the way it is pronounced the sensible way would be to spell it beamer. But the more commonly used spelling is bimmer

It's nothing but fanboyism to distinguish between a beamer (bmw bike) and a bimmer (bmw car). Yet the pronunciation is exactly the same so its more or less pointless. And as bimmer just looks stupid I will continue to spell it beamer. (Though BMW is both shorter and more accurate)

I like the 911. Quick, and apparently handles amazingly, sort of like one of those cars to throw around. But I find the Porsche design quite repetitive.

It's hard to improve on perfection.

Well, if it's any consolation, his main business-car is an Audi :p

Given up with the spotting, it got kind of pointless. Here's some pictures from two Ferrari Owners Club events held in Cheshire though.

Firstly an event for clients to drive and be driven in a California by a professional driver. Held at Mottram Hall (the helicopter was there for Oasis staying at the hotel)

Secondly a Ferrari Owners Club concours meet at Swettenham Arms in Cheshire. Some stunning cars turned out for it. The F40 sounded unreal. If anyone's interested I'll put more pictures of the F40 up.

It's Statham, btw. However, that is a nice farking Audi. I really like when I see them in my area because usually it's just a Benz or BMW = yawns.

I use to deliver to this guy when I worked for UPS. He bought an old fire station to store his collection.

McLaren F1, CLK GTR, GT1, EnzO and TwO BuGaTTi (1 Pur Sang)
His son totaled the lamborghini.. his wife drives a Bentley (Continental GT?).. just sick.

He also wrecked an Enzo . These cars are Don Wallace's.

I think a friend of mine knows him. Didn't he total his Enzo because he was going balls out on an on-ramp to get on the Interstate, and then some grannie or whatever was in front? If that's him, I heard the way he tells the story is this: The guardrail can't sue me if I hit it.

The F40 is awesome. Was a passenger in one for a 1/4 mile drag once. Was muchos fun.

I should put up some pics from AROC meetings I've been to, some of those old 6C Mille Miglias look

lol.. I never heard that. I know he wrecked one. He's a nice guy. I once delivered a box to their back door and one of their nannies picked it up and asked, "this doesn't need a signature". I said no (our boards will alert us if it does). She told me there were two watches in there and that they were over $125k each. I turned around and got a signature anyways.

He's a real nice guy. He started lazydays RV, building it from the ground up. He was dirt poor growing up. His house on Bayshore is amazing.

Hmm ... I'll have to ask my friend if he's the same guy. Can't imagine that there are that many Enzos running around Florida, much less people who've totaled them.

There have been more than 2 wrecked Enzos (worldwide, that is) ... he got his repaired, though? Definitely the same guy, then. 95% positive it is. Small world.
