You don't want to see this car in person NOR hear it reving-up believe me... I had issues sleeping on that same night :/ I was in the front crowd when the picture you advertised was taken haha! Was at the our last auto-show (small world!). They rev-ed that babe at 10k+ rpm right there on the podium (i.e. indoor). Sick ******************** |
One of the most overlooked and beautiful cars ever made was the 1967 Toyota 2000GT.
The Miura is a gorgeous car too. |

No offense...?? I take great offense... and I'm not even a 'grand pa'. There is no cause to inject age into the topic, unless you're that insecure about your own age. I (and many others here) lived through the Golden Age of the automobile (1955-1975), got my license smack in the middle of it. At the same time, your people were riding bicycles, chanting, waving around little Red books and shooting people for listening to Beatles records or drinking a Coke! You punk-ass youngster don't know the first thing about cars, and your statement about the Pagani Zonda proves it (and FYI, it's not even a Pagani in your pic). The Zonda is a capable car, even an extremely capable car. But one of the most beautiful of all-time...?? Hardly, and it shows how easily your generation can be lured by the power of Marketing, and reject anything produced before 1990 without even trying to keep an open mind. Don't bother to reply lest you confirm that what I say is correct and risk sounding even more the fool! Cheers! |
I believe I owe you and others very sincere apologies for the comment. Agreed, inappropriate and it won't happen again.
Also, an apology for the lack of attention I put into selecting/uploading pictures on the forum. Here goes the "Zonda" from Pagani at the same event. http://www.revrush.com/986/zonda01.jpg http://www.revrush.com/986/zonda02.jpg http://www.revrush.com/986/zonda03.jpg http://www.revrush.com/986/zonda04.jpg http://www.revrush.com/986/zonda05.jpg |

Wow....talk about over reaction....
I do not think his "grandpa" comment was as malicious as you are making it out to be and to attack him and make desparaging remarks regarding his "supposed" ethnicity and your presumed inferiority of them was uncalled for.

ok please hits taken enough. I've started all this and response taken. End of it I hope haha. No more reply on this topic - bk to the thread's original mood? (sorry Danger)

While I'm not a grandpa by a long shot, I've been to Meadow Brook Concours 2 years ago and was taken back by how beautiful all the classic cars were back in the day. It was a time when you had to be big & bold. I see airplanes the same way... nothing beats the sound of a V12 Merlin engine in a Spitfire or Mustang.

I'd say this one ranks top in my list of "most gorgeous vehicle of all time". That's what got me into cars haha! ;)

In terms of asthetic beauty, I just don't think anything can match the beauty of
European sports cars of the 1950s and 60s. I hate to say I'm down on American cars, but I just don't like muscle cars. Just don't like the looks of them and the mindset behind them. Call me a Euro Sports Car Snob I guess :D Other than a Shelby Cobra, or a vintage Vette, American cars just don't do it for me. :barf: I think the thing that drew some of us to the Porsche Boxster (besides it being a Porsche), is its combination of a vintage European sports car look with a little bit of exotic mixed in. My 2 favorite Porsches of all time besides the Boxster ? (Mind you, the look of the Cayman grows on me more and more every time I see one, especially in Silver) are these: http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...sche904GTS.jpg http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j2...50spyder1B.jpg |

No offence whippersnapper, but that looks nothing like a Pagani Zonda. This does... http://www.sportsclb.com/wp-content/...ni_Zonda-1.jpg |
Oh I like the newer cars. Just think some of them should be traveling UP instead of
FORWARD ;) |
On 2nd thought I'd have to throw a FORD GT in there as well. (Even though it looks
like a ripoff of the Porsche 904 GTS). :D |
