A Companion for my Ford GT…."The First Supercar"


I think Pagani's craftsmanship is very impressive and it's impressive what they've been able to do as a small volume builder, but I just can't bring myself to get excited about the Huayra. Sitting next to the Miura, it's invisible.
 
I gave a kid who is a Miura aficionado a short ride after C&C ended yesterday. He put together a YouTube video. Nice pics at the start then, skip to about 6:00 for some automotive sounds.

Spyker



I don't think I've ever seen a licence plate match a car better.

Exactly what I thought. Lots of turned aluminum, exposed shifter linkages, like Spyker. Very mechanical. I couldn't get good pics of the interior with the windows up.
 
Here are some pix I took at SEMA a couple years ago

Too steam punk for me Andy.
 
A bit much for me on the inside but the car (Pagani) is impressive.

How does it feel to know you have a car that no matter what car gathering you go to, it will be the most badass?! What exactly do I have to say or do to get you to bring that to the Texas Rally???
 
I m going to have to start calling you Dr Hulk! That car is truly larger than life.Just like the Hulk!
Glad you are enjoying it! Nice of you to share the passion...:-)
 
 

Great vid!

Thanks -
 
Great St.Patrick's celebration at our local brewery. Lime green car fit right in. Wonderful weather, beer, and BBQ. The bluebonnets are also looking good this year. All in all, a nice 130 mile drive today in the Italian hot rod.

The Miura is one of the most beautiful cars of all time and one of my all time favorites. Breathtaking.
 
Somebody looks like a stringbean. Keep eating like that and you'll look like a Lima bean and you won't fit into a new GT.

Stormkitty and Atkins approved. All protein.
 
Ran into this green car at the race track paddock. Went to fill up with some wonderful 110 leaded gas. Brother from another mother?

Nice 60 Minutes clip from 1987 on Lamborghini. Features Valentino Balboni, their ace test driver.
