Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted November 29, 2008 One of my best bud's has an MX5. He thrashes it to with in an inch of its life, from cold and everytime he goes out in it. I could punch him! Anyhow, nothing has dropped off or gone wrong, ever. I always joke that if a car is 'Bill-proof' it must be screwed together pretty well. He has killed a veritable array of cars over the years but this one refuses to die or even look tired. Japanese reliability. I very much used to be car/bike killer , but the Yamahas and Toyotas I rode/drove just refused to give up. I heard Mazda's are fun to drive. I like their design language, very artistic, too sharp, but to look at I disagree with some guys here that Mazda looks better than Alfa 159, and especially with someone who has never seen an Alfa.(The Burro ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Nice selection abbas but still no matte black LP560! I did post the pics of matte white Lp560! I will post the pics if I come accross one. Problem is that Turin is filled with Ferraris and Lambos are so rare, even 8C is common, trust me. I lost some pictures of some rare concept cars I shot during a motorshow, I hope my friend has a copy of it, will post it sometime next week as I am extremely busy for now. I do pop in when ever I am free to check the rants about Lewis in other threads. I did however find the Matte black Lp in google images, I think it looks much better than a Reventon.

Jean Todt 4 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 I doubt any four door car would ever look as beautiful as this for some time after its launched! (But I am thinking Maserati will let Pininfarina respond with their next Quattroporte.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Not the sexiest car in the world - no I am sorry BTTF fans, any car that needed sandpaper to get out grubby fingerprints is not right.... Probably the best use for one and they managed to make it even more ugly: Now this is an image circulating on the 'net, a fake as it happens, based on some bad photoshopping of a Murcielago, but oooh now that *is* sexy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Not forgetting, of course this: Now that *really* is a "minger" - saw one of these in real life..... looked even worse.... And if you don't know what it is, yep, it is an Aston Martin Lagonda - one of the most expensive cars ever made.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 ....and my final foray into automotive hell is this: <involuntary shudder> - a Vauxhall Viva.... when in my late teens, my mate used to own one of these in "diarrhoea brown". Bloody thing was always breaking down or would not start. How many hours did I spend by the side of the road/pushing that hateful thing..... Still, got my own back and threw up in it once Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted December 2, 2008 Remember I posted the pics of BAT after I visited Bertone? R8 is a car you have to see if you have to fall for it.... I saw a DB 9 Somedays back.....I thought for a moment if it is the most beautiful car in the world? Till I saw the Maser Gran Turismo S! Yeah! I remember how much I envy you for that!
