I don't play the lottery, but I may start. What a gorgeous car! Is there anything out there that is as stunning looking? What you think?

 

Not as nice as my pacer

 

 

Baby's got back!



You seen the rear of this thing? To many compromises made by Ferrari in design and styling to create a lower priced entry point with mass appeal. There is some interesting technology, it's the first Ferrari with Direct Injection, seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox and a Lexus like ladder exhaust. But as a modern counterpoint to the original California the styling falls short in my eyes.

 

I think the Alfa 8C is sexier, it kind of reminds me of the old GTO.

 

The back is a little weird, but I still like it.

 

Absolutely beautiful. But I play the Lotto for the 612.

 

Yes.


Ferrari 250 GTO

 

That Ferrari looks like doody...

 

Your team just lives to stir the pot, huh?

 

This is what the 1961 California Spyder looks like. I don't see this new one as a modern interpretation.

 

Ever since I was a kid, I always thought a Ferrari was art on wheels. What a beautiful car.

 

This was on the other day :

 

#1 While it is not the most beatuful Ferrari ever made, it is still stunning!! To me Ferrari is the pinnacle of the automotive world and all others are competing for second place.

 

Yes, a 599, 612, or 430.

Vertical tailpipes should stay with Lexus.

 

Mmmmm... Alpha.

 

I don't like the back. Give me a '69 Daytona convertible any day!

 

I prefer the 599 GTB...

 

Yes, this:

Aston Martin Vanquish S

 

Aston Martin DBS/DB9/DB9R is my favorite car....

 

The "Ferrari" in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was actually a kit based on the MGB. After seeing it in the movie, I almost would have been willing to chop up my MGB to build one!

 

You would think something was up when they dumped out the window

 

I love the Astons also. But my favorite would have to be the Vantage, only because one day with depriciation I might actually be able to afford one

 

No, the Bueller replica was a custom frame with Ford running gear. I think they may have used a number of vintage parts (mirrors, windshield, etc.) from various makes, but the car underneath was custom and powered by Ford.

 

That's interesting - I thought the car was made by Modena Design & Research, using fiberglas panels on an MGB chassis, but now I'm finding claims that it was made by Calspyder, using a custom chassis as you described. Everyone seems to agree on the Ford running gear, though.

Oh well - My B is long gone, so it's kind of moot now.
