I just couldn't resist sharing the joyous ride I had on New Year's Day...
Ho-hum, I was motoring on the freeway. Then I saw an electric yellow Lamborghini coming up on my left side. It passed me and proceeded to change freeways in the direction I was heading. So, I moved over behind him and followed, but kept a safe distance. We were conquering the fast lane until we caught up to some slow-movers. He moved right to pass. I followed. Back I went into the fast lane, and zoomed on by him! Vavavoom! Then he moved over behind me and tried to keep up.
It was a lovely volley, all in fun and apparent to both of us. Alas, our affair had to end and I made my exit, heading home.

DROOL! Love the Lambo and the Bugatti!
CMINIGO, that is a great story. What makes that kind of interaction so special is that both parties simply enjoy that little bit of recognition from each other and the playfulness of the back-n-forth. A nice example of what motoring is all about!

CMINIGO: Loved the MINIstory .. can't wait to experience same. We don't see many Lambos around this area. Here's a pic of one I visited at Indy Raceway Park when my friends on the One Lap stopped for a spin last summer:

Nice motoring story, CMINIGO!!! I see some amazing wheels in my forays up the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu every week! We sure have the car nuts in SoCal, eh?
Cheers!

Now that engine would be perfect for the Mini!
