looks like something from the Jetsons,wouldn't want to be ain a RTA in that

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Excellent choice, Rowan. One of the old-time classic supercars...



I also liked the older NSX...



But the Miura is still the ultimate "supercar" in my book... Cool

Ahhh the good old Need For Speed days, could build and drive any car as fast as you wanted.... These were all built to order and I never got paid for any of them! Buggers!




And then drive as slow as you wanted.....

Great choice, nice pic too! Looks like a fighter jet. Gembella (the famous Porsche tuner) just took it's hands to the Ferrari Enzo and came up with this... The Gemballa MIG-U1

Too much money.

It's not pretty but when you read up on it it's pretty impressive what they have done with the aerodynamics. An extra 35kg downforce on the nose, 85kg on the rear with a speed responsive spoiler. I bet it would handle like a slot car.

how do the figure compare with Ferraris on the enzo,more down force = more drag so top speed will be hampered alot

it was like the road going McLaren F1 and the gtr long tail,the gtr was geared to a much much lower top speed and i think even had slightly less power

i still love that Speed 12,come on Rowan i know you have some sexy pics of this multi million hp infinite cylinder bludgener,even post up bits from that car magazine,of how it went from being a doner car to being owned and registered by someone
