These are nice...

DJFyrewolf36 here is a tidbit of info on Lamborghini. They have been bankrupt or near bankruptcy many time in their history. In 1997 they sold only 264 cars in their entire lineup. Audi took over in 1997 and they have increased sales every year and will sell 2000+ cars world wide in 2010. The Audi R8 and the Lambo share powerplants. They are still made in Italy but are managed by Germans and are powered by German engines.

Nope, not into new cars.
I owned an Austin Healey Sprite (Frogeye, Sprog) years ago, and I'm looking for another to do up and put back on the road.
I love them to bits.

The bugeye sprite is one of my favorites. I owner one like the white one. I
loved every thing about it but the transmission. They did not synchronize low gear so I ended up chipping it, so I had to pull the engine to repair the transmission,

In the older sport cars this was my favorite. Sunbeam Tiger. I owned one just
like this one, Mine had the ford 289 instead of the 260. love to have it back.

I had a red one. I think the gearboxes in them are a bit suspect, as I had trouble with mine to. Not in low gear tho....mine wouldn't stay in top gear, it kept jumping out every time I accelerated. I ended up improvising, and had a little leather strap that I screwed into just behind the gear lever, and everytime I'd go into top gear, I would slip the little strap over the stick to hold it in place....I was a master at it after a while, never even had to look down at it.

Yeah I remember them, they were a little bigger than the Austin Healey Sprite with the MG body. Never drove one, but seen a few of them on the road.
One of my favourites was the Subaru Vortex, I had one of those for about 8 years, bought it in 1999, and sold it only a few years ago now. I loved that car, so smooth to drive, and the turbo was unreal.....really made them move along. And the air suspension....pure magic.

I love German cars...most euro cars are nice really. I haven't been impressed with US super car offerings such as the Viper or Ford GT (the GT is way better than the Viper handling wise IMO) but they are nowhere near the handling level of euro super cars.
