enigma662 07-30-2005, 04:32 AM So I was on my way to the San Jose Grand Prix today, when I see a car carrier go by with a silver Porsche on top. But wait, that's not a 911... that rear wing, the slats in the rear fender... It's a 959! Never seen one before, heard Bill Gates was trying to get one imported for years, and they were only recently approved with some modifications. Then, walking toward the entrance, I see a circle of exotic cars. A yellow Enzo catches my eye first, then a silver Carrera GT, black Saleen S7, and some very old and newer race cars. But there, obscured by a tree, a red car with a very familiar back end... It can't be. A McLaren F1. My favorite car of all time and ultimate dream car. Words cannot describe how beautiful it was. After the race events, we came back to watch the owners leave with the cars. The transport from the Los Gatos dealer came to pick up the S7, which it turns out was the new 750 bhp twin turbo version. Looks like the damn Batmobile in black, very sexy. Then the Enzo started up, also a beautiful noise. Turns out someone left the light on inside the McLaren, and four guys had to push start it lol. We sat there staring at it for a while, then he drove it onto the street. Revved it for a bit, then burned out for a few feet :-D Flywheel is super light, it revs like a race car. We talked to the owner and shook his hand while he was inside the car, apparently it's a race car they're working on making street legal, I think it's on Show and Display or something like that. Then the Enzo pulled out behind him, and he peeled out again for about 5 feet and he was gone. Sorry for the long ass post, but it was a fucking amazing night. I thought it would be years before I got to see an F1 in person, let along hear it rev and burn out. Yesssssssssss.

Manntis 07-30-2005, 02:41 PM There are kits to put a 959 style body on a 911 turbo - relatively common in North America.

Yeah, I've heard of that too, but I seriously doubt it was one of those as the cars were lined up for a fundraising dinner for wealthy folks. You pay whatever amount, you get to come inside the ropes and eat I guess. On my way back to the track now, but I doubt today can match yesterday hehe.
Ghettostamps 07-30-2005, 04:32 PM Sounds like Ralph Luaren's auot collection, it was just on display here in Boston, they're prolly moving it elsewhere, I got some awesome pictures of his cars.

Queen 07-30-2005, 05:51 PM you have 7 posts and like 5 of them have been about your ferrari, one about your yacht, and another about your beach-front property.. stfu
oodlesofnoodles 07-30-2005, 05:54 PM Well, this a forum, we tend to talk about things we enjoy on forums.
Queen 07-30-2005, 05:56 PM well you've successfully postwhored your way to 10.. get to the nekkid section already :banghead:
oodlesofnoodles 07-30-2005, 05:58 PM Well, it just wouldnt be right if a ferrari owner didnt contribute to the "king of cars" thread.
maniacmikey 07-30-2005, 06:02 PM A Ferrari badge on a geo storm does not make it a Ferrari. If want us to believe you post a pic with your acne scared face in front of the Ferrari holding todays paper.
oodlesofnoodles 07-30-2005, 06:06 PM Well, actually ill work on that.

maniacmikey 07-30-2005, 06:13 PM we will wait with baited breath.
wingsfan 07-30-2005, 06:25 PM Someone with multiple ferraris can definitely afford a digital camera, so lets see them.
Ultralights 07-30-2005, 06:37 PM i would rather have an Arial Atom, faster than all of those cars mentioned....... and 10% of the cost! :)
oodlesofnoodles 07-30-2005, 06:56 PM Well, actually im working on pics.

(if it doesnt work anymore, the 240 someone "converted" into a ferrari)
aznpoopy 07-30-2005, 11:30 PM i honestly don't give a shit if he has a ferrari or not, he seems like a douchebag regardless.
having a ferrari doesn't make you anyone more of a person. they still shit, pee and die like the rest of us.

I could care less as well. But I thought the time was appropriate. Everybody knows it doesnt have a ferrari. Someone that acts this childish probably doesnt even have a license. SOmeone that has a ferrari would be a lot more mature than this fuck knuckle

ComradeGiant 07-31-2005, 12:32 AM I think it just fine if Ferrari is not mentioned in the King of Cars thread.
All hail the true King of Cars: The Birdcage Masarati.

Shadow7 07-31-2005, 02:07 PM For some reason when I see or hear a mclaren I get a raging hard on ever since I saw one in action at a car show. After that I like the murcielago and of course the classic james bond ashton martin. Sadly I'll never own any of them.
enigma662 08-02-2005, 07:15 AM Damn this thread went off topic fast... I'll post some pics tomorrow, ones without me in them so I don't get photochopped :-)

Well, ur the usual buz-kill Mr. Spock.
I was there and saw the same car.
It just happen that Silicon Valley has beaucoup bucks and ur turf(s) combined doesn't add up.
I see exotics every fucking week.
Here's a short list that I have seen on the road and parked:
Lambroghinis
Carrera GT
Enzo
All sorts of Ferraris including 1 of 3 F50GT (1800lbs~ and 800HP~)
S7
MC12
blah blah blah blah

Wonko The Sane 08-02-2005, 09:29 PM For some reason, I have always loved the 1973 Porsche Carerra RS... There's just something about it that looks like what a sports car should. There's been lots of awesome cars before and after it, but I just love it for some reason.. and I cant' figure out why.. But I WILL own one someday, if I have to replace every bolt on it to pull it off :)
