Lamborghini Factory Flashback to 1969

July 4th, 2009

A true Lamborghini fan probably has to pick his jaw up off the ground right now but these black and white stills are just breath taking of the Lamborghini factory from the 1960’s. The car above is a Lamborghini Miura is the car above was the car that set the mid-engine layout standard for future Italian machines. Only 764 were built in history from the Lamborghini factory. You can enjoy more photos over at Jalopnik who put together this whole piece.

Carrera GT Vs. 2009 Corvette ZR1 Vs. Porsche 911 Vs. Nissan GT-R [VIDEO]

July 1st, 2009

I remember years ago back before YouTube and Streetfire the automotive scene would trade/share/post videos in .mpeg or .wmv formats on car forums and other places. Back in that area I remember the Norcal guys had one of the best street racing scenes I had ever seen. This video brings me back to those Bay Area memories as a yellow Porsche Carrera GT battles a 2009 Corvette ZR1, a Porsche 911 997 Evotech Kit, and a camera car Nissan GT-R.

TVR Tuscan S [Hollywood Car Spotting]

June 30th, 2009

I spotted this on Faifax a few days ago and have been meaning to post this up but I keep forgetting it. Fairfax Avenue between Sunset and Melrose has been a hot bed of car spotting for me including a Gumpert, two Bugatti’s and now this TVR. The car did have dealer plates but I couldn’t find a listing of it for sale anywhere. This car got me off guard on the way to LAX so I have to snap this with my Blackberry instead of a good camera.

Yellow Rolls Royce Drop Head Coupe

On a mission to buy the best cupcakes in Los Angeles I wound up driving down Rodeo Drive due to my navigators lack of ability to get me on Santa Monica Blvd. in Beverly Hills due to it’s confusing nature. We swung down Rodeo Drive and spotted this gorgeous yet obnoxious yellow Rolls Royce.

After doing some homework it appears the car is owned by Iranian-American business owner Bijan Pakzad who owns a boutique on Rodeo. The store is available by appointment only and is known as the most expensive store in the world.

If you live in the UAE, London, or even Los Angeles owning a stock Bugatti Veyron might not make you the man you want to be. However, Mansory has problems for your stock Bugatti woahs with this insane revamp of the Veyron. The LED lights in the front are an amazing touch along with the shorter carbon fiber hood from Mansory.
