Nice garage, he has everything. Pretty sick.

I've seen many Lambo's, but what's this?? The guy in the van stopped and talked to the driver. No sirens, only lights.

That is a Gallardo Police car. South Africa, Italy and Great Britain has one.

What's it doing in New York though? Is the NYPD getting 'em too LOL?
Lucky them they didn't get pulled over

As you can clearly see, "Police" on the car is not in English, so I'm guessing they were just driving it around to show it off or something

 

[Alx]

Thats pretty funny having that car in NYC! Wonder why it was here.... perhaps a police car show...

 

[Centurion]

Oh so this picture is taken in NY*didn't pay attention to the background*
Since the word police is spelled in another language the car is more or less legal. I guess the car belongs to someone with lots of money and lots of spare time as well.

 

[Alx]

True, could have been a replica....

 

[BMWDave]

Nope, Italy shipped in a car for a parade down Amsterdam or something like that. This is the real deal.

 

[Alx]

Surprised i didnt hear anything about it....


I would have loved to see it in person.

I was coming from Queens last night when I passed the MB dealer on Park Ave. and to my surprised, they had a sliver SLR in the show room
I didn't have time to get off and get a closer look at it, but I stopped to snap a quick a pic with my cell. A couple of young gentlemen in another car pulled over and went to check it out. I guess I wasn't the only one checking it out





Saw another MM

BMW Z8:






BMW M3:






Some vintage cars (can anyone educate me on these?):







I took these in the new revamped showroom they've got. I must say it looks more like a high-end boutique than it is a car mart. Absolutely awesome, pity they won't have the Z8 there for long because it seems they already have a ready buyer. And well, I'm waiting for them to stock the M5 which I saw in the same showroom in the picture I took earlier.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

I know this is the bubble car:


The Z8 in black looks awesome!

 

[Alx]

Z8 is a very classy looking car.... its such a distinguished style! Incredible!

 

[BMWDave]

The "bubble car" is a BMW Isetta. I believe it had 13hp.

 

[BMWDave]

The other car is a BMW 327 Coupe. They were styled by Peter Schimanowski. The car was introduced in October of 1938. It had an 80hp engine. Production stopped in 1941, and about 300 coupes were made.

 

[Mr. M]

Thanks for the information BMWDave! Looks like these cars are vintages!

 

[Merc1]

Its an amazing car, with a 444 hp V12 and its a real off roader. Its quite a beast. I have more pictures if you want, and if you want high res, tell me, and I'll e-mail them to you (merc1).

Yes please! Thanks.

[Merc1]

HA HA - LOL - it makes the HUM V look good

I think we're around the same age no? I remember having a picture of the Countach on the wall in my room as a kid, but I also had a picture of the LM002. They had one here at Chicago auto show back in 1988 or 1989 and I was like OH s__t! There was something special about this beast.
