GTi_guy posted:We need you to tell us more about your time with Mr. Kristensen. How you got the opportunity, where and if this a regular thing for him. At the annual Copenhagen Historic Grand Prix, you can put down a donation to the children's wing of Rigshospitalet (the largest hospital in Denmark, located right next door) and get a couple of laps between the races as a passenger in various track cars and supercars, driven by various racing drivers of some notoriety. R8+TK was the most expensive, but it was so worth it. I got his autograph later the same day and thanked him for the ride, he thanked me for the donation and told me to give his thanks to all the other track constructors as well. He's a pretty cool guy Tom is a fixture of the CHGP, he always competes in the Royal Pro/Am class alongside Prince Joachim and he does loads of PR, including using his connections to get a bunch of international racing drivers to compete. We usually have a bunch of the great old farts of racing taking part, including Emanuele Pirro, Stig Blomqvist and so on. bidikyoopi posted:That might be the issue, since TK was probably smooth as butter. I'm sure if you are looking for tail-out, growly downshifts constantly, and four wheel drifts it can do that too with Ken Block in the driver's seat. He is very smooth, indeed. His braking technique was the most interesting, he kept varying the pressure on the pedal, feeling out where the grip was and keeping it right on the edge the whole time. It was like he was telepathically linked to the brakes, TK don't need no ABS. I'm sure it was just a relaxing drive to him, but it felt right on the edge to me.

I thought Lamborghini already made aggressive looking cars, but drat! It's to be unveiled at the Geneva show to celebrate their anniversary. There will be three production examples, at £3.1m each, one in each of the colours of the Italian flag. All three are already spoken for.

Call me crazy but I don't like it. I can't quite put my thumb on why either. I don't like the Italian flag trim especially. It makes sense but it's just not aesthetically pleasing to me.

From the door back looks awesome to me, not too keen on the nose but then that could be the iffy scan. This just makes me want to go play Ridge Racer again with a dynamic drift car. Soldat Raggio all day.

rear end in a top hat Bicycle posted:I've never seen one in person, but walking around Tampa, FL yesterday I happened to spot this. I have to say it was a religious experience. I knocked on the door, but the owner wasn't home. Oh well. There are one of these that lives down the street from me, I think it had a for-sale sign on it last month but I don't remember.

It looks way better in those other pictures than the scan, but I still really don't like a lot about the front end (mainly those weird vent things going on underneath the headlights)

Lambos are supposed to be loving insane. Therefore, this one is the best Lamborghini since the Countach.
