THE McQUEEN FERRARI








1963 Ferrari 250GT, only 350 were ever made.

I think the picture pretty much says it all... I don't think I need to elaborate more on how sweet this ride is.

The ex-Steve McQueen 1963 Ferrari 250GT Lusso Chassis #4891 will be the centerpiece of Christie’s auction of Exceptional Motor Cars at the Monterey Jet Center on August 16th. GRRRR...

Lamborghini LM002, 1990



























Saw this beast in Hong Kong, apparently, only 542 units of Lamborghini LM002 were ever made.

The LM were originally developed for the US Army, but it was too pricey. And so they converted this vehicle to a commercially used ride. Its main target customers were the royalties in the middle east (including Uday Hassein, before the US Army blew up his super-buggy).

Engine: V12 light alloy 5.2L powerful twin cam 48 valves EFI Engine
Transmission: 5 speed manual with Hi,Low range , both permanent 4wd and part time 4wd system with three ZF limited-slip differentials
Speed: 210 Km/h ( EFI Model ) 0--100 less than 8 seconds.

PIET HEIN EEK vs PLAY SAM racer




















































OMG, the dream ride for kids with a billionaire daddy.

Okay, that wasn't the point really, I genuinely think that Piet Hein Eek's finely crafted racer is a lost art that we should cherish. Hand-built, craftsmanship, and it's really all about the nostalgia.

The € 3.540,00 Piet Hein Eek racer sure beats Play Sam's Sixten Sason hands down!
