One of these days....

You'll get a photo credit in the "National Inquirer" with a UFO pic. "Shing meets and photographs Martians". Keep that camera loaded!

Pics

Awsome Find.

I do the same thing. I have a few pics of Lamborgini's and Lotus's.

I'll also take pics of the flying Supras around Chi-town

My favorite ones are the ones that you find when you're not looking. I saw a General Lee, copy. Love those Chargers.

Heh - my problem is finishing the roll so I can get it developed. Finally finished one last week, and it stil had pictures on it from the beginning of June! We need a group deal on digital cameras...

yo you guys ever dream of being rich?

I saw a couple of those bad-boys in Canada. I always think if it's Canada, the person driving is even richer.

me and my buddy used to dream of getting rich and what we would do when that happened. Now I wonder. Seems like all the dot.com and techies have gone bust. Even Cisco took a big fall too.

Nice cars are a dime a dozen. Just go to night school or the gym and you see Boxsters, S500, 740il and such. A6/A4 are like Camrys!! Ah, but the Italiano is rare, as are the wide Carreras and such. It's one of those things--when something is exotic, it stirs the soul of a man 18-80!!

How could I forget 'fastyellow'? Nice pics of the Lambo. Have you seen the sketch of the car that will replace the Diablo? Page 122 of the Jan 2001 Car & Driver has it. This is their famous '10 Best' issue that is well worth picking up if you don't subscribe. The new Lambo is being referred to by it's code name, Project L147, until they name it.

I could snap a pic of it and email it to you but I don't have a way of posting it yet. I gotta get one of those free accounts.

Lambo? wrong make. maybe you have forgotten already

I don't know my Italian cars but I'd say that's either a 355 or 360. It's one of those things like the new M3. An absolute bargain at list price but since there is far greater demand than supply, you can never buy one for list.

When he took the first pic he was in fact in Europe, but if you will click on the link that says "Shing's new car" you will find the one that he found in Houston.

Just thought I would clarify....

Holy Crap! Now, why you go posting pics of a Ferrari and a Lambo? Now, I look at my Maxima like it's nothing compared to those two cars.

Pardon me, but if you click on the link in Shing's original post, you will see the pics of the Lambo that we are talking about.

Nice pics shing.
that appears to be the same diablo that comes out to westheimer on saturday nights. usually he ends up racing the vipers and supras on the beltway.
don't you love the enormous amounts of carbon fiber on that car?
