Something rare - Vector M12, Audi Quattro, Countach

[irrational_i]

I was invited to an event at an exotic car dealer. I did not take photos of everything (Maserati Merak, Ferrai Daytona, 328, 308, mondial-t, 400, 360, 355, Aston Martin V8, Jaguar E-type, lamborghini Jalpa, countach, 30's Rolls Royce, Bentley turbo R and various Porsches)

The strangest thing was a Vector M12 that I had never seen and wasn't even sure if it had been built. It is the only one in the country and a sad colourscheme. The seats are Orange/Blue! (Ostrich leather according to a website!). The engine is a Lamborghini 5.7/V12.
I am not a fan at all. Its huge and that long tail overhang is not pretty...

The Audi Quattro is of the first variety. Quite rare and unfortunately very "Africanized". Chrome wheels and tinted windows. 8/

I also put up some photo's of a BMW 3.0 CSi that I took at Ferrari Day 2004 and had forgotten to upload...

Well to be honest - I was at the event without a camera. Then I went back the next day with a camera for the Vector specifically, as I have several photos off all the other cars already.

And its not just 3 pics. Go to the URL. 8)
(Although I know I should have taken more and at least used the stupid flash).
So I will try pay another visit soon and take more shots. Can't see the Vector leaving soon at ZAR1.9 million...

The sticker(Photo on the site) says they made 14 of the M12, although I am sure I read on another site that they made 17...

The Vector is so ugly :x :x :x

BTW where are you from ???

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

I dont fancy with the Vector too much either, on the other hand...just the white countach looks as fantastic as usual, whereas the two legendary classic cars such as the Audi Quattro and the 3.0 CSL just look awesome

I am from Pretoria, South Africa.

Even the car dealer said the Vector is absolute crap. 8)

I was looking for a BMW 3.0 CSl for a long time, but by the time I had the money for one and still none available - I got the Porsche instead. Now for classic value I wouldn't mind an original Alpina CSl. But those are very rare and none in South Africa as far as I know...But then again - there are other cars for the price I'd rather have. Destined to be a dream. 8)
