Default 7-15 Houston - SLR, Murci, Panoz, CGT etc etc

Actually the list was so long and the day so long and so many photos, I fugured the "Behind the scenes" shots would be more interesting..

Nice flag

Yeah - watermarks are such a personal thing - as long as you are happy with the presentaiton of yor image - thats all that really matters

BTW, I am off to MSR at 8am in the morning.. pity you couldn't make it too - this would be a great "action shot" practice opportunity

Nice Murci shot! And the mug of the guy at the wheel looks someway familiar, doesn't it? Actually looks like you LOL and in that case, how could you possibly have taken the pic yourself?!

Murcie roadster looks great. And lucky you - driving the beast 8)

Nice "behind-the-scenes" idea :good:

But where is the CGT?

That Panoz looks very nice, but the Murcielago shot is amazing.

Here are a few of my pics as well as my brother's ....

Orange Lambo Gallardo


Silver Gallardo - this car had an awesome aftermarket exhaust


Panoz Esperante LM Jan Magnusson spec - has a 4.2l supercharged engine with 420bhp and lots of CF all over the car. Costs $130,000. :shock:


More later, Ive got to slave over a barbecue today ... its time for ribs, chicken and kababs ....

Well - besides the fact I would need to donate everyone's kidney as well as trade the Z to get it - It's looks cool.. but I just wonder how much fun it really is...
Afterall once you're behind the wheel, and you have 600 or 700 HP then all freeway roll ons are the same.. and after you have taken the car to the fancy hotel and restaurant valet a few times.. the novelty I am sure wears off..

But now something like this might interest me


but at the moment I am able to have just as much fun..


The big Murci just felt .. big? and dare I say clumsy?

^^ Try it out on the road and it might be shrink around you.

All cars with flappy paddles make manouvring cars around the parking lot a tedious experience. Plus the sheer width of the car and the mega dollar price adds to the problem.

Top quality pics man! 8)

This one is excellent:

Hmm, not sure about that Panoz, maybe you get used to having the tach & speedo in the middle like that...?
