One of the things we're concerned about in the alt coin community is that there's going to be a serious shortage of Lambos when everyone's favorite Shiba gets to the Moon. That in mind, which Lambo would you choose, provided of course that there's still some left. Here at the Compound we're with Kid and opt for the Miura.
Named after a fighting bull, the Miura was produced between 1966 and 1973, and set new standards in sports car performance, being at the time the fastest production car in the world. Here's Lamborghini:
Very few cars managed to change the automobile world like the Miura. With its central V12 engine and fascinating body, the two-seater of the iconic car manufacturer redefined the concept of a sports car.
Fascinating body? That and then some, but don't let feline good looks and flowing lines fool you, this seductive car's bull of a power plant produced 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. More than enough to catch SMERSH and SPECTRE agents on Lago di Como.
Good choice.

As well, in this link is a short embedded video for the movie Italian Job. Note there is no body roll on those tight corners
From a 1969 R&T test drive which I cannot find right off I remember the following passage - "Driving on a dark California highway at 120 mph, a Porche 911 came up behind us blinking its lights to pass. I downshifted two gears and left him a speck in the rear view mirror in seconds". (Top speed for this particular test was 172 mph and felt very stable by the test driver.)
As to the SHTF moments on the horizon, people living in Egypt during the riots said your best bet was to look like you had nothing. The places that looked like forts were attacked and overrun.
ReplyDeleteFord GT40. USA! USA! USA!
ReplyDeleteWhatever is the point of being xenophobic if you can't act like it.
Kid, I'd say that's worth a post in itself and it's always been LL's POV.
ReplyDeleteWWW, as the proud owner of an F150 I'm all in favor. Tbh, that truck's done well over the years, go Ford!
ReplyDeleteAnd Kid, forgot to say, gotta love the XKE.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to have my '56 T Bird back. It was my first car (and NO - I did not buy it new)
