They told me to "Get Lost" after stepping one foot in the place. It means I'm now too scared to visit the local Lamborghini and Ferrari dealers.

That's horrible! My philosophy is (going into a rant here) that anyone is a potential customer, if not now, then later. If in 20 years you want to buy a McLaren, are you going to buy it from there? I don't think so. I went into the local Porsche dealership in Pittsburgh and the only thing they told me was, "Look but don't touch." I respect these cars more than you do, man! Anyway, whenever I visit my grandmother in Indianapolis, we go visit the Bentley dealership there. The people there are the nicest salespeople I've ever met. Period. A couple of times they've let me back into the service area to see what they've got back there, and I've sat in a Bentley Continental Flying Spur and a Brooklands (coupe version of the Arnage), thanks to their great generosity. if I ever want to buy a Bentley, I'll buy it there. Period. They have me won over, because they were nice to me.

A new McLaren dealership opened it's doors here not so long ago, saying everyone's welcome to come have a look.
I plan on doing that when I'm around, you probably just met someone who had a bad day.

Well, it's not from today, in fact the photos have more that a year, but I think that they are still worthy for the thread.
This photos were taken in a museum in Portugal, and it is open to the public.
Enough text, let's get to the photos:

Honda NR750:
6644039359_c6174ac639_z.jpg


Quifel ASM Team Lola B05/40
6644042927_3001795257_z.jpg

(A bit dark, unfortunately)

Mercedes AMG CLR-GTR
6644087243_8217663747_z.jpg


Ferrari F40
6644046173_8e277091f9_z.jpg

One of the most impressive cars I ever seen. It was one of the reasons that made me go on a trip of near 120 miles to go to this museum, and it was worth it.

Porsche 968

6644062999_d09f775eab_z.jpg


Lamborghini Miura SV
6644066787_2573a8ab78_z.jpg

One of 150 ever made. The other reason to go here. The Miura and the F40 are two of my favorite cars and to see them by the first time, separated by a few meters it was one of the best things I ever saw. Also, the Miura is extremely low. The tip of the nose is about 40 cm (or 15 inches) from the floor. I knew it was low, but not THAT low.

Porsche 911 Turbo (930)

Knowing the owner of it I doubt it's a replica.



Canon 7D + 24-105mm lens. Good lighting helps a lot.

Well then it is most likely a genuine Lotus. It's just you do get a lot of replicas that are very hard to tell apart from originals. :)
 
Picked up a copy of AutoTrader at a gas station today to find this beauty for sale...
Didn't have a camera on me, so I'll let their ad do the showing...

As soon as I saw it in the magazine, I jumped in the car and drove there (it wasn't too far). :drool:

It's a Porsche Carrera Gemballa Mirage GT, and it was absolutely stunning. I didn't ask for a test drive, though I wasn't sure if I wanted one :lol:

Anyone care to lend me $600K? ;)
