Colours to me matter a fair bit, I wouldn't want to brands of the same colour, Balck M5's are awesome, the look so much like Government cars and a Yellow M3 is just awesome because I think that BMW only makes that colour for the Z3 Series and M3 so it's rare. BtW, what's an SXr, We don't get them over here in Canada.

Yeah Porche i see wut you mean....

Just like some yellow cars are seen to like Cabs....

SXR is a new developed super car, it is not on the market yet. but the company reckon its going to beat the McLaren F1 and the F50.. it look really good in the magzine.

Hopfully it will be on the market next year. but they said they only making 40 of them, 5 every colour. Specs i am not sure, but its going to Mid Driving possition, Indi car style Gears if you want to know more of the car, i try to get hold of the magzine, and post on the site.

btw, how you get the porche badge under your name.?

Cool, that thing sounds like it will be very powerful, and there only making 40!?! Sounds liek you will be the owner of a VERY exclusive car! As for the Porsche badge, it's called an Avatar and when you reach 100 Posts you can go to your profile and under options you can put on on. Ask Igor for more details on size and stuff.

You could add the Ferrari F-50 anytime to my garage...probably not duplicated in any social circles you might travel in.
Keep in mind about girls and cars. Many won't know anything about them except the color. I pointed out a Porsche to the boss(wife) and she looked it over and though it was just another cheap car.
Have you thought about adding a Lamborghini powered yacht to your motoring garage? A Lamborghini, babe and water...yes that would be living.

While I must say that yellow isn't my favorite color, I have to add that the Roadster is my favorite car. A week ago I drove the 2000 Millenium Edition Roadster home for the first time. (It looks just like the pic's at Lambocar's site and I'll get some pic's up shortly) The car is totally amazing and having it convertable makes it more fun.

I agree with Dogsbreath's comments comparing the 355 to the Diablo. One of my partners drives a 355 and he lives in the city and there it's clearly more pratical than the Diablo. Yet, the Diablo is certainly HOTTER and more of a jaw-dropper. I stayed away from Ferraris bcuz here in the US we have what I call the Vette-syndrome. That is, in my opinion, too many newish Ferrari's simply look like fancy Corvettes. The Diablos have, as we all love, a different and, IMO, more exciting look.

I'm happy to have found this forum and to meet classy people that actually own and drive these superb autos.

In responce to a couple questions here asking what people do to afford a quarter million dollar car like the Diablo, I'm 43 and help run a Chicago stock options trading firm.

Abstract..I gotta tell you that your Alpine edition is SMOKING Hot !!

So, Gan$tarr, it sounds like you want to one of those guys who can buy just about anything? I'd like to be on Wall Street too, but cars have won me over, I'd choose a Lawyer as an proffesion if I couldn't be a Car Designer or Driver. Keep asking for advice cause I'd say that Wall Street will let you buy a Diablo or 2 so keep at it.
