Folded the rear seat down, and used an air mattress to camp in the car most nights. A road trip I will never forget !


Man that sounds like a trip for the ages. I bought my first 4runner just outside Asheville and immediately after picking up the last one we drove straight to Vermont and then Asheville the week after. I love a good road trip

My Sunday Car during the Summer months. It’s a slow car but so much fun to cruise around.

Nice! That brings back many happy memories. Summers with the top down.

My very first car was a red 1968 Austin Healey Sprite. So much fun in a small car.

I kind of feel like posting a few pics of a 400hp VW and an NSX is kind of a waste of time around here these days. Will report back when either a Murcielago or 850whp ZR1 comes in.

One day I may upgrade this to the new Vantage when it comes out, but I prefer the looks of this and it has a stick, water injection and supercharging can give me 600hp which will make me happy......

Would love to add a 70/80's Oscar india to the family at some stage in the next 5 years. This green V8 Vantage is actually Andy Palmer's the CEO of Aston Martin he leaves it parked in their walk of fame. A Zagato will always be a stretch too far, and not perfect from every angle but awesome all the same. Last two pictures I took at Gaydon.

Holy cow. I just had to google that to see what it was. OMG.

While I absolutely love the SLS, that 812 is ridiculous.

I have to ask...when you do get it....can I come up for a visit and a ride in shotgun???

That thing is...

Absolutely! But you need to bring that bottle you just received for some pre drive drinks! The car is apparently sold out as they are saying it's the last NA V12 that Ferrari will make. That's the main reason I jumped on this, any car that has potential to not lose money on or possibly make money is a good reason for me. They are just starting to be delivered as we speak around the world, and I believe the USA just had a delivery this week as the first 812. I believe in your area of the country.

I think you are just as lucky, I love love the F12, many believe the F12 is special as it is the last pinninfarina designed V12 car for ferrari. The 812 is the first V12 Ferrari that is all in house design, so many traditionalist to the brand have more of a soft spot for the F12. Good luck on your search, there are so many options and variations you get to choose from, the F12 is incredibly special, just make sure when you find one, have the dealer install the exhaust valve controller from Capristo. You can leave the valves open all the time, it is pure ecstasy. And don't forget to start a thread of the new car when you find one.

Drew, my love for mustangs started in the late eighties, specifically with the 5 litres notch back, then I bought a 1997 Cobra SVT and so on, I am an American V8 fan at heart. My brother is a mustang fanatic and now has a 2016 Z06.....what a car. You have excellent taste in cars!

Thanks for the kind words! You'll enjoy all these foxbodies that I've owned... The general public has caught on to the current and future values of these foxbodies so they are now much harder to come by for a reasonable price.

I’m going to keep it unopened and waiting for this exact occasion.

Can’t wait!!

Thanks for posting! A lot of very, very cool cars.

Couple of my other faves.... my Boss 302 Laguna Seca (not a great pic..), which I swapped out for a ZL1 and then moved to the Z/28, which is a keeper. :-)
