Is it a Noble, or is that not enough money?

I can't sleep anymore, I don't eat anymore ...

You could have a fleet of Nobles for the cost of this thing!

Auto-focus does not work on curved glass.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marquinius · 01/15/08, 04:30 PM

I'll be fair: I googled (desperate as I was getting as nobody got it first go) on "most expensive sports car" and then went looking for anything that was not yet mentioned. The thing that really threw me the first time around was the little leather strap thingy ... I mean, on a 500K to 700K car ...

Your Zonda-photo's are very good and - I'm sure I'm speaking for everybody - the challenge was lots of fun!

Marco

PS: NOW I see that the steering wheel is on the wrong side. So I'll pass and go look for a real car, like a Peugeot or something.

Yes, and notice the scratch in the leather- I'd reject it and ask for my money back!

Pete -

A lot of fun. How about some overall photos of it?

Lamborghini

elansprint72 · 01/16/08, 07:51 AM

Lamborghini to you too.

Stuart, no overall shot, there was a white plastic barrier right against the car. This was supposed to be media day, don't know why they do that.

I'm glad my wife is not looking over my shoulder: her eyes would surely reflect the thought of "boys with their toys".

Or if she only sees the name ...:"I always thought you discussed photography, but who's Zonda?"

elansprint72 · 01/16/08, 01:49 PM

I wonder why Honda did not register the name Zonda? "Look there's a Honda Zonda over yonder............."

At one time a friend and I tried to get a Honda car franchise, and name it after his wife: Wanda Fonda Honda. Unfortunately, at the time we were unwilling to bribe the franchise grantor, so it never happened. Eight months later a Honda dealership began building in exactly the spot we had in mind.
