Many years ago, in another life, I owned this car for 5 glorious years.

I know I have posted these pic's before, but I saw this thread.
The answer is yes, it was a genuine Shelby; CSX4795
And No, I no longer own her.........It's hard to even write this now
NOTHING else like it!

P.S. No radio, AC, windows, cup holders. But it did have a fire supression system & 5 point Simpson racing harness.

a company wants to take lambo to the next level. lambo limo
fuck yeah. this is the shit.http://autos.yahoo.com/news/would-you-rent-a-lamborghini-aventador-limo--221650934.html
Cadillac Escalade or the Lincoln MKT for the hottest ride to your wedding or senior prom—a British firm is looking to make a Lamborghini Aventador stretch limousine.

The firm is called Cars for Stars, and it released both some renderings and a CGI video of its stretch Aventador concept this morning. The car’s exterior is essentially typical Lamborghini Aventador fare, surprisingly: it has four scissor doors instead of the typical two, but the front and rear fascias are almost completely untouched. The engine is even in the same place—behind the passenger cabin—although in this case, it’s moved a few more feet behind the driver. Behind the front row of seats, where most Lamborghini owners would find a firewall, there’s a partition with a sliding window, behind which is another cabin. There’s plenty of seating inside (in typical Lamborghini fashion, the seats are a lovely shade of orange), as well as a bar, surround sound system, and some plasma televisions.

The reason why the release only shows renderings and a CGI video, however, is because no such car actually exists yet. While the idea of a stretch Aventador is an interesting one, the technical challenges to making one are huge. The first is the frame: while most limousines stretch body-on-frame cars or trucks (this is why the Town Car ruled for such a long time), the Aventador uses a full carbon fiber tub for the passenger compartment. To stretch the Aventador, Cars for Stars would have to figure out a way to create a new tub from scratch…at great expense, of course. There’s also the challenge of making a mid-engined car work, despite the fact that the engine is some 10 feet behind the driver.

I bought it from Newport Shelby in LA.
427fe sideoiler, dyno'd at 603hp 630tq, tire shredder! That car almost killed me several times. I couldn't drive it with an empty gas tank, it needed the weight over the rear wheels!

I want to see Hamilton compete for top 3 in the Benz. I think he can. I think he is the best driver, and a strong finish at a new team will only prove this. The kid has talent, I'm telling you.
Please let this not be the Vettel era, like with Schumacher.... I like variety. It shows even competition between teams.
FORMULA 1 IS BACK BABY!!!!!!!

My wife is a big GP fan, she hates him and changes the L to a D and calls him Doos Hamilton, doos means box but it also means cunt.

Yep, I just walked into the living room when I saw him go off, was just after I posted. Wife was cheering. And then the cunt reversed and got on with it again.

Too bad about Massa, She likes it when he says berry instead of very.
