I wish BMW would have made this:

The butt end of that looks horrible...

I take it you guys are not fans of the original Kamm-tail TZ's...

I wish BMW would have made this:

Is this a modern take on the original M1?


LIKE!

[Monster Dave]

Yeah, it was a concept that they did but never made it to production.







I like the old school louvers on the back.

   That is just a gorgeous picture.  I think I am having sensory overload.

[EDIT]
Really digging that BMW M1 Concept car too.

My Sweetie's present to me while in Vegas.  Half day rental.  it's almost 20 years old.  it's slower than a current mustang (and makes less hp).  And I loved every.... single..... minute....  no power steering, stiff shifter, challenge of getting the heel and toe downshift just right, dropping down into the bucket seats when getting in, the sound of the motor at 8K right behind you, etc.etc.etc.   Exotic cars realy are an experience in a way souped up Ducatis are, but more.




the 348 wasn't loved by the press, but I adored my time with it.  Except for the maintenance I could drive one daily (not a spider though... not because I could ever tell the handling difference from a coupe, but because it's clear I don't exactly tan well).

Holy shit!  I think I was behind you yesterday

Holy SHIT!!!  I think I was behind you yesterday, Monday, while you were driving out through Red Rock and possibly across the pass.  My girlfriend and I were headed out to do some mountain biking, and wondering why on earth the Ferrari in front of us was doing 40 in a 50, and why it would go even slower at times, and why the driver keep spinning out the clutch and going nowhere.  If you had pulled over where we did, I would have offered you some of my sunscreen, because your head looked RED.  Hope you enjoyed your day.  Oh, and it was probably the best day over the last 2 weeks to go for a drive, good timing.

But next time, please pay better attention to the speed signs.

Hahahahha.  Nope.   Friday.  And...er... Nope.

Weird!!  Same car, same area, occupied by a couple, male driver with mostly shaved head, same color shirt.  Maybe you burned out the clutch or broke the speedo for the poor sap who rented on Monday.

You've just been derby'd.

First of all - awesome gift from your sweetie!!

Secondly, it may be 20 years old, it may be lower hp than a current mustang, but it's a Ferrari.....n'ough said!!

you know... I was actually surprised at the difference that made.

It's in our blood from middle school on as car nuts... 

it really was "an event" every time we started it up.  every time we got in.  every time we hit redline.

I don't care if people don't get it...   it felt like riding the Duc ramped up to 11.  I loved every idiosyncrasy.

I wonder if that goes away if you own it and use it more often?

Anyone own an exotic here who can fill me in?
