It's a Coupe De Ville

... and a 1970 model at that.

I can recognize the old Cadillacs. It's the newer ones that I don't know and care nothing for.

@Hijak - That Maser is one of my all time favorites! That D21 is also incredible. I'm from the car world and the watch world has always been an interest but it's recently become an addiction. MUCH cheaper than cars and the insurance is less expensive ;-) .

Here is another of my all time favorites...

And despite being a Porsche fan, this is the prettiest GT car of the current era!

"Losing water? Oh no, sir, just settling to a level"....


And this could almost have been shot in period, XK120 FHC and a Norton (I think) from about five years ago.


Cheers, Chris

In our trip to Dubai, close friend and Filipino boxing icon, Manny Pacquiao and myself were invited by the Prince of Dubai to his desert retreat to joy ride with him. Once there, he showed us his beastly desert buggy built in America with a 1000hp twin turbo V8 engine. The Prince and Manny took the bug for a spin in the desert with us following them in a fully modified Lexus LX560. It was one hell of a ride even for me in the Lexus, but for Manny, it was an experience that scared the hell out of him because they were mostly airborne!

145 kg/200+bhp. think about that for a moment. no frame, the suspension attached to the engine, a stressed member, via a front subframe, titanium exhaust,if its black its likely carbon (or tires)..... brought to you by the nice people who made Ducati's racing hardware for years.
