[MBZ] Ferrari vs. Benz
So yesterday after our usual Sunday Ultimate game, we stopped at the pub for a bit of rehydration. Afterwards, walking across the parking lot some dude in a new Ferrari something (whatever that newest one is) comes roaring along and near whacks me. So I kinda holler at him to slow down and then he does, but to creep over the speedbumps in the parking lot so he doesn't take off about $36k worth of Italian carbon and fiberglass and aluminum and whatever. I go get in the new 300SD and decide to check out those speedbumps. Roll over them at a good clip, hear whumpwhump and that is about it.

Re: [MBZ] Ferrari vs. Benz
See, what everyone needs in a nice old Lamborghini LM002. Big honk'n 4x4 with a Countach V12 in it. It only does about 130 mph for all that HP, but it doesn't really care if it's on pavement or over a sand dune, it will do 130 over or through most anything. :-) Ed 300E On 26/06/07, Rich Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So yesterday after our usual Sunday Ultimate game, we stopped at the pub > for a bit of rehydration.

Re: [MBZ] Ferrari vs. Benz
Sheik Zayeed of the UAE had some of these, would go out in the desert roaring along, leave his entourage way behind, which frustrated them that he left them and was behaving dangerously. but he had a lot of fun. When he died a couple years ago he had 18 Maybachs in his garage. He was the #3 richest guy in the world, had a fleet of Boeings to haul himself, his wives, and staff around, and over a dozen palaces here and there. A stylin' guy. --R E M wrote: > See, what everyone needs in a nice old Lamborghini LM002. Big honk'n 4x4 > with a Countach V12 in it.

Re: [MBZ] Ferrari vs. Benz
They seemed to be the hot thing to own a while back, before the Hummer. I remember Ed Van Halen had one, and I think he may still have it. I think you can find them for 65-75,000, but for fun, I spend an evening looking around the net for parts and tires. Hard to find and makes a Ferrari look like an econobox. :-) Ed 911SC On 26/06/07, Rich Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sheik Zayeed of the UAE had some of these, would go out in the desert > roaring along, leave his entourage way behind, which frustrated them > that he left them and was behaving dangerously. but he had a lot of > fun.

Re: [MBZ] Ferrari vs. Benz
The LM was their Hummer for the middle east armies, but I think they backed out, but it found a home with Sheiks and rock stars. I think Libya bought a 100 or so for their army. They later tried an even larger engine, a version of their off shore racing marine engine, but I hear the added weight offset any performace gains. I think Lambo are still in the tractor business. I think he got into the car business, following a fight with Enzo. I think Lambo owned a Ferrari and complained to Enzo the gearbox wasn't very good. Enzo, "what do you know about cars, you make trucks", or words to that effect. So Lambo says, "I'll show you how to make a sports car"and the rest as they say is history. hee hee.
