Sure thing, it's silver, but was originally british racing green. So, I might put it back to that color...

Bentley = company vehicle, pure class
430 = could be most beautiful car ever, light sky blue
Murcielago = best friends, and he's trading it in for a LP640 in march. I like to this it's mine cuz I get to use it all the time, but it ain't. My lambo is a 75 Urraco, and should be street ready in a month or so.

that mucielago is a beast - they really rate the spyder version too but saying that so is the 430! and the Continetal GT is pretty awesome too...i suppose you have a pretty good line up there! :)

Sometimes, when I'm at the mechanics, for the 3rd time of the month. I'll be like, what the fuck are you doing to yourself... Why can't you just get a practical car like everyone else?
But then, when they are working (the vintage cars) it's an experience like no other. Opposed to modern cars, which I do like too, the response time is instant, throttle, brakes, handling, steering...etc.
Even the best Lamborghini has lag time, but then again, when you open up the valves on those things, it's like taking off in a rocket. Some people don't like E-gears, but I do. It's like driving a toy on steroids.

Hey Jersey,
Thanks for the link, looks cool!
One of my favorite muscle cars is a 1974 AMC Javelin/AMX, I think it's probably one of the sexiest american cars made.

Jesse, there's a big American muscle car scene over here on Jersey with some restores in progress. Check it out http://www.flatratracing.com/

Yep, total restore. That photo is a bit deceiving, as it looks better than it actually was. AMC's and the Rambler brand are all unibody cars. Meaning, there are full frame rails that connect the front, passenger and rear clips. And are all welded together, unlike most American cars that you can remove the clips from the frame.
It sat for over 8 years on mud, so the underside was fuckin rotten. And that's what has taken so long, custom fabrication piece by piece. Almost all of the underside, rocker panels, rails, floor boards, wheel wells... you name it, was re done.
Anyway, I could go on and on cause I love it, but, it's almost finished and will show/tell you more later.
