Chris Wilson Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I can't resist browsing the race car and race parts web sites thrice daily, and one thing I have noticed of late is a glut of very expensive toys coming up for sale. Not necessarily at must sell NOW prices, but ads giving a sense that something luxurious may have to go to release funds for more basic needs. "Let's see how much interest there is out there at daft money first?", type ads. For example: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2078327.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Fancy treating yourself to one Chris? Not sure if there would be room for the hounds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I just dribbled on my keyboard. Doesn't cause that reaction with me, I'd never want to part with nearly a million for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 If I ever have near a million to spend it wouldn't go on a road car, that's for certain There are definitely signs of people wanting to unload exotica right now though, which is worrying. If people who can afford to buy outright, or get finance for such things, are struggling, then the likes of myself feel vulnerable, for sure.

Gaz6002 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Or maybe he watched the video of that Lambo Gallardo twin turbo conversion abusing the Enzo....? I'd still have the Enzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I'd still have the Enzo. No, no, no. You get a lambo that's faster in a straight line that an Enzo, for probably much cheaper? It's a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Urm, Na Yeah, I'd rather have the Enzo. Chaved-up Lambos don't do it for me. In fact, Lambos in general don't tickle my pickle. The Enzo would just sit in my garage appreciating like hell anyway. I wouldn't drive it. Might turn it on a few times though just to hear it growl.

Enzo would handle better, and be the better all-round package. If I'm going for speed I'd buy neither anyway. Zonda R for me please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
