RedM Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Have a look at the money spent in one month by the owner of a Pagani Zonda S, as featured in Evo magazines Fast Fleet. Conversion to Zonda F 380mm brake discs with six pot calipers specially designed for the Zonda by Brembo PLUS some bespoke magnesium alloy hub carriers to make them fit on a Pagani S: £23,617.50 Pagani Zonda F gearbox swap: £11,808.75 New 19in Zonda S Roadster wheels to clear the new brakes: £9447 (although a deal was done on these) Full service at Pagani HQ: £1417.05 Bus ticket to Gatwick from owners home: £21.00 Ryanair flight to Bologna, Italy to collect car: £5.99! Bloody Hell. All that and no mention of the cost of fuel for the 2688 miles done that month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 ..and another thing. That bloke in the same mag who wanted a Murcielago LP640 so convinced a friend of his to go halves on one! What's that all about? Either you can afford it or you can't. Heven forbid his mate stacks it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 How can they possibly justify that price for calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 They can easily take the money off people who have so much its coming out of their asses. I dont think the Supra is expensive to maintain/run anyway, for what you get its cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lx Linda, I think it was so he could get to the airport to fly to Bologna to pick it up But yeah surely a hired Lambo for the day would have been more appropriate.

michael Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Really? I think so - the chap who used to valet my car did his too and he told me a tale about the police asking him to park the orange one around the back of the shop because it was causing crowd / traffic problems on match days.
