Probably. Did you know that a friend smashed his Enzo against a bus?
He called him telling him that, and he went like "Yeah, right... stop the BS. Where are you?"

This one sounds a bit boring but nonetheless it should be an okay episode.

bihus · April 5th, 2005, 5:06 PM

I sure was hoping for a better episode, being my birthday and all... But the Frank Mountain story might be fun. images/smilies/smile.gif

Great episode, RRS vs horse, Murcielago (One of my favourites supercars) and...Maserati MC12 (Is this the Maserati that was in the 1st episode?)

Well we'll soon see if Vicki got her looks from her mom or her dad's side of the gene pool. images/smilies/lol.gif

bihus · April 6th, 2005, 3:00 AM

I even didn't read it properly. Murcielago (or even Gallardo), MC12, RR Sport. Now that I think of it... images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

SorvatS · April 10th, 2005, 8:32 AM

Yea Frank Mountain was the guy who bought Schumi's Ferrari, also at Goodwood, let Emmo drive the Ferrari.

As the Gallardo is a newer car, its more likely to have a newer EGear version... Don't bet on the Murci...

has anyone read anything about an auto Lamborghini... I haven't read a single article on it

Renesis · April 11th, 2005, 2:14 AM

e-Gear

lambos with autos !!!!! DAMN THOSE GERMANS TO HELL images/smilies/yucky.gif

andyhui01 · April 11th, 2005, 10:06 AM

what the hell is e-gear?... kinda like SMG?

chaos386 · April 11th, 2005, 12:52 PM

^Yeah, pretty much. Still a manual, except the clutch and gear changes are controlled by computer, so you can put it in a full automatic mode.

jet190rs · April 11th, 2005, 5:00 PM

Yup e-gear is Lambo's sequential transmission. The Feb '05 issue of EVO magazine has a test between 3 supercars with sequential transmissions: Mucielago e-gear vs. 575 HGTC vs. Vanquish S.

Not surprisingly, they said the Ferrari had the best sequential transmission, the Lambo's was good, but the Aston's was terrible.

IMHO, the name e-gear is just wrong, sounds like something for a retarded bicycle rider. images/smilies/bangin.gif
