    Belongs to some mega rich family in Dubai, they deal in oil and real estate and they're known as the RRR group. They bring their cars to London, Monaco, Cannes every summer. All of their cars are painted black and orange.

    Great find ironclaw.

    I think it looks really good in orange. Don't dig the bonnet but the dark roof and rear makes it look pretty cool. If only they could keep the bonnet in orange as well.
    The Pink Murcie on the other hand is criminal!!

    I wouldn't mind if they'ld color a normal LP640 pink or any other horrid colour.
    But seeing a SV molested and abused in such a way brings a tear to my eye...
    SVs should only come in either Orange or Yellow! The odd lime green might be fine as well (as its the iconic alien snot/kermit green colour of a lambo). But a SV should come in nothing else other than that!

    The pink one is a wrap, pretty sure it's yellow underneath. Dont really agree that they should limit the colours though, Lambo do this every time they bring out a new "special" model. When they launched the Murci SV it was available in 6 colours IIRC. Sales dried up pretty quickly so they had no choice but to offer it in any color in an effort to boost sales. Theres a thread about it on the ferrari chat forum, interesting read.

    Was on the footpath today and some sort of classic chevy went by - don't know what model but it was a v8 (I know this becuase it had chevy v8 on the back). Awesome, awesome sound out of the thing.
    I also saw an old school Saab today that looked good in a retro kind of way. Unfortunately I was too slow with the camera to snap pics :(

    You might be right. It had quad exhausts with round tips. Not the same as any pics I've been able to find.

    S600 has two exhaust tips, only the AMG's (55/63/65) have four. Sounds like the one you saw is a dodgy aftermarket job.

    Not sure if this is the same one, but there can't be that many...

    Its the same one.

    I think they all belong to the same family, the ones who bought Harrods in London.
    They've got tons of oil money to spend on cars with shocking paint jobs.
    The turquoise SV and Koneigsegg I know for sure belongs to them (and they got clamped a couple of weeks ago as well).

    I don't mind the turquoise SV but the pink SV is just an outrage!

    No, I reckon its definitely an A330-200. Don't think they have the A380 body kit either:D

    I saw an Airbus A380 at the Paris airport. It was bloody massive!
    All other planes were like little private jets in front of it. It really stood out.

    That was a Chevelle but I'm sure he would have noticed it before he posted! I probably know the car is why I was asking.

    Eh I think it was sort of a bottle green. Dark green of some sort.

    You know the car ?


    I saw a Bentley today. Seeing all kinds of unusal cars last few days for some reason.
