Loving the attention given to the world’s most undervalued supercar in the grab bags lately.

To be honest, I had never even thought of it as a supercar until you referred to it as one just now. So I guess there is truth to your observation that it is undervalued (not to mention underappreciated).

I know this is dumb, but which one are you guys referring to?
Nater said this on May 22, 2013 at 6:53 pm
Not at all Nate 😉 It’s the yellow Maserati Ghibli.

It’s just a hunch, but I’m guessing the 914 didn’t win that race (in the first photo). By the way, it’s never good when the Polizei are looking at you like that and using the radio. Not good at all. Actually, I imagine if I had that lovely E28 Alpina, they might be looking at me that way.

I knew the Saab would be my pick of the bunch even before I hit the jump.
Then an Alfa Stradale appeared.
And a Clio V6.
And the slower, detuned racing version of the F1.
The Draken still wins, but can you blame me? Fastest one here by miles.
I like the S2000 fastback. It’s got a little bit of Z4 coupe going on there.

For you:

Go group. I love the old custom boxer bike. Those CSL photos bring up a sore subject – I think I need to let my running driving ’72 BMW 3.0 CS go. It is a driver with lots of work to be done. Know anybody interested?

Allan: not personally, though you are more than welcome to post it on facebook.com/motoringconbrio.
I also recommend e9coupe.com/forum as well as bringatrailer.com.

Oh yeah.. there is just something about cars/trucks hauling ass across the desert that is so appealing. I have to experience that some day.
Allan said this on May 20, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Agreed!

Am I the only one who thinks the picture of the green early AMG (the one that isn’t the unmistakable Red Sow) looks like it might not be a photograph, but rather a computerized rendering? Something about it just looks off to me–some of the pixels, perhaps?
Steve said this on May 20, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Steve, you are absolutely correct. I thought it was nevertheless interesting enough to include!
motoringconbrio said this on May 20, 2013 at 9:01 pm
Agreed–thanks!

That photo of the Station hairpin is burned into my brain from hacking on Monaco for Grand Prix Legends.

Hi Drew,
What car is that super cool nr 13 in gold/black?
Hendrik said this on May 21, 2013 at 11:04 am
Hi Hendrik,
It’s a 1966 NASCAR-spec Chevy Chevelle. Here are some more for you:

someone forgot to finish up some cloning in that white Mcoupe shot right above the car haha.
Love the E34 on ac schnitzer type 1’s. Perfect combo.
