Tractors, painfully slow, used by farmers and, many many years ago made by Lamborghini!

Fortunately, they later went on to produce some of the most iconic cars for example, the Lamborghini Miura and, Lamborghini Countach also, the breathtaking Diablo. All these cars had a soul, a soul of a bull. Posters of these cars were hung up on teenage boys bedrooms; all of those boys had one dream, to own an Insane Lamborghini. Lamborghinis of the past were all about, huge spoilers, impracticality and, outrageous designs. That is what made them so appealing; a Lambo was a playboy’s dream car.   

Many years past, then 1998 came along, captain sensible at Audi wanted the fighting bull, and indeed they got it. At this point teenage boys replaced there Lamborghini posters for something much more wild, more importantly, this day changed the fighting bull forever, but the big question is, was the change for the good of the bull?

Audi may have had lots of cash to put into the struggling car maker but, would that cash return Lamborghini back to its farming days. Recent Lambo rides have shown no craziness i.e. the Gallardo. So, maybe Lambo has lost its mojo, although I wouldn’t count on that just yet.

You see, many Lamborghini owners are very enthusiastic about there bulls, so as soon as the Gallardo was released they thought, err, fast car, very quick, but where’s the soul. At that point many Lamborghini owners got onto Lambo and said, put a soul back into my bull. Do you really think Audi would listen? Well, they must have done because, they started showcasing cars like the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, I know what you’re thinking what a long stupid name but, that proves Lambo has got there Stupidity back, one more car that Lamborghini have produced, the Lamborghini Reventon. Now you look at the Reventon. You can’t tell me the devil wouldn’t drive that!

Has Lambo lost its Insanity? Nope, they may have fallen over a bit with the Gallardo era but now, they are back on track.

 One more thing, I’m definitely putting a poster of a Lamborghini back onto my wall!

Sir Stirling Moss, a British racing legend so great in fact, McLaren decided to name one of there cars after him the mouth watering, Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss. There is currently one for sale at a huge £690,000 price tag at specialist car dealer Nash Konig Performance and Prestige Vehicles.

This machine produces 641BHP as a result it will get from 0-60MPH in a mind blowing 3.5 seconds and carry on going until it reaches a top speed of 217MPH. The car certainly is mind blowing as it doesn’t appear to have a windscreen. Just imagine hurtling along a country road flies hitting your face faster than you can blink and best of all hearing that 5.4-litre supercharged V8 soundtrack. SLR Stirling Moss won’t be a dog around corners due to the whole body being made out of carbon fibre plus, with them enormous tyres expect to get shed loads of grip.

If you really really want to own one of these beasts you’ll have to pull out, wait wait, ready, £690,000. By the time you’ve won the lottery to buy one they will be a rarity on your local autotrader as only 75 will be built. If you are one of the very lucky people to own one expect, high prices for anything done to the car for example, servicing, tyres etc.

£690,000 is a lot of dough for a car without a roof but, I can guarantee this motor will be a future classic and will shoot up in value over the years. Most people who buy these kinds of cars keep them part of a collection and there is no exception for the SLR Stirling Moss so, it will have an easy life.

So, what do I think of the Mercedes McLaren SLR Stirling Moss. I’ve got to admit it isn’t the sexiest car around on the other hand; it is one of the most unique cars around. The looks wouldn’t really matter that much once you’re on the move because; you’ll soon forget the styling and put your attention towards that V8 up ahead under that long nose.

Only if money grew on trees!

Porsche 911 Turbo. The most complete sports car in production, and guess what, the new one is out in November 09.

Well, to start with Porsche have fitted a new engine, a 3.8 litre turbo charged engine, producing, 500 wild horses. All this monstrous power will be delivered through all four wheels in Porsches four wheel drive system. Of course, you’ll be wanting to know the result of all this power and I’m happy to say, this new 911 turbo will get from 0-60MPH in a shocking 3.7 seconds. Flat out this car will clock a top speed of 194MPH, which is a 1MPH quicker than the current turbo.

The 911 is one of the very few realistic dream cars around in addition, the 911 does reflect a city boy bonus image although, don’t let that put you off especially if you love drivers cars because, this is a car that should be taken seriously.

The cost of owning one of these shouldn’t break a stock broker’s bank account with, the starting price for a turbo model at, £101,823.00. That’s roughly a £2,000 increase over the outgoing model.

I love the 911 range especially the turbo and, with the new one out soon I want one even more. So I’ll sum it up in this way it’s definitely taking the number one spot on my Christmas wish list.

Before you rush out to buy one, let me leave you with a thought that has just popped into my head. Do you buy a Porsche with your head or your heart?
