Previous owner clearly more into cleaning products than lean angles

This one popped up on my Firendface...

No idea how kosher it is, but the guy's got a story for sure.

Diavel! Same firm that did the Brutale and many VW campers. They seem to be getting more of my wages than i do!

The only Supercar I'd take instead of the cash alternative. Absolute beauty!

I'd probably get away with it here because every second car is a supercar, but in the UK it would be vandalised, gobbed on or nicked if you dared to leave it anywhere.

Maybe where you come from, but not round here. I don't live in a flash area, but I would be surprised if it happened here.

But the engine is in the wrong place!

I just had a look on ebay to see what F12's were going for, I must say I did like this one...

Yes, for a few weeks at least then sell it to a dealer. I wouldn't drive it to Tesco, but that's for fear of car door dings more than vandalism. I suppose jealous people do vandalise things they'll never have, but dont think its an issue round here. My Neighbour has a R8 and there's a Rangey a few doors up and a lot of people cut through our road to get to the council estate but I've never heard of anyone getting their cars keyed or suchlike?

There's a great thread on Pistonheads full of "spotted" supercars. I couldn't find the picture I was looking for, one guy took his 10 million quid McLaren F1 to B&Q

Heres an impressive bit of parallel parking in a six figure Porsche.



And hows about a double supercar council house?

Its still mid mounted! I look at supercars like Lambos and Ferarris with rear mid mounted engines but they dont do anything for me really. The Berlinetta I think is gorgeous because it doesn't look like them. Effin beast of a car though and I love to Boss that round Basildon!

BTW I think the problem with actually driving one of these 200k cars, should you win one, is much simpler. You can't afford it

Tyres are a grand a pop, minor services are four figures and majors are five. Home servicing might work, but parts are still ruinously expensive etc. Heaven knows what the insurance would be

There is a bloke who lives in the village where I am who is on his second Lambo and uses it as a daily car to Tesco and goes to same gym as me. He is a bit of a knob but even with that personality hasn't had any damage done to it as far as I know

I keep looking at these competitions but have yet to think "fuck it" and click on ticket purchase

Of course that's the issue for most people and that's why i'd sell it shortly after getting it. Insurance isn't a problem though!

Yeah if I won a supercar (or indeed mansion) then same, I'd keep it for a bit then sell.

I've never entered a competition for the cars, because i have no interest in cars..

I only do the cars, I'm old and fat and don't like getting cold or wet anymore (except when cycling weirdly enough).

Ex council house, presumably

I hate the paint, love the bike

I expect I'd only ever ride it once as its not my sort of bike at all. But as much as Duc sports bikes are the only SBs I like, wtf is that torturous Akra carbon snake mess? Heat shields?
