Maximillion Cooper took his XJ220 on 3 consecutive Gumball rallies (which he organizes). Each time in a different livery. This one was my fave

Aint nothing like a drop top '59 Vette, pictured here with Amber Heard and Johnny Depp in Puerto Rico. Saturday night movie recommendation: The Rum Diaries.

3 months ago I wrote a blog post (http://alexotics.blogspot.ca/2012/12/2013-t…) on how 2013 will see a new trend: brown cars! The 70s trend slowly got picked up again by BMW launching the previous generation M6 convertible in some sort of brown-bronze, Audi launching their R8 Spyders in brown, and most recently

That was a great watch thx for posting

Add a little night vision tech, bulletproofing, oxygen supplies, indestructible tires, supplemental 300L fuel tank, an ex-Navy SEAL and ex-rally driver chauffeur, and enough guns and ammo to win a war and you've got yourself a perfectly good contingency plan no matter who your daddy is or what he does.

there is some question

A few different sources today are claiming he's already bought another, this time in blue. Here's what Afrojack posted:

hahahaha

Should I not have done that?

Well you should buy a '14 GTI and do a comparison... you know,... take one for the team and help us out!

Wrong! I have a late GTI with the leather bucket seats and they're perfect. Just a tad cold in the winter. The tartan IMO looks a bit cheap and gimmicky, making it less of a grown up's car - not that it is one. 

As car enthusiasts, on the list of embarrassing things done behind the wheel:
 - Miss a shift and grind the gears
 - Drive with your blinker on
 - Forget to turn on your lights
 - Take off in reverse
 - Mistake the brake pedal for the clutch pedal

Driving about 30 km/h, I once slammed the brakes on a (rental) automatic thinking I was clutching in. You don't do that twice. 

A similar incident happened in Belgium only a few years ago. This time it involved a stuck throttle on a BMW 5 Series. I think the guy eventually went Dukes of Hazzard overtop a roundabout. This car hadn't been modified with a disability system though. Unfortunately I can't find the article. 

Always a treat seeing this picture pop up.

My personal depreciation special find: a 996 mk1 Carrera with the Aero Kit, which, as part of the Aero kit that looked identical to the GT3, had the suspension bits better sorted out than the regular 996 barges. 15-25k depending on miles, location and condition!

+1 Nearly bought a black 1981 SC with the Sport Package, Fuchs, and Turbo wing last summer. But since I didn't fit all that well in it (I'm 6'6"), I would of had to install buckets, a short shifter, and a Momo wheel and I couldn't quite afford all that at the time. Too bad... There's not a day that goes by that I

2001 Ferrari 456 - Dropped like $300,000 and if it weren't for the maintenance costs we'd all own one! Bonus: throw on some gorgeous Novitec 10-spokes to freshen the Fezza 4 seater up!

My friend has been daily driving an E430 imported from Germany when new. Great car, but absolutely everything but the engine goes wrong on the thing! He recently had to buy a new key for it for several hundred bucks. Epic ride, but you'll need balls of steel (and money) to own one.

MB SLS GT3 in Chrome. It would blind the other drivers as much as it would myself from sun glare but you can't put a price on style - and sound! Two summers ago they flew by me at the Nurburgring 24 Hours and they sounded even better than the raspy Zagato Astons and Godly Vettes.
