I've always had a soft spot for the Europa. My uncle used one for drag racing back in the late 70's - early 80's and it was just so impressive to a 7 year old boy. Parts of it live on today as a street car in superb condition.

Yes, a drive usually helps deciding things like these :)
And Alfa Romeo Montreal. I was at a meeting with around 30 of these cars, and there was one with coloured rims. Dark orange on a silver car. Looked great. But I've also seen gold coloured wheels on one. (first and second pic from the meeting, third from the web)
Why don't more cars have parking brakes like the Alfa 75's?
It's just too bad that they changed the dashboard layout from the Alfetta GT...
For those of us who actually miss that sound, there's always an option
I'll just add two cars that most people seem to forget, Honda NSX and Marcos LM600. Althought the Marcos is perhaps more brutal than beautiful... but seeing one in action, live, you'll agree that it is indeed beautiful.
I don't understand the people who say they must bring back the V10s to F1 because they sound better. Have they never heard the heavenly wail of a V12 at high RPM?
I'm glad the Busso V6 made the list. Another beautiful italian is the Alfa Romeo V10 made for the Alfa Romeo 164 ProCar. It's just gorgeous.
Wish I could drive one. At least I got to see one up close this summer.
AC/DC?
Mmmmmmmm... Maserati Khamsin is a thing of beauty, even with that offset detail on the hood.
I'll just leave this here...
That's really not correct, the riders each have their own preference when it comes to TC. Throttle being an on/off switch? Hardly. I remember Casey Stoner being accused of using a lot of TC, but it was later revealed that he had almost no TC at all. It's all (mostly) in the wrist. And there's a lot of finesse to it :)
Just a little correction to your post: Lorenzo is from Mallorca, not Morocco :)
My girlfriend gave me the VW Camper as a birthday gift a couple of years ago. No need to hide it, she loves it almost as much as I do.
For years I've dreamed about building a nice, clean Goldwing café racer, but lack of garage and finances have always stopped me. Some day though...
Backpack 2000 solves your problem
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful cars ever made. One of these in my garage and I'd die a happy man.
I'm not in the industry, but I did overhear a quite funny conversation once at a BMW dealer. It must've been back in '95, the Z3 was on the show room floor with big Goldeneye ads around it.
