When I purchased the car, I had noticed (and was subsequently told by my mechanic) that there was a small, external headgasket leak in the engine. It was not a big deal because it simply meant a little oil was seeping out of the crankcase and there wasnt any risk of catastrophic engine failure. I simply added it to a running list of projects that I needed to tackle.
Well, in April of ‘04, I decided to do some tackling… (more…)
In the fall of 2003, I was fortunate enough to find and snag this ‘88 Lachsilber (Salmon Silver) BMW M3 - chassis code E30. I could go on and on about the history of the E30 M3… so I will:
The new Lamborghini Reventon has been revealed at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.
It is completely carbon-fiber and produces 650hp. It will cost around $1.4 million.
Take a look at some of the photos.
I assume that this is Lamborghi-.. err.. Volkswagen’s version of the Enzo. But I gotta say, it is the ugliest Lamborghini I have seen since Audi took over. The nose looks like the beak of a cartoon chicken and the lines are a bit too sharp and rigid for me. But let me clarify, no Lamborghini is or has ever been ugly. The Reventon just doesn’t immediately attract me.
The Murcielago and the Diablo are muscular in appearance but have very fluid lines that designer Walter de Silva brought together beautifully (IMO). But so far, at least from the front, this new Reventon harkens back to the 1980s with Countach’s where you could poke your eye out if you looked at the car from the wrong angle.
What do you think?
