There were also at least 4 Lambos, a Mclaren, 4 or 5 GT-Rs, a Panoz Roadster, a handful of Maserati, including the new Levante, and half a dozen or so Bentleys.

    I was very proud that my daughter loved every car that passed by. She asked what each one was and I had to laugh when the passenger of a GT-R overheard her and told her it was a fast car.

    All in all, a wonderful moment to observe, but it would have been nicer with a camera to capture a few of the more special cars in that group.

    GT-Rs are fast.

    And inhumanly fast in Gran Turismo 5, not at all due to programmer bias (the design team did the gauges in the GT-R).

    To me, the king is still the R34. I saw one a few days ago back home. That's a Skyline to me. The GT-R just lacks that something that makes me fall in love with it, but I have no choice but to respect what it accomplished.

    Locked in the hotel safe. I had my underwater camera with me but the seals seem to be failing as the lens was covered in condensation.

    I wish they did a lower powered model (something with around 400HP) and a real manual. Then I'd look at buying one (even though it's fixed roof).

    My dad had one of the Fiat Dino Spiders that had the Dino engine. I guess they built this to qualify the engine for some class of racing. He actually let me take it on a date one time. Don't remember who the girl was, but I'll never forget the car. They were not the same company back then so this was a special project between the two companies.

    Borrowed from the net.
