The cars and bikes thread!

Oof that pagani. Wild car.

Oof that pagani. Wild car.

Yeah - I had to look it up. $4M and a top speed of 238 MPH (383 KPH). Even the Ferrari owners were stopping for photos next to it. It was just parked by the curb in the shopping area.

Reaching peak car around Carmel this weekend. We went down the hill for an errand on Saturday afternoon, and stumbled into the Ferrari owners club gathering for the west coast. Parked nearby: a vintage Triumph and a Pagani Huayra, a few humble Maserati and other baubles. This car thread is not my usual haunts - I'm a cardiot, so I'll just post these here and shuffle away in my Toyota hybrid. Sniff.

The Pagani is cool, but not as cool as that vintage Triumph.

Duh, that kind of top speeds are ridiculous and useless.

But maybe same could be said about high horology, which I pass gladly too.

Exactly our thoughts. The vintage cars have a certain joie de vivre compared to the phallic supercars.

True this. (Although many would say that we here with our watch snobbery have similar shortcomings to the supercar collectors. One or two orders of magnitude in price does make it a bit different, though.)

Yes, the Triumph is a beauty.

Needs a leafy lane and a pub lunch, that one.

Yeah, these modern cars are so phallic these days, it’s ridiculous.

I admit, that was my first car crush, when I was about 6 years old.

Not sure I like the idea of sitting in the scrotum.
