A couple of weeks ago I parked next to a new Lambo Murcielago in silver. Nearby were red and yellow Ferrari Modenas. The Murcielago made them look old. First Lambo since the Miura I would have...if I could.

Eric, that's a BMW 507. It was designed by Count Albrecht von Goertz-- you can see how BMW copied it for the Z8 and other cars.
Hey, I kind of like the sound of that, Count Eric McKenna!

The Bimmer is very sweet.
I saw a guy park a Lambo like that in the Whole Foods parking lot in Houston once. He had to pop the door and sit on the sill. But D@mn it sounded good.

507 neat - there is an old movie with George C. Scott where he is on the lamb driving one. Havn't seen it since I was a kid - but I remember thinking the car was so cool.
EDIT: OK I just googled it and it was a 503 - in the words of Emily Latella - Never Mind.

Well from what i have heard from Ken Brightman, he had a muscle car collection before a porsche collection.. (not to mention his memorabilia collection and every other collection under the sun). i didnt know if he was branching out a bit, or just transitioning, expanding etc, or if his tastes were changing again. fwiw, i think the ferarri and the bmw would be excellent choices if he was 'branching out'. the lambo is too blah for me.

Yeah,
