Sw@lnalla Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 here look an offical list of supercars look here and swalnalla ya heaps not on it! Probably because your 'definitive' list is mostly post '70s machines. Any car built in the Zagato, Bertone or Pininfarina workshops has to be considered superior.

Any car built in the Zagato, Bertone or Pininfarina workshops has to be considered superior.what theres loads of pre 70's cars on the list and most supercars where built after the 60's because engineering came out of the dark ages with new materials such as carbon fibre etc insted of wood and stone! and they got engines instead of foot power! brum brum swalnalla! oh and stop trying to hype up your banger its not a supercar! 1. its an alfa (made buy stinking italians)2. its top speed is 120mph (not superfast me toyota starlet would beat it)3. its not exotic supercar car money. :D 4. it looks like a old farts car! (a jag e type know theres a vintage supercar)
mercuryg Posted March 16, 2009 Report Posted March 16, 2009 Any car built in the Zagato, Bertone or Pininfarina workshops has to be considered superior.Not sure i can concur with that comment; Zagato, in particular, produced some absolutely hideous machines and have runied numerous very beautiful Alfa's/Lancia's by deliberately applying 'controversial' design touches. Furthermore, Italian steel throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's was notoriously thin and prone to rusting, leading to a great number of apparently 'quality' coachbuilt cars simply crimbling away without encouragement.I note, on the other hand, that Monsta still insists on referring to 'supercar money'; I thought we'd agreed that, simply because a Noble M12 is now available for less than 20 grand, it does not suddenly mean it's no longer a supercar....
Sw@lnalla Posted March 17, 2009 Report Posted March 17, 2009 1. its an alfa (made buy stinking italians) That tells me something.
Monsta® Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Posted March 19, 2009 That tells me something.i italians are b*llicks at everything even there food is b*llicks!
mercuryg Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 i italians are b*llicks at everything even there food is b*llicks!Philistine! That rules out Ferrari, maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, not to mention Pagani....plus lasagne!
Mr Darn Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 ....plus lasagne! NEVER diss the Lasagne!!!
Monsta® Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Posted March 21, 2009 NEVER diss the Lasagne!!! why its putrid!
Guest mrsvic Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 As Jezza would point out... look at the bomber-jacket, chino and bluetooth headset ardorned potential buyer in the frame... buy that car and you'll be one of them
Andy Millne Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Supercars, another thing those italians seem to do rather well.All that credit crunching must be taking it's toll on the italian car industry though, Berlusconi's even getting his favourite cabinet ministers in on the act promoting this new model ...http://vimeo.com/2409386
Monsta® Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 It defines ugly.what exactly is your point apart from thinking you know everything about everything! you still haven't supplied your idea of a supercar even though you have rattled on about being this know it all about supercars blah blah b.o.l.l.icks.unless you can supply a super car shut the **** up!
mercuryg Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 (edited) what exactly is your pointMy point was, I thought, very clear indeed, for it included only three words: if you miss the point when someone writes of something 'it defines ugly' then there is something wrong; by way of explanation, my point is that hideous German car - even the name Gumpert is ugly - is, yes, you guessed - ugly. It's a supercar alright, but it's undeniably not very pretty.You want me to give you a supercar? try that new Aston - what do they call it, One 77 or something? - for a modern take on the genre, and the Lamborghini Miura for the original supercar, and perhaps the most beautiful car of all time. Don't worry, if you think they're ugly, i'll get your point. Edited September 5, 2009 by mercuryg

mercuryg Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) Monsta,Not only are your taste buds sub par but you do not know beauty when you see it. The Gumpert is called a Gumpert because Gumpert is German for 'This is a hideous artefact'; Miura, on the other hand, is Italian for sheer beauty. There ahs been nothing to surpass its sheer perfection since, and little before; are you, perhaps, mistaking it for teh Countach which does, in fact, look to have been cobbled together by a blind man.

The Green snot rides agian! those head lights reminds me of something! something ugly!oh and gumpert means nothing its just someones second name Roland Gumpert, former Director of Audi Sport Edited September 7, 2009 by Monsta®

Ferrucio Lamborghini always refuted the claim that Miura referred to anything to do with bulls, and it came about largely down to the link with the Lambo badge (a bull!). He indicated it was something to do with a district of Japan, for some reason or another.Still beautiful, though. Unlike the Gumpert!

mercuryg Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 here's a Link you might find useful Mercury-gThanks, mate, but I use Glasses Direct and their magnificent and amazingly affordable products products allow me to distinguish beauty from the beast! Seriously, I never denied the Gumpert is, emphatically, a supercar, but surely you don't think it's easy on the eye? Maybe you prefer the more aggressive look to a supercar, although I'm sure you earlier referenced the very beautiful Spyker. If I were paying the price of teh Gumpert, i'd want something that was at least attractive, rather than just startling, wouldn't you?
