Mercedes’ AMG Division now has a “Black Series”, apparently to offer it’s loyal customers another level of excitement (from Car Magazine) since many of them choose to go to other manufactures for greater thrills. I would imagine some of the candidates would be Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche to name a few. In this post I have included some pics of the new SL65 AMG Black Series. Checking out their site these new über models have a mean aggressive look that could add to my swagger… ;-) I usually don’t get into the nitty gritty details about power curves and specifications, but I’m sure this is inspiring someone to dream about owning and driving one. I can just image what it sounds like when you turn this beast on!

“We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.” - Woodrow T. Wilson

You will soon notice my taste in timepieces as you continue to follow the selection I choose to write about, but this one is simply stunning and leaves me craving a Lamborghini, Ferrari, or 911 Turbo to match. BRM stands for Barnard Richards Manufacturing. A luxury timepiece shop just outside of Paris France. To say I want one would be more than slightly an outrageous understatement. I strap one of these on my wrist and suddenly, I have arrived. Until then, I shall think if you often R50 T…

“The model R50 T is the latest, most innovative design emerging from BRM’s patented Isolastic System technology. The movement, shaped like an engine with its cylinder on the left, is maintained by three triangles in carbon fiber or fiberglass. On each of these triangles, a spring allows for the absorbtion of any vibration inside the case.”

A friend sent me a link to a Wired Blog called Autopia which has a post today about Italian Police driving Lamborghini’s. Does this mean they get paid more for being highway patrolmen over there? So, I wonder if Ferrari and Maserati are in different jurisdictions? At any rate, this is my last post, I’m moving to Italy to join the force! lol

Just kidding, enjoy the pics and the video though…

Come on Wiesmann, no Luv for the US??

By emdoozie. Posted in cars, exotic cars | 1 Comment »

While watching my favorite show on BBC “TopGear”, I caught the first glimpse of the Wiesmann MF3 Roadster. It struck me quite a bit odd at first, but the longer I gazed at it with this puzzled look on my face the more I began to utter, “this is a fricken sweet car”. Of course this lead to me googling the company because I had never heard of them before. Once I found the official site I saw the model that I must have in my future garage. The Wiesmann GT MF5 (above).

BUT there is a big problem, from what I can tell these are not available in the US! Crap! If anyone knows differently please reply in the comments. This is what kills dreams! lol

By the way, same engine as BMW M5 & M6. Anyway, here are a couple pics and videos for you to enjoy:

Million Dollar Aston Martin One-77

By emdoozie. Posted in exotic cars | 4 Comments »

Looks like Aston Martin is ready to release it’s a million dollar prize. Apparently only 77 will be made, so clearly there will be a race between the mega wealthy to see who gets there hands on one. If I’m going to shell out a million, it will be for a Lamborghini Reventon (below) instead. Not sure about handling comparisons or what not, but that Lambo looks like it can morph into a fighter jet and take off…
