Why Michele Does Not Take Kara to Auto Shows...

Geneva 2010

Porsche 918 Spyder Hybrid Concept





2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta





2011 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Superleggera



And something for Laine:

Eighth Generation Corvette Design Study




Though horror of horrors, it will be mid-engined and powered by a twin-turbo V6.

A very bold looking design...certainly more attractive than the Carrera GT.

2011 Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Interesting, but another one that won't reach the States.

Of all the Lambo's I like these super-light models the most. Less fluff=less weight=more car. Unfortunatley, like all Lamborghini's; points off for a weak racing history.

Looks like they're getting back to the "Corvette Indy" concept from the 80's.

As for Michele, I don't know why he should be reluctant to take Kara along...when it comes to spending money he's way worse than her. As for the skimpy outfits on the show models...

...just keep her away from the bike show.

Indeed. Michele has a GT, so if Porsche make the 918, he'll be buying one of these, as well.

Which frosts me to no end.

It's why Michele waited for Audi to take them over before he dare drift away from Ferrari.

Yeah, if Kara knew what he blew at Retromobile every February in Paris, her motto would be "Never allow Michele into a classic car auction".

Fortunately, Claes is easier to bribe. All she asks is to be left alone in the Louvre while he's at the Exhibition Center spending Kara's inheritance.

Hmm, liking the look of the Gulietta... hooray for Alfa's constant recycling of their vehicle names.

Allison: "You will of course be ordering your Porsche 918 with the Martini Racing livery option, won't you Mr. Pagani?"

Just finished watching the premiere of the new season of Chasing Classic Cars, which was filmed at the 2014 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance and I saw two vehicles that Michele would have been high-bidder on...

The first was an 1956 Austin-Healey 100M.

Michele: "You still have that blue day dress in the closet, Monty?"

The second was another Ferrari to share with Kara at the next Mille Miglia.

A Healey... I think the last time Monty was in one of those she had just been swimming...
