Keeping up with a thoroughbred Italian sportscar at 15 km/h with my 1971 air cooled VW Bus in Johannesburg traffic?

You can say what you want but that is one hell of a machine. Ever driven one? Talk about small on the inside and you have to be a contortionist to get in and out, and forget about backing up. But still it is a work of art.

Locally we have one of those miss used sperm, trust fund babies, he inhered a fortune from his grandfather and is doing a great job of blowing thru it. He bought a burned orange Murcielago, and he does not take care of it at all, to him it is just another car. We had to transport it some time back to a service shop, he thought as BP service stations are green, all green pumps are ok. WRONG some disperse diesel. He did not care, just put it on his credit card, and believe me it was a small fortune.
He bought his sister a Cayenne turbo S, and she is only 17 or 18. Wreck it about one a month, we don't care, we make money. But the only time it gets cleaned is when it was in the body shop, they just don't believe in cleaning a car, beneath them. I don't even want to think how their house looks.

And just for FYI the car in the pic is a Murcielago (could be a convertable) and not a Gallardo. Murcie has central muffler and Gally has one on each side

It is obvious that I work for a dealer, after I "retired" from active military service I wanted to do something relaxing and fun. well the fun part I found but relaxing.... For the last year or so I was driving a specialized car hauler, kinda incognito. As from time to time I would have $2 000 000,00 or so worth of cars in the back, so the truck was not set up to look like a hauler. I could pass you and you would never knew what was in the back. But I got burned out as we lost a bunch of drivers because of drug tests and was on the road nearly 24/7 But now we have new drivers and I am just chillin" at the dealership, helping out in the detail shop and where needed. Cut my Semi drivers license into small pieces.
