quite a few nice cars parked outside, including 3-4 Bentley's. They can hardly fit the 7-9 cars in that building that they do have in there.

Among the list of terrible things they did to an already pretty terrible car, the manual gearbox (6sp) was swapped out to an auto 5speed.
It really is a terrible car, but because of how rare they are (550 made) I figured I would post it. First one I've ever seen in person ..... along with the SV and SLR as well

i have had a considerable amount of seat time in the car [james bond coloring black/red/black] and i love it. my bestfriends dad owns the car and he lets us take it whenever we want to go out at night, and since my friend cant really drive stick, i am the one that drives. it is a superb car and a lot of fun. definitely a head turner

My sincere apologies (I still stand by the Alpina edition being terrible though, they made it significantly more expensive while degrading the car)

yup I watch clarkson
Though it doesn't really affect my opinion on the Alpina model. The Alpina stood about $5,000 over the base Z8 (the price difference between the two is even larger now on resale upwards of $10,000) and you got an inferior vehicle. But hey, people have done much crazier feats for individuality!
