Gorgeous!

Just thought I'd post a few pics of a Paul Buhre that's been in the family for over a half a century. Still ticks as expected.

Congrads. Beautiful car, and a wicked watch!

Based on some of the reviews that I read, these are actually solid links and the band is a very comfortable fit. I actually like the conservative look, and the power reserve adds a little change. The main problem now is trying to source one from Japan.

I'm just looking for something everyday but something a little classy. For some reason I am not a big fan of divers/sports watches, and most other watches like the Longines Master are out of my reach right now. It is a little odd that the date is in the 9 position, but I still think the watch looks simple yet nice. I have been liking Orient more and more as they seem to be a very reliable automatic movements that are relatively cheap. The red faced version was a 500 unit run for the Japanese market. The only place that I can find it right now is going for a little over $500. However, I did find a little bit of an older version with a blue dial and a dark case/band (pictured blow). I think I like the blue faced version more and have been trying to track it down for several days. This once again is a Japan-only market watch and is available there for about $400. I know this isn't what most people here spend on fine timepieces, but I need to pass the BAR and get a job before Rolex.

That's my favorite color on a Murcie. Like someone has already said...somebody is getting one sweet ride.

Most beautiful car in the world, period.

So watching that Kit autobody experience show. or whatever its called today because they are comparing a real Diablo to a kit version.
Now its a kitcar show so Im sure they wanted to make the owner of the real car look bad.
but they put the lambo on the Dyno. tried to get horsepower for it. supposedly when he tried to accelerate there was a lurch and the car stopped.
This is when the lambo owner learned he owned an all wheel drive car and that two wheel dyno with his front wheels strapped down wasnt going to cut it.................

Speaking of which, WTF?!
Ouch. This is going to hurt. I have to say I feel bad for the other equity partners who are going to be left with cleaning up his mess.
For lawyers there now, the delegation of responsibility means that they are just now figuring out that Mr. Dreier had let their malpractice insurance lapse, exposing them to enormous risk if they are sued by Mr. Dreier’s growing list of potential victims, lawyers said. -
It's like a bastard child between a Lambo and a Stingray.

Talk about sounding mean. This thing sounds amazing. Can't think of many sedans that sound as good as that.

Here's what I don't understand. People spend mega $$$ to install force-fed induction systems yet they will do nothing to reduce the heat in the engine bay, insulate the fuel lines, or install fire extinguisher systems. What's so difficult about coating the exhaust pipes with ceramic, or installing shut-off valves which cut the fuel if there is a sudden pressure loss. Or at least install an engine-bay fire extinguisher. A local Supra owner has a system in his car where once a rip-cord is pulled, the car is filled with foam. Might not be great for the interior but sure as hell beats a fire.

Gus,
Have you ever been seen driving around in an orange LP640. I've met a mixed Asian gentlemen a few times driving that car but can't recall his name.

Barrington Hills, Illinois. 30 Miles northwest of downtown Chicago.
Beautiful houses in that area. Been through there a few times. Don't think I've ever seen your cars around though unless it was your CGT that's been driven around downtown here and there. Looks gorgeous.

Beautiful photos. Beautiful car.

If anything, the 328 would be the car.
How about a MKIV Supra with a 6spd? Right within that range with a few pennies left over for a nice set of wheels, a nice exhaust, and some suspension to lower the car a bit. Car sounds great, very reliable, can be used daily without worrying about crazy service costs, and with a simple decatted exhaust you're well above 350 HP to the rear wheels.
Suing Someone in a Different State
in Off Topic
Posted
I'm not an attorney so please don't consider this legal advice. Furthermore, I'm not familiar with NY Civil Procedure rules, but my guess is they may not be very different from IL rules. Basically a state court needs to have personal jurisdiction over the person you are suing. In IL, this may be by way of consent, presence, or a long arm statute. The first two are not available in your case (although presence may be established by showing that this guy does regular business within the state, that doesn't seem the case in your situation), but depending on the wording of the NY long arm statute, it may permit the court to exercise PJ where there has been a business transaction from which the lawsuit arises. If that's the case, you should be able to file in NY. You will need to have someone personally serve him wherever he is located. If he decides to fight it, he'll either have to drag his butt to NY, try filing motions for change of venue (where it will be unlikely that he will succeed), or risk a default judgment. If you do get a judgment against him, you should be able to go to MI and try to collect from him there as the MI court will have to respect the decision of the NY court.
Hope this helps a bit. Like I said, this is based on my knowledge of IL civ pro and not NY. You would either have to confirm this with an attorney or do your own research. Also before you start filing papers, you may want to check some MI state websites to see if you can locate some of his assets. If he is insolvent and has $10 to his name, you can sue him all you want and you still won't collect. On the other hand if he has some property, you may be able to get a judgment lien.
