The Lambopower FEEL GOOD thread.

A well-mannered 11 year old boy, and obvious exotic car enthusiast, gets to see his dream car - the Pagani Huayra at Pebble Beach.

 

He knows all about it, answering questions and stating his knowledge... then watch and see his expressions of pure joy when he is asked if he'd like to sit in it! That's the type of reaction I think of when I think of exotic cars, pure joy. I hope to one day be able to bring joy to a young child's face when I have my own exotic.

 

You can skip to 0:36 to start. At around 2:00 his face lights up.

 

And an exotic car enthusiast for life is born!

My personal hero.

Awesome vid! I've done for that several kids even though my cars aren't 1/10th of a Huayra they still makes the kids and even their parents so glad, lets keep doing this everyone!

 

I remember when I was 15 and a guy asked me in a restaurant my aunt owned (she had told him earlier that I loved cars) if I wangted to see a cool car. And this guy was not a baller in some way, he came twice a week and got a pizza and looked like your average Joe but i still said "yeah sure why not", we walk out and BAM! A fcuking Ferrari F40 Koenig.............. I got to sit in it and go for a very short ride but fcuk me what a ride..

12 year old girl rebuilds a Fiero

Every year, Australia hosts 543.7-mile (875-kilometer) endurance racing from Sydney to Melbourne. It is considered among the world's most grueling ultra-marathons. The race takes five days to complete and is normally only attempted by world-class athletes who train specially for the event. These athletes are typically less than 30 years old and backed by large companies such as Nike.

 

In 1983, a man named Cliff Young showed up at the start of this race. Cliff was 61 years old and wore overalls and work boots. To everyone's shock, Cliff wasn't a spectator. He picked up his race number and joined the other runners.

 

The press and other athletes became curious and questioned Cliff. They told him, "You're crazy, there's no way you can finish this race." To which he replied, "Yes I can. See, I grew up on a farm where we couldn't afford horses or tractors, and the whole time I was growing up, whenever the storms would roll in, I'd have to go out and round up the sheep. We had 2,000 sheep on 2,000 acres. Sometimes I would have to run those sheep for two or three days. It took a long time, but I'd always catch them. I believe I can run this race."

 

When the race started, the pros quickly left Cliff behind. The crowds and television audience were entertained because Cliff didn't even run properly; he appeared to shuffle. Many even feared for the old farmer's safety.

 

All of the professional athletes knew that it took about 5 days to finish the race. In order to compete, one had to run about 18 hours a day and sleep the remaining 6 hours. The thing is, Cliff Young didn't know that!

 

When the morning of the second day came, everyone was in for another surprise. Not only was Cliff still in the race, he had continued jogging all night.

 

Eventually Cliff was asked about his tactics for the rest of the race. To everyone's disbelief, he claimed he would run straight through to the finish without sleeping.

 

Cliff kept running. Each night he came a little closer to the leading pack. By the final night, he had surpassed all of the young, world-class athletes. He was the first competitor to cross the finish line and he set a new course record.

 

When Cliff was awarded the winning prize of $10,000, he said he didn't know there was a prize and insisted that he did not enter for the money. He ended up giving all of his winnings to several other runners, an act that endeared him to all of Australia.

 

Running the race again the following year, he was unable to repeat his win after suffering a number of medical problems, including his hip popping out of its socket, knee problems and shin splints. Nonetheless he finished and came 7th. He won a car as the winner of the most courageous runner award but said “I didn’t do it near as tough as old Bob McIlwaine. Here, Bob, you have the car,” and gave the keys to him.

 

In 1997, aged 76, he attempted to become the oldest man to run around Australia and raise money for homeless children. Forced to pull out after his only permanent crew member became ill, he managed to complete 6,520km of the 16,000km run.

 

Cliff Young died in 2003 aged 81.

DAMN, what a man! Which car did he win and then gave away?

 

Forrest who?

I've listened to these guys as long as I can remember. They've always been awesome on air and have provided hours of entertainment. Bean is showing how awesome he is.

That's very noble of him. It takes a great soul to do something like that for someone they aren't related to. It sucks that donated kidneys only have about a decade of use.

 

 

 

My small contribution. We have a holiday party here for the employees (not our employees as we have none of our own), but we do work with them. We donate as a group the lion's share of the money for the party and if someone donates a venue then it's free for everyone. This year a venue was not available so one had to be paid for and there's an entrance fee to the party, so on my own I have donated the entrance fee for the lowest level employees. It's about 20 people and they are all very nice, helpful people that do their jobs with pride and dignity.
