That's what I like on this forum some are not specially wealthy, some are much more but like you say I have yet never seen any sign of jealousy from the "less fortunate" members, and the "more fortunate" members share their nice things with others, watches, cars or other, but without acting like show offs, just in a humble way, so it's a nice forum to be on, I can imagine on a french forum like this one, in France, either because of our catholic origins or because of 60 years of leftist propaganda, yes France with North Korea is one of the last communist countries in the world, you could think I am joking when I say this but I am very serious, people usually think that if you are rich you are making your employees work 60 hours a week while you enjoy pina coladas on a beach 300 days in the year

England is the same mate, Rolexes get bashed all the time and so much is just sarcastic, I can imagine heads exploding at complicated PPs and supercars. That's why I love this forum too, just people enjoying the toys they and we all very well know we are truly blessed to have.

That's funny Neil I thought in the UK successful people were looked upon in a positive way, in France if you have money you must have earned it by robbing other people...
I am always happy for people who have nice things, I consider myself blessed with what I have, I always try to remember that many people are much less fortunate than me, and apart from a very small minority of people who got rich by illegal activities the majority worked hard for what they have and they deserve it.

Lam have always been more brutal pure sport cars compared to Ferrari, and to my knowledge they are the first top car company to have made a 4*4 type "hummer", I remember seeing one almost 30 years ago in St Tropez, that thing was a beast, even if it was a commercial failure, they are also, to my knowledge the first, maybe the only ultra sport brand to have made models with 4 wheel drive, for ultra sporty cars I like them more than Ferrari they are pure missiles

Here's the 1980's "Hummer"

I've waited a long time so without further delay, my 2015 Lamborghini Huracan in Nero Noctis with Nero Ade interior.

He goes really fast. He does it by pushing the pedal on the right. Anything beyond that, with due respect, is his business.

He's an undercover secret agent! Hence the subtle choice is motors which blend in

Actually he's my hero
