Government asset sale - get your Lambo for cheap?

Got to laugh that all these toys are coming into the govs hands not by smuggling or drug lords but by normal, everyday tax cheaters. :rofl2:

The word is out that CRA has his eyes on you too hence the increase year after year in Canadians waiving the white flag WRT offshore accounts. Business has yet to blink but there's a mess of MoJ Lawyers in Penquin Suits waiting in the wings.
Hang on folks.  It will make for some interesting reading. :popcorn:

I was very tempted to bid on the 911 track car that came up last summer.  It seemed to go for a lowish price.

I had a look at it when I drove up to pick up an item that I won a bid on.

I hadn't seen a Countach since they came out. I wasn't impressed with the workmanship.

Most exotics are. I love the styling of the Lotus Esprit Turbo. Every have a look at the kit car finish on the inside though. The Lambo that they had was no different.

Seriously.  I've been in one...I think I posted pics of it.  It's cool and all...but the novelty wears off in a hurry.  The engine is really the only thing going for it.  These cars are pieces of :censor:, really.  And it would be in the shop more than your RX8 and possibly burn as much oil.   :rofl2:

Great article in 0-60 Magazine about fantasy cars and how the guys felt once they drove it and compared fantasy vs. reality.

Well that's great!  Do they have a cold-fusion torque multiplier for an RX-8? :cheers:
