OMG.... I want that Zonda sooo bad... And the F430... and the Ford GT wouldnt be bad to have :D O wait, I need a liscence haha
 
Having been there several times, I can say that about par for the course. It's amazing how tight some of the streets and garages are there. The Smart car's you see in the video are pretty popular there. Besides that the French (Parisians) are some of the worst drivers I have ever seen!
 
London has a lot of the Smart cars as well. If I remember correctly they are sold through Mercedes or BMW dealers.

Since the cars in most European countries are taxed many ways and many times based upon several factors, it is not just buying the car for use in Europe that is expensive, it's putting it on the road!
 
Looks like you need a bulldozer to get through all that traffic along with making the roads wider!!!
 
those guys used to have a show on discovery channel called top gear. for some reason they stoped showing it. they gave every wedsday at 10:30. i would love that zonda. I'm a carbon fiber feen.

SMART had an affiliation with Benz and now they have their own dealerships. There's a dealer outside of Nice on the way to Monoco that has a tower and the cars look like they are in a watch case like you see in the stores for Timex or something. Benz has the A class overseas and in some areas of the Carribean. I always thought it would be cool to putz around one here. I know the airport manager in La Romana, Dominican Republic has an A and it is very similar to the SMART. I love seeing the old mini's running around in London along with London Cabs. It's amazing how many more exotics you see overseas than you do here.

Top Gear is still made. I think you'll find that that footage os from an episode. I'm hoping that we'll get new episodes here, again. I loved it, when Discovery was playing it. Not too many car review shows have that kind of sense of humor. The darts game was great, too.
 
A few English friends (brothers) own a used car lot near london, they always laugh whenever they came to visit when I had my bronco.....they couldn't beleive we could own a vehicle that was so big and had engines that size (460ci)...they won't even look at a car if the engine is over 1.4L....to them that's a hot rod...LOL.....one has an old mini cooper w/ a swift gt 1.8 turbo in it that will light em up spin a 180 and just melt the tires right off the rims....those old coppers are some seriously stable rides....

Jet, you need to take a look around Miami next time you're here......exotics are all over down here.....especially in the grove.......

And a couple of hundred grand.
You can say that about 5 more times for those cars together....

I LOVED Top Gear!!! That was such a sweet show! He got to test drive a 360 Modena and a F40 in one episode, then he raced a helicopter on a track with a Porsche GT3 Turbo! I miss that show.
 
how much is a zonda now anyway? last time i heard it was 1.5 millon. i could be wrong though i saw it on tv while back and that was the price stated.
