LOL!

I wonder why we don't have such Militia (police) cars in Moscow. Our poor, underfed Militia rides Mercedeses and luxury Audis, Chevys and other cars that cost as much as the whole Militia station staff's salary for a year or two...

5000cc, 500hp, ten cylinders, all aluminium ... not bad.

It will be used in the "well known" highway from Salerno to Reggio Calabria in the south of Italy.

"Well known" means that if you have to stop and get out of your car there you must have at least a shotgun with you.

Something like the old Far West  ;)

Will probably be used as a PR tool.  Like having it show up at lower level schools to help police establish repor with kids.

Too expensive to maintain for using it as an interceptor.

IIRC german magazine "Auto Bild" had one of those Lamborghini Gallardo's at test drive and it had Audi's logo in its keyfob.

I wonder if Jaguar begins to use Ford's keyfobs... or Ferrari Fiat's :D

Ever ridden in a taxi in Napoli?  Those fux can DRIVE!  I have never had as much fun in a taxi as I did in Napoli, excluding of course that hooker I picked up on the way to La Guardia but that is a different story...

Moscow is in greater need of a couple clean, dependable ambulances.

Actually, for all the Romans that drive like they have their butt on fire, there is waaay less car accidents than here (where most drive like they have Miss Daisy in the backseat).

I remeber being picked up by a guy on a bike in Rome (was hitch-hiking, in the 80's you could still do that) ... after a minute, we start goign full throttle in one way streets (the wrong way). I was screaming my lungs out to the guy "WRONG WAY!! WRONG WAY!!!"

He just kept yellin

We would leave the ship in a group and puroposefully get 2 taxi's and tell them to take us to the NATO base (can't remember where) and we had a race!  Those taxi drivers are NUTS!!!!  

:D :aok
