    yeah you can do the same process but but Upload File from URL and insert a link there if thats what you mean...or if youre asking if you can link all the pictures together and post them that way then im not sure ive just always loaded them individually until i had all of them on there

    Are you thinking about buying it, or is your LP640 enough? :D

    Well, the price tag at the moment with our taxes are about $2,000,000 - which is almost 2 Veyrons! They have sold 2 already and have 1 allocation left for the year.

    I still have my eyes set on a Zonda - perhaps after.

    Oh I thought he was saying TASTY in German. Looks like my 3 years of German in high school paid off. :D

    Nice pictures by the way.

    Same owner as the Koenigsegg shown. Both are his cars.

    He has 4-5 Lamborghini's (Murci roadster, gallardo, countach 25th anni, diablo sv and I think a jalpa).

    bunch of old muscle cars as well.

    1988 AM vantage roadster
    AM lagonda etc. etc.

    I'm not sure on the others but I know there is a lot more.

    I am glad to see there are some fortunate enough to own these in our Country. It seems I need to move to JHB to see any decent cars :(

    Thank you for the pictures.

    You'd be suprised at how many you will see up here.

    For example, when Aston Martin was first launched late 2006 - AM in the UK expected around 30 or so sales for 2007, giving that the base Vantage costs (at old exchange rate) 220,000 USD. In the first year they sold 110 cars!

    I heard about our Aston Martin market being one of the biggest, but to have a Koenigsegg and a Pagani Zonda, that is another story.

    If I manage to get articles in JHB, then I am sure I will see some beautiful cars, and maybe even better, meet someone who owns one to take me for a ride (until I can actually afford one).

    Was the launch invite only, or was it open to the public? I know I would be scared to have any Tom, Dick or Harry putting their grubby paws on my $2 million car!

    lol no. Sorry if I offended you asking so many questions. I am studying law. The big firms are in JHB, with the big firms comes the money (they pay quite a bit more than Durban for articles) and the experience that I want (and need).

    Thank you very much :)

    Thank you also for the link.

    I must just say though, that car is spectacular, but I do not think its 14 Million Rands worth.
