Geez, and to think that Wing wouldn't even let me drive his S2000.  :)

You Brits are far nicer.  :)  IN the video clip, that Jag Estate that popped into frame startled me a bit... imagine if it had been a second earlier.  Crrrunch!  Oops!  :)

Forgive my ignorance, but what is so great about this car (other than its very unusual looks)?  I've never heard of it.   :-[

Wow! Personally, I would be a bit scared to drive it on the streets.

.... I don't have  such a friend,  buy I am happy with the ones that (will) buy me a brew. :) ... and  not asking me for my car keys.  ;D

Oh... well...  :shuffle:  I can't promised I'd do neither.  :)

As for Brigitte's question...  pfff... girls.   ::)

Ultra exotic from Italian niche builder.  Benz-based V12.  Lotsa power.  Exquisite finish inside and out.  Silly amounts of money to buy 'em and one of the all-time standards by which most of the really fast machines test on Top Gear are measured.

In addition to all the other answers, it comes with a pair of shoes: http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=11032

Thanks, GD (and all you others).  I get it now.  But, jeebus... $1.3 mil for a car with a name that sounds like a knockoff of Honda?   ???    ;D  (I know, I know - who the fack cares what it's called.)

No not quite that much but still a lot of money. TheBritish  LB is averaging around $2.00 Canadian right now i believe  so its between a half million dollars and roughly $600.000. You can buy a lot of shingles for that.  :)
