F findlay and f nathan. He burned himself with me when I ordered my last car for my son. He dropped the ball.

There was nothing more entertaining than when I drove up to speak with my buddy, the service director, and having another dealership plate on the back with the temporary in the rear window and him seeing that.

cliff burned himself with the Lexus dealership. Ask around about that. Ask what movie he had on when the reps came over for dinner.

Great mechanics and parts guys at the Toy dealership though.

Well I guess it's good that I'm not at the store Nathan is at.

The G.M./Owner of our store is a real stand up guy and I feel I am too.

Cool... Think you can get me an R8 at about 70% off?

I got my tC from Findlay Toyota. Pretty painless process, but it's a Scion so it's hard to screw that up.

ars0n750 · 05-18-2010, 09:53 PM

buellrider · 05-19-2010, 07:22 AM

Well then if that's the case then consider me "uninterested..."

Probably my next toy will be a DB series from Aston. Depending on how the rest of the year turns out I'll part with my GSh and pick one.

The Q5 is by far the nicest driving suv I have had a chance to get my hands on. The options you can get are outstanding and the Nav we offer is by far years ahead than the rest. I hear alot of good things about the Cadi, but it does drive like an suv and the Q5 and Q7 drive like our sedans.

Lamborghini Recalling $350G Car for Fire Hazard

OK, there's a good chance there won't be congressional hearings on this one, but if you are one of the 428 lucky owners of a 2007-2008 Lamborghini Murcielago, this is headline news.

According to the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), welds holding the fuel pumps of the $350,000 supercars in place could fail under stress, resulting in a fuel leak. Given that many owners of the car - which is capable of speeds over 200 mph - often subject their vehicles to forces slightly greater than the ones experienced by your typical Toyota Camry, this is a real concern.

The recall announcement says that if the fuel reaches an ignition source, a fire could result. To date, no accidents or injuries have been reported, and Lamborghini says that it discovered the problem only during testing, but it will be replacing the fuel tanks of affected vehicles, just in case.

If you happen to be in the possession of one of these rare beauties, we'd love to hear your concerns, so please speak up in the comments section at the top of this page. And don't worry, like any recall, repairs are being made free of charge.

Good find thanks will pass this on to our clients.

As you can tell I can find the most obscure items...

buellrider · 06-02-2010, 09:00 AM

Steve, I rather have the DB5...LOL

It's hard to say whether it's the ultimate boy's toy, or simply the ultimate piece of James Bond memorabilia.
But one thing's for sure, when this Aston Martin hits the auction floor, it's bound to make pulses race.
For this particular sports car is the iconic DB5 driven by Sean Connery as 007 in Goldfinger.
Iconic: The Aston Martin driven by Sean Connery in two Bond films is to be sold at auction
Welcome to Q Branch: The adapted DB5 comes complete with all the original gadgets, including bulletproof screen and oil jets and smoke machines in the lights

It is the same car Bond arrived in at an English golf club to play his famous round of golf with Goldfinger.

And it is the one he played a game of cat-and-mouse in with character Tilly Masterson's Mustang car in the Alps.
Two cars were made to be used in the 1964 film, and one has since disappeared.

So this racy little number is the only one left that actually featured in the film, and a year later in Thunderball.
It is the first time ever the DB5 - equipped with an array of gadgets to gladden any Bond fan's heart - has come on the open market.
Which is perhaps why it is expected to fetch bids in the region of £4million when it goes up for sale this year.

In the film, the car's features include machine guns, a bullet-proof shield and revolving number plates.
Bond fan's dream: Sean Connery with Aston Martin DB5 he drove in Goldfinger. The original car is to come out of a private collection for the first time in 40 years and be put up for auction

Superior handling: Bond evaded a succession of villains in style - thanks to special additions to the DB5 added by Q Branch - all that are legal to have aboard are still part of the car
But while the moving parts exist, as do the buttons next to the driver's seat - the guns are not real and the shield may not hold up to genuine ammo.
The ejector seat, activated on screen by a gearstick button, was never operational in reality.
The car, capable of 145mph and 0-60 in 7.1 seconds, was bought from Aston Martin in 1969 by U.S. radio DJ Jerry Lee for $12,000.

The vehicle, which has the number plate FMP 7B, is in perfect working condition and has about 30,000 miles on the clock.
Mr Lee, now a philanthropist aged in his 70s, used to drive it around in the 1970s but it has been held in storage by him ever since.

He is selling it in London, with the proceeds going to an initiative dedicated to solving social problems.
Peter Haynes, of RM Auctions, which is selling the DB5, said: 'It's road legal. The machine guns obviously don't work but you can still press a button inside and it moves them into position.'

Handy for those moments when the traffic warden is approaching.
Mr Haynes added: 'After the car was used in Thunderball, Aston Martin sold it to Mr Lee who has owned it ever since.

Firepower: Machineguns hidden in the parking lights do not work, for obvious reasons, but a button on the dashboard moves them into position

Pay attention 007: Tyre shredders that extend from the car's axles would be a perfect way of getting through traffic jams on the motorway

Ejector seat: For the fickle millionaire, the DB5 comes complete with fast-action ejection device. RM Auctions are keeping tight lipped about whether the seat actually works
'He had to really persuade Aston Martin to sell it to him and they did on condition they could use it for promotional purposes when ever they wanted.
'In fact the car was last seen in public in the 1970s and has been locked away in a private Bond-themed room since then.

'The car is up and running and all the gadgets still work too.

'You can use the smoke screen and oil slick discharge, the revolving number plates and activate the bullet-proof shield at the back.'
The auction takes place on October 27 and Mr Haynes said they are expecting huge interest in it from around the world.

He said: 'Under normal circumstances we would expect classic car collectors to be interested.
Mod cons: Bond's 'SatNav' is still part of the original interior, as well as the ejector seat button in the gear shift
For the man who has everything: Detail of the dashboard, featuring the ejector button and the various switches and dials that unleash Bond's fantastic array of weapons and gadgets

'But because it is 007's car then it should appeal to wealthy people who like collecting cultural iconic items, like Jimi Hendrix's guitar or Marilyn Monroe's dress.'
The DB5 has recently undergone a re-commissioning program to return it to running condition ahead of the auction.
Mr Lee, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, said: 'The James Bond car has brought me much enjoyment for some 40 years.
'Even as I sell it, the car will continue to give me great pleasure as it further the mission of the foundation to do good around the world.'
