hey 999 thats some great info...looks like the snaparazzis have to work extra time now.
found this pic of 850i on google.

Always felt that the 850i was the best looking BMW .. tho it looks quite unlike one ..

Had seen a maroon-reddish one front close quarters and had fallen in love immediately .. siiiggghhh ...

Yeah sure, the TVR and GT-40 are coming. Along with the 999 and the Brazilian Palio.

lambodude · 23rd September 2005, 19:27

nitrous · 28th December 2005, 12:03

Did this come?? Got any pics of the 850 or GT40 or TVR??

v1p3r · 28th December 2005, 16:29

What?! You guys still believe this chick/dude???

turbo_lover · 28th December 2005, 17:12

whats going ??? isnt the thread starter banned ??
sounds like a hoax to me ...

islero · 28th December 2005, 19:34

BMW's kinda beleivable, but GT40's bit too far, as is TVR......which means BMW might be fake too....LOL.

Ok a bit off topic but anyway...

I was reading this old issue of Evo where there was this article about the TVR Griffith. It said one Griffith had been sent to India some years back (which means a long time back, cos the magazine itself is 4 years old now). Have any of you guys heard of this griffith?
Im not saying this guy's talking about that car, Im just querying.

turbo_lover · 28th December 2005, 19:54

never heard of a griffith in india ... maybe the car was in transit, am sure it would have caught some1s eye if it was still here ...
