In a Flash...

Flash Gordon · 12-06-2011, 03:10 PM

Hey, Guys. Taz and Barry suggested that I post an introduction over here after I surfaced on the radar in Barry's "Happy Christmas" thread and got pinged. lol. I've been lurking about for a half-year or so here... I go by the same screen name on most of the forums I frequent: Pelican, L-Talk, L-Power, VCA site et. al. Currently keep a Gallardo, 930 and Viper GTS for the "fun" cars. I pretty much dig anything fast and/or exotic. I don't care if it's a Honda EG hatch with a motor swap, an old-school muscle car, old vs. new Ferrari.. whatever.. I'm down. I like the feel of this place, I think I'll stick around...

Regards, Rob Gordon

Welcome to FLife Rob

Good to see another car guy regardless of the badge.

Ferrari may bring us all here but we all have other great cars - feel free to share any along with the experiences.

I do have one request ... Kodak moments!

There really are a great group of guys here - enjoy

I agree ... but for once ventured to rise above the past.

It was tempting and FWIW felt akward

tazandjan · 12-06-2011, 07:09 PM

Rob- Welcome. Everybody with last name Gordon seems to pick up the Flash nickname, just like every guy I have known with last name Waters was nicknamed Muddy.

Hope you stick around and catch the Ferrari fever, even though you already have some really nice cars.

Always good to have another lambo owner here

Flash Gordon · 12-07-2011, 09:15 AM

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Roberto, I've followed the odyssey of your Lamborghini Roadster on the L-forums. Looks like you should have it in country by the spring? Outrageous machine; I'm considering one myself.

Champagne, I've tried to post a couple of pictures below. Crummy pics, but all that I have...

360 Modena · 12-07-2011, 10:58 AM

Welcome to FL Flash

We have a similar Lambo to yours who shows up every Sunday at Annapolis Cars & Coffee. He calls it his "Pumpkin Car." I love it!

Glad to have you here and thanks for the pics.

Pictures look great as does that license plate!

You will fit right in ... puff puff pass

Barry · 12-07-2011, 01:06 PM

Welcome again Rob.

Nice collection of cars. Diverse, each fun in its own right. Hope you enjoy F-Life (and yes, no matter what anyone says, we'll try to get a Ferrari into your garage

)

tazandjan · 12-07-2011, 01:10 PM

Barry got it right. Front mid-engine, rear mid-engine, and rear engine. That pretty much covers it for high performance cars.

wetpet · 12-07-2011, 03:40 PM

Def get the lambo. Holds lots of hooters girls.

Thanks guys. Good point, Taz. I love the 930 and Viper b/c they are raw, visceral and constantly trying to kill me when I drive them. lol.

Keeps me on my toes; no arse saving gizmos.

The G is downright civilized in comparison. Ha.

Barry, I won't need much convincing on the F car front. I'm a believer. Big fan of the 360 CS and SCUD. And... 308, 338, 348, 355, TR etc., for that matter!

Thanks, Jimmy. You have some beautiful vehicles, my friend. Yes, the Miura's have appreciated considerably over the past decade or so. Rolling pieces of art for sure!
