totally agree with you TT, I made my best experience by asking people first, be friendly, show interest, talk a little about the car.... bring them some of your pics afterwards .... next time, they welcome you .... or even better things happen

it would be really great that the sales man (dealer), would drove it outside the dealership ...but if you want that you have to had influence 8)

What a nice little dealer, a stunning array of cars! The way they cram the cars in reminds me of our dealer.....

Thanks for the pics, not many but any of the Zonda are welcome.

Now that's what I'm talking about!, why the hell would you need paint on such a beautiful car...it just adds weight . Thanks for the great pics as usual TT, too bad for the cramped showroom...

Very sympathetic exotic dealership. The black Pagani Zonda looks like a stealth figther.

Thanks to shared TT.

Ok, I know that usually when you talk about this stuff, it doesn't happen, but let's say this AMAZING car could end up in the "in depth" section of my website in a little while :shock:

Will try, but now that I have the 350D it's already kinda complicated to have everything with me, camera, leses, batteres, tripod.. sure I have a backpack, but if I would add also a videocamera to the material it will be a bit too much I fear :bah:
