Pagani Zonda F, my buddy said it was $1.5million(?) Incredible!!!

You can see in the 3rd picture that there are a bunch of masked cars around, they are all brand new AMGs, MBAMG of Germany picked this dealership to do testing at and store all the new AMGs. There are about 40 brand new taped up AMGs just sitting there ready for the German mechanics to start testing.

One of the cars with the cover on it had a Dodge Viper body kit on it just to throw people off so they don't know it's a Benz, I think it's the new SLC. They also had other SLs that didn't have any badges on them, I'm thinking they are the new SL 65 AMG Black Series.

I'm so pissed, I gave my digi cam to my gf to hold last night and forgot to get it back!!! So sorry for the pic quality, they are from my cell phone. My buddy is going to call me when they start working on them so I'll try to go back with my cam and take more pics.

Saw a Pagani Zonda in Monte Carlo on June 12 when my wife and I went there for a visit!

The plaza in front of the casino and the Hotel de Paris was filled with exotics driven from the "Firenze to Monte Carlo Rallye"! Sat down at the Cafe de Paris and watched them parade one at a time around the plaza for a duration of at least 2 hours. What great timing for a vacation!

Lined up were an Enzo, an F40, an F50, several 430's and 380's, a 275MM, a 612 Scaglietti and a 599 Fiorano, an Aston DB9 and Vanquish, a Carrera GT, 997 Turbos, a couple of SLR's, plus several Bentley GT's. Saw so many beautiful trophy women to boot!

Some of the owners drove all the way from the UK (right hand drive Astons)!

However to me, the star was that rare Zonda! We were in car heaven!
