Over the weekend Aya made a post asking the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It is a pretty easy question for me to answer. When I was a kid I was fortunate enough to get to sit in one of the preproduction !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . With a total of 17 production cars and two preproduction cars made I would say the W8 counts as a rare car and I was pretty fortunate to ever see one, much less get to sit in it.

you lucky duck. I thought I was the king of the world sitting in a Countach when I was a kid, and riding in an F1 later in life, but the Vector takes the cake. I think I had 2 posters of this thing on my wall as a kid

I saw one at the RM Auction in Monterey in August. The door was open and I was very tempted to jump in, but if you enhance the third photograph you'll see a security guard right there.

that's incredibly awesome! Did you guys hit 231mph going down 95??

haha no, though I did hit 80 in a 25, maybe, depends on who is viewing this

doing 25 in an 80 is just as dangerous

I didn't get to sit in it, but I saw this at Supercar Sunday earlier this year.

I believe it's a WX-3

I'm jealous of that ride in an F1. They may not be as rare as the W8, but I'd still rather see an F1.

I wish I could trade you! The Vector is just the epitome of want for me. But then again I am 35 years old, so I grew up with the Vector being one of the "things" of the time
