Aluminum clinchers :rolleyes:

I build those all the time.

They're clinchers but at least they're tubeless.

At least he deserves it cause I know he works damn hard for it. And that car plus the insurance is a godo chunk of his salary unlike some people who get paid 10x more to hit a ball around.

Is that the one he wrecked?

Good rider. Poor taste.

You don't like it?? I'd love to rock a yellow Lambo'. But my budget doesn't let me trade in my beaten up 617,000km ex-taxi ford :(

boonen has got some ripped arms for a pro cyclist.

hah is that trunk big enough to fit a bike? looks like tom didnt think this one through.

duh, he put a hitch and rack on it.

that's the first thing I'm buyin when i can afford it. hell even if i can't

I didn't think a 6'4" man could fit in one of those

1. Those aren't new wheels
2. He's already crashed it

Most sprinters do...McEwen looks like a body builder.

Two words: Ferrari.

Oops. Only needed one.

If you Google Evo Lancer, you can see a Murcielago getting absolutely owned by a Lancer Evo 9.

Now that's plain funny right there. :)

have to disagree.

mcewan has a neck, therefore he does not look like a body builder.

he's also too tall. :D

Yeah but an Evo Lancer looks like a dumb taxi with a big spoiler compared to the Lambo.

Whatever you do, Tom, don't loan that car to Eddie Griffin!

:eek:

It's not a street racer. Nurburgring: Evo 9 at 8:11, Murcielago at 7:43 = pwned. It's kind of like McEwan beating Cancelara in a sprint: they're both fast but...

as stated previously
Ferrari > Lamborghini

I'd do pretty much anything for a F430.

I'm suprised he can fit in that thing. Deosn't he look taller than it is long?

Lamborghini is the fat slob NFL player's car. Ferrari actually cares who buys their cars and what is done to them.

Yeah, just like stage 3, right? :rolleyes:

Um...only if he's the before picture...:p

Guessing you haven't seen MTV Cribs! Every rich idiot rapper and ball player has a Ferrari.

The colour should be red; Lamborghini wheels used to be made by Campagnolo, so I suppose there's a cycling connection in there somewhere…

I love how people keep pointing out that video. A few years ago google video had the high res version. There are a lot of skid marks on the track from them practicing the 180 "face off" at the end.
Plus, I'm pretty sure on a tight short track, an ariel atom at 1/3rd the price of the Evo can beat both the evo and lamborgihini. And the lamborghini can probably drop the evo like a cheap soup at a track like silverstone with a few long straights. I don't know for sure but I don't think the Evo's geared as tall as the lamborghini.

What the Evo has is a lot of room to take the family with you even though fuel economy for that specific version isn't all that great, albeit better than the lamborghini.

Yeah but unfortunately the rear seats don't fold down.. that was the deal breaker for me.. :(

Whoa, what? Can I buy your Atom?

Yeah, the gap in lap times between the Murcielago and the Evo 9 don't lie...

Um, the real problem with this video is it's a FQ-400 evo. The regular evo is 290-ish horsepower. That was a UK only evo that has 400 horsepower.

I'd hate to be getting in and out of that car if I had sore knees. :)
Worse than getting out of a beanbag

There was a footballer here who said he had to get rid if his Porsche because getting in and out of it was killer on his kness
