Took my buddy Paul flying this morning. He met me with his '12 458. I let him fly, he let me drive! We later visited the Lingenfelter collection (he is the Jay Leno of Michigan - he privately owns 150 cars, including a Laferrari, an Enzo, and a tons of Corvettes. Impressive.

 

Suweeeeeeeeeeeet.

 

very nice!!! Sounds like you guys had fun.

 

It doesn't get much better than that!

 

That is a perfect day

 

Ken himself fired up the Enzo. If you haven't heard an Enzo... wow.

The Bugatti Veyron was mightily impressive too. Apparently, at top speed of 250mpg, the quad turbo car will burn through a tank of gas in 12 minutes. The custom only tires cost $25k, made special just for the Veyron, and have to be installed in France for $70k.

This collection is truly world class. They open it up to the public a couple of times a year. Its worth a drive. Very special.

Lingenfelter Collection | 40% Corvettes, 30% Muscle Cars, 30% Exotics? 100% Lingenfelter.

 

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a good day all round.

So, was slow one in the first pic the light-colored one parked in the back?

 

The plane is a 1964 Mooney M20E. That morning we were lazily cruising at 150 mpg. :-)

 

Who says old planes don't get good gas mileage..........or is that MPH?

 

Nice day for you Mr Mike Lanzetta! Awesome in fact. Thx for sharing indeed!!!

 

That Lingenfelter collection is something. Below are some pics I took when I was there a few years ago.

A nice burgundy V8 S pulled up beside me in B'ham this weekend. Not as gorgeous as my white R, but he had a pretty co-pilot and I was driving solo. Not sure who wins on that score!

 

If you guys end up going to any meets this summer (such as the Lingenfelter's C&C) let me know. I'd be up for a cruise.
