but I always wonder why people selling such expensive and rare objects take such crappy pictures... it just doesn't make any sense. I has a twin-turbo 8-series but can't afford a decent digital camera?
really...

and how about some pics of the turbos,intercooler, and the manifolds.from the pics provided,it just looks like some sort of cold air intake [paranoid]

looks to me like he wanted the alpina B12 but either couldn't afford it or can't drive a manual!! oh and just because your stinking rich doesn't necessarily mean that you waste your money and time on things like digital cameras when you could be buying and playing with a Ford GT!!!!

Not buying a good digital camera is not too bad. In the book of world records, there is an entry for the cheapest woman ever. Her son said that his toe hurts, she went around looking for a free clinic, when she found one, they had to amputate the whole leg because of some infection, the worst parts is that she had millions of dollars. Now that is cheap. This guy probably just doesn't care about digi cams and bought an auto because he is crazy about power and auto's, those don't really mix in my mind but I guess people like that exist.

Power and autos mix in some settings. For a drag racer, automatic is the way to go. For a turbocharged car, like the above 850, an automatic is often nearly as fast as the manual, because the automatic keeps the boost up between shifts.

A normal 850 is probably better suited to an automatic anyway, given its hefty weight it is more GT than sports car, but an 850csi is another story . . .
