Ah, the twins!

Supposedly there are three of them, so they are really the Playboy triplets.

These two drove the Mercedes, the third stayed home to provide phone support.

Thanks, I also just saw Robin has a couple pics of it in his LA thread.

So yeah, that Bus has a Porsche 3.2 motor and 5-speed.

Thought it looked familiar....

Very cool pics, I was just in San Diego too. I wish I had been there just a little longer to catch this event. It always reminds me of the old Cannon Ball Run movies.

Given the current state of the world economy, it was difficult to watch.

High points of the day were the female presenter of the US channel SPEED TV, Ashley Van Dyke, bitching about having to wheel her Louis Vuitton luggage around the corner to the hotel door.

Apparently this constituted the whole event being 'completely f***ed up'.



And a leggy/busty blonde bimbo kicking the tires of her boyfriends dead Lambo as it was lowered off of a tow truck, having lasted only 450 miles of the 3,000 mile road trip, broken water pump.

She then proceeded to slam her LV hand bag onto the roof of the Lambo, as she unpacked her unfeasibly high heels and other 'essentials'

You can see the Lambo on the truck in the background above - behind Ms moan-a-lot.

Life's a bitch!
Ashley have made a "big" name for herself on the Ferrari forum, a very controversal character. The fun begins at page two... http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthr...ghlight=ashley

One more... http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthr...ghlight=ashley What makes this post funny is that Ronnie430spider is the previous owner of my Ferrari.
He is the one in red


I don't admire whiney, stuck-up, waste o' space, super filthy rich individuals. To me watching them is entertainment for me.

Once in a while we need to get a good laugh in life, and I appreciate these characters putting on such a natural show for us. LOL!
