because that makes sense

interesting that the photographer thought adding a Piaggio doing it's best Robbie the Robot impression would help in the sense department

This is why some people can't have nice things.

I don't get it, if you have the money why not?   Can't stand it??      It would have looked a lot better in a natural brown saddle leather.   In fact being an old auto body man that is what I always wanted to do.  A 73 vette in saddle leather, well oiled so it would look like an old pair of boots............

I guess it's classier than a fur-covered Hayabusa, but it's the same principle. :P

I want to hate it on the grounds of the rich spending ridiculous amounts of money on ridiculous things

But

It looks good

And

Leather and automobiles isn't a new idea

Putting leather on automobiles might not be a new idea, but it's usually done with a little more reservation.

I think it looks re-goddamn-diculous.

I'm curious what the leather weighs and how long the bonding will last?

Post by: RAT900 on September 06, 2011, 02:21:02 PM
hmmm leather & bondage....

wonder what the increased drag would be on the surface vs. a waxed standard finish

I think the crown jewel for that exercise would be a set of spinners

and maybe a badge that says "Harley Davidson Edition"

But then wouldn't have to have a set of Tassels hanging off the Mirrors?

;D

I got to admit, it does look good.  Obviously the owner has F U $ and this seemed like a brilliant idea.

I will say this: It is the best looking all-leather Ferrari I've ever seen.

In fairness, it's also the worst.

And the only.

. . . .

God I hope that cost a huge amount of money. Like a tax on daft ideas.
