Discuss.
Does it matter?

To me the term supercar used to mean a very fast, exotic, exciting looking car unattainable to all but the seriously wealthy - something you very rarely got to see on the road.

Nowadays they're to be seen regularly, I certainly see plenty of Lambo's, Ferrari's and McLarens on my commute so many of them have lost that exclusivity and are no longer 'supercars' in the original sense.

Pagani Zonda anyone?

Aberdeen is a microclimate of astons/lambos/rarris, so not an uncommon sight, I agree it's a wee shame.

I'll take your Pagani, and raise you a Koenigsegg... :wink:

Wasn't he involved with music used in Miami Vice?
You get the prize :) Don't think he was involved in Miami Vice, but I could be wrong. I am a big fan of Moroder - a real pioneer of electronic music. This is one of my fave Giorgio tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjGAJFrwm90
Back on the off-topic - Moroder is on Jools Holland tonight @ 10pm Beeb Deux :thumbsup
