Look what Internet Meme sent me in the mail today!

[ATL_Av8r]

I don't get what's going on in here. Did OP get accused of trolling or something? Need some background

A few months back there was a user named "InternetMeme" who claimed to be an uber-rich bond trader or something like that, who was in the market for an F40. Things happened. Details were research...InternetMeme was found to be fake.

Sherpa23F comes along and posts a bagel on an F40 at TCL's request. ATL_Av8r holds out hope that this one is legit. So far it's looking good.

[Sherpa23F]

OP?


Heard about your coupe a few times...

Hi Dave. My coupe has a long way to go before it's as good as yours. Enjoying the journey, though.

[caddy 2 dope]

Wait.. what?
The guy who trolled tcl sent you parts?
Wait.... wtf is afoot? Piggyback trolling?

[MrKevkevL]

I actually took these pics last week when I was getting all the Internet Meme crap and people were calling BS on me.

Okay. I believe it now.

In for more f40!

[turbinepowered]

Yes it could be.

Not very likely though.

Not only have you proven that you own the F40, you've also proven you live in one of those high rises with integrated apartment garage space? Going up!

[Robski92]

Thanks for the pics OP.

[mellbergVWfan]

Epic. Amazing car. And and quite an interesting choice of garage companions.

[danny_16v]

would love to get some sound clips once you install that exhaust! so awesome

Good job on keeping a fire extinguisher near by, lots of these caught fire I heard.

Another note, fourth pic torn carpet........

The sideways pics hurt my eyes.

Good god...

They only catch fire if you subscribe to Jalopnik. Lucky for me...

Not carpet, just a rug on rubber rug mat. Rubber mat is bigger than the rug by a little.

Lay on your side and browse.

[choochoo]

wowzers!

[Punch Dub]

I don't know... There's no schmear on the bagel.
Something smells fishy. You leave clothes in the washer?

[Sherpa23F]

Those wheels are a nice get. Now can you get the sweet enclosed headlights from the LM setup too? BTW the pic of an F40 in a cluttered garage with a washing machine and refrigerator in the background is farking classic.

Here's one of my old car in the same place. That's my detailer's garage. My cars would not look nearly as good if he didn't get them every 6 months. Notice how clean the cars look?

[Chauncey Wellington III]

Holy ****sicles...

[The Holy Molar]

**** yes!

[elmer fud]

either the best pre planed prank ever or a true f40 owner posting on vortex...... either way I like your style.

[Iroczgirl]

I love it. Please continue to show TCL up.

[Sherpa23F]

simple the wheels were made by oz and comisened by Enkei as at that time only a few companies actually have the ability to make magnesium wheels

That makes sense. Thanks for that.

Please, I don't know an F40 owner who hasn't put that on a car yet. We're way popular.

Plus I prefer to imagine those parts are for your fit.

You left out the part where I made a post about suggestions for a new daily driver only to get, when people saw the cars in my profile, the most retarded, vitriolic posts calling me out as some Internet Meme and a troller and other stuff. There are people on here that know who I am and they did chime in but it took me while to figure out what the whole Internet Meme crap was. In fact, I have only read the frist 5 posts and the last 5 in that thread. One of these days I will find it again and read the whole thing.

Not to mention a maintenance nightmare and a death trap.

[cstraw]

Shenanigans,

we need more proof. Please post a picture of your significant other (please don't be gay) wearing a pink bra standing in front of the car. Only then will I be convinced.

Badass car, would love to hear sound clips of the exhaust before and after the changes are made.

[mhjett]

Oh the irony - first the InternetMeme debacle busted by sleuthing TCL detectives, now a real F40 owner tossing a bagel on his spoiler and telling TCL to go f*** itself.

Love it.



There's a guy nearby who regularly brings his F40 to the local cars and coffee. Out of all the crazy stuff I've seen there over the past couple years, that F40 is still tops in my book. In fact it might well be my favorite car evar.

[muffintop]

Hello fellow rocky mountain local, if you would kindly leave your address in my PM box I can get rid of all those useless parts for ya.

[Jordan 191]

Photoshopped bagel!!!!

[roadtripper]

this is basically TCL history. a true high point. The Car Lounge is back. and i don't use capitals lightly. just look at that composition.

i, too, noticed with glee the shabby-ish carpet, but i guess that's just what guys with F40s use to keep grime off their garage floors. we are all just prisoners here of our own device.

thanks for freeing us from the meme, sherpa. your taste in vehicular pleasure is inspiring. may all your inconel exhausts resonate with the screams of dead british bond traders.

Um, that's not my garage floor. That's the rug in a room in my house. Confession: I don't spend a lot of money on banal things like furniture so I have a room in my house with just a rug for my kids to play on. I don't really see the point of furnishing the whole house and no, it's not especially big or mansionesque. I just don't use the whole house. Anyway, it also works great to store some extra parts that I like looking at .

Thanks for the other nice words.

EDIT: Forgot to say extra points for the Eagles reference.

[above8k]

In for Honda Fit pics...

Why don't you own a train, which you could also afford? I want a pic of a bagel on top of your locomotive, good sir.
