The Advantage "Poker Run 40," skipping off the water.

All About Speed (109)
This episode is all about speed, and pure speed is what the Lamborghini marque is all about. Take a look at the Italian speed factory's newest creation, the Murciélago—an automobile that exudes high velocity style. Spend a day with the owner of a valuable collectable 1972 Miura, and examine a vintage Lamborghini anyone can get into, the 1975 Urraco.

Then, join us for a joyride through Southern California with the BMW Riders Club—a group that rides hard and fast. BMW bikes have a reputation for being some of the best touring motorcycles on the market, and the members of the club prove it.

Next, we'll head down to San Diego, Calif., to hit the high seas with Gary Parker. He owns the brand new Advantage Poker Run 40' and loves to show it off. Advantage boats are the marine equivalent of Lamborghini autos, and Parker's boat not only moves and looks great—it's so fast that it spends quite a bit of time in the air.

Finally, meet Steve Saleen, who has established quite a reputation for building fast cars. He customizes Ford Mustangs and created the awe-inspiring Saleen S7, one of the world's foremost "supercars."
