On the clip show before the last episode, they show a clip of Newman getting out of a Lambourgini (sp?) and I recognized it, but I can't think of what episode it is from. I have watched carefully for it, and have never seen that scene in a episode. What episode is it from? or if that clip is two separate clips, what are the episodes? thank you, i have been wrestling over this for a long time now.

It's from the one were Kramer started the Peterman reality bus tour. Elaine had came up with the ideal to just sell tops of muffins and Mr Litman stole her idea and opened up the store called "top of the muffin to you!".

That episode with Newman arriving in the black car was at the end of "The Muffin Tops" (#147). It was a parody of what a "cleaner" (someone who comes and gets rid of evidence/dead bodies) would do. And in this case, he was there to "clean" the muffin tops. Quite funny.

It was also a parody of the cleaner scene in Pulp Fiction.

Correct. Newman was a parody of Harvey Keitel's "Wolf" character in Pulp Fiction.

BTW, it was not a Lamborghini, it was an Acura NSX, and the scene was cut from the original episode for syndication, so it only exists now in the clip show.

I know I've seen that scene at the end of the episode every time I've seen it in syndication.

Trust me. The final scene of the yndicated version of that episode begins with Newman walking into the muffin top store.

Oh, I thought you meant the entire scene. Still, I swear I remember seeing the NSX in syndication.

Seems reminiscent of both films. To me, the clincher was when Newman used the line "If I am curt, then I apologize." This was extremely similar to Keitel's line in Pulp Fiction, "If I am curt with you, it is because time is a factor." BTW, Keitel also drove up in an expensive sports car in the PF scene, in fact it may have been an NSX as well.

I'll have to do a bit of research to be 100% sure though.

It is only shown for a couple of seconds - directly head on when he arrives and
directly from behind when he leaves.   Looks like this photo (without the NSX
letters on the front)      http://nsx.crosslink.net/nsxpogallery.html
