cormie

one day... one day the lp640 will be mine!

drdre

very nice, :eek: but would still love one of the pagani zondas

smarty

Who would have thought you could have a lime green car and it would still look so good!

cormie

Dre, I don't think the panzagi has anything on the lambos myself, looks a bit naff.

I'd still never go for the lime green either:o

Was there anyone giving test drives:D

Neither would I. If I were to get a lambo, it would have to be orange.

Always liked the Diablo. It is hard to believe it is about 16 years old now.

Funxy

Yea the diablos are fabulous. I swear the lime green color looked amazing in the flesh. Totally overshadowed all the other colors and i didnt expect to think that myself! I wish there we're test drives hehe

A potency-proven Ken Shabby testicle is available at any time to someone that can provide me with unfettered access to this SE30 Jota.

lol.

Would have killed to have been there that day. I've seen two Lambos in my life both were only Gallardos too! It's now my goal to see a Murcielago and a Miura before I die.

And I'd probably go for a Zonda too.

dahamsta

The Gallardo is a hairdresser's Lamborghini.

cormie

panzagi? haha, I'm not familiar with that name and just typed what I thought I remembered it being called:o

QZ, I'm actually serious about buying a Murcielago LP640. All I need is the money... if I get it, I'll let you look at it:cool:

unkel

I'll have a Murcielago myself. Canary yellow. I'll keep me balls too

cormie

I used to always like the yellow.. but when I saw this, I just wanted it, as is:


Just wondering when I do get my murcielago, will I have to put a reg on the front?

EDIT: Just look at it!! look at them wheels.. sigh.. one day:o

a hummer on track :eek: i wouldnt fancy that at all

Funxy

Can u imagine youd feel as if you were about to roll off the side of a cliff with the height of that But then the lambo would bring ya back to the real thing! I just think its a cool idea to have two so different drives for the day!

TheBazman

Got a spin in a Diablo around a year ago in the UK- on a dual carriageway - went up to 140 mph in what seemed like 3 seconds! He bombed through a speed camera which I mentioned to him had flashed. His response "dont worry I have the number plates taken off" !!. Saying that I cant imagine there are too many silver Diablos in his locality

a Range Rover Sport would do the job for me and maybe a F430

Yup, the aim is to get from this:

Only about €300,000.00 to go:D

If you are ever going to buy a Diablo make sure that you check that it is actually a Lamborghini you're buying...this "Diablo" below is a replica.
Apart from the non-standard (Murcielago) colour and the X-reg, the panel fit is atrocious (especially around the front lid and the door opening), the dash binnacle isn't right and the back wheels don't fully fill the wheelarches.
On the other hand you could pick this up for about €45k and impress your mates who probably wouldn't know any better

[/QUOTE]

Funxy

True the green one turned out to be a replica along with about 3 others from the show but in person it looked very very convincing. And it was my favorite color of all the cars at the show :eek: There was something about the color that hit you unlike the usual yellows and oranges there

AJ!

The Diablo 6.0 is my favourite Lambo ever but I wouldn't say no to a Gallardo Spyder.

Santa Claus

Personally I'd have to go for this colour scheme

Funxy

I dont know why but i just dont think soft tops suit lambos I know a hardtop would take too much weight to do but even something like the old diablo roadster roof i think would look much better then the latest ragtops they released

dahamsta

I don't know whether the Diablo mentioned is a fake or not, but I would like to add that Lamborghini: a) will paint your car any colour you ask for; and b) at least pre-Audi and like all Italian car builders, were not known particularly for fit and finish.

adam

Funxy

Like is right that diablo was found out to be a fake after the show, but hardly anyone and none of the officials seem to spot it on the day. Tho you can see in the photo the bonnest isnt the cleanest fit, however it was parked next to another 6.0 and they looked so similar that you just wouldnt expect a kit car to be of that high quality! :eek:

smarty

What was the green one built on?

AFAIK it's constructed around a dedicated spaceframe chassis.

BTW a couple of weeks ago Autocar had a few of pages on the event. Among the pictures were many of the had loads of photos of the fakes and a caption which said 'spot the phoney'...which they placed on a picture of a real Countach.

Funxy

Yup its all built from scratch, seems like that green one was sold for £40,000:

I must say i couldnt drive a replica of such an amazing car around, i just think it takes away from the real thing

cormie

Yea it definitely does. It just wouldn't be the same, ok, you'd still get the stares and everything, it's like wearing fake tan.... I think? haha

Although it is the sheer style of the LP640 I love, if there was an option to drive without using the full 6L engine for some journeys, it would be handy, save the oul petrol;) The ones on that site look very dodgy around the bonnet and the wheels don't look the best either. I mean put one of them against the pic I posted of the LP640 and you can tell straight away there's something not right.

Funxy

Thats true (fake tan, class comparison ) but in person the color was so amazing too. Plus i had not ever seen a diablo in person, only in pics and i was blinded to the fit and finish part of it to be honest. Specially as it was around all sorts of lambos and some very very old ones that obviously didnt have the fit and finish of modern sports cars, but they were still lambos all the same

I tell you what I am so glad that Fiesta hasn't given you any problems (that I heard of anyway) because I would have felt so bad if it did. I felt guilty for ages as well about not letting it go cheaper to you. At least by this stage even if something does go wrong you've had some good use out of it.

Anyway, as for the lambo, I think you can pause the saving for a short while and go and spend £380 on a test drive for god's sake!

cormie

Well I have no problems sending a mail in rebate for some of the cash back for the Fiesta if you still have that guilty conscience cuz I'm in debt and it would help:D

No need for a test drive, I'm sold on that picture alone:)
