Ah the aul' orange Lambo. There's already been a thread on this, but it's a serious piece of sex (the car).

impr0v

He must be sick of people pointing phones at him at this point.

EDIT: on second thoughts you don't buy a gallardo in fanta orange if you don't like people staring.

Ye seen this car on Georges street a while back, passed it out on a moped i was driving at the time. And then I wouldn't let him past, ah quality some bus driver was pi**ing himself laughing away. But the width of the car is something else, and there was some noise out of it.

I have to say without a note of jealousy that I don't like the Gallardo and wouldn't buy one if I could afford it -- I'd prefer a 20 year old Countach for my money. It's half a Lamborghini and I hate that that Audi took them down the budget path. What next, a Lambo hatch?

Lorraine GOBBY keane. Nice car she is one massif twat though. ...sake

IrishRover

Yeah, I quite agree with you Dahamsta. The Countach is a much more beautiful car with so much more presence than this, no matter about how impractical it might be. That's kind of the point in a way.

For comparison:

Lorraine Keane a **** with a tash.

Sorry

ehhh, think we get the point :eek:

anywhoo, back to topic. the choice of car is different depending on era you grew up I suppose..

c'mon who'd take a F50/F60/360 over an F40/testarossa :cool:

Gallardos are tiny. Cousin has one, sometimes its parked in here, and I was surprised how little 'presence' it had. Testarossa all the way for me...soon in fact...cant wait.

dahamsta

The Testarossa was cool in it's day, but it dated very quickly and these days it's just an expensive hairdresser's car when you get right down to it. But then I tend to think of Ferrari's as commoner's supercars, with only occasional dips into genius like the F40 and the Enzo.

Lamborghini all the way for me. Although I don't like the Gallardo. And I'd prefer a Diablo to a Murcielago. So I guess I'm moving more towards the Koenigsegg these days. It's the doors, the doors!

Can someone please correct the topic title from 'lambourgini' please, its embarrassing, what if sexy Lorraine was looking in..

I'm not fond of the countach, looks abit dated and thrown together in a kitcar kinda fashion thesedays, hard to fault a black murcielago though, power power power ! wouldn't like to be putting tyres on the hoor though :eek:

I wonder is it Ross O'Carroll Kelly?

I have to agree 100%. The Koenigsegg CCR is one awesome machine, I doubt we'll ever see one on these shores though. Going back to Lambos, I saw a gorgeous Diablo last summer, if I can find the photos later i'll put them up. Now they're two cars with road presence.

dahamsta

Speaking of Ferraris, anyone in Cork seen the kit F355? (I think it's F355 anyway, could easily be wrong.) I saw it when I was driving into Douglas Court Shopping Center and thought that it looked a bit odd - probably the engine note - and sure enough when it pulls up in front of me side-on the offside rear wheel looks supiciously inboard. I nearly cracked up laughing when I pulled in behind it though, honest to god they must be a good 9-12 inches inboard from the arches. It looks like it was built on a Micra chassis or something.

adam

DukeDredd

Seen one in Cork alright Adam - but we pi$$ed ourselves laughing when we heard it & examined it a bit closer. Turned out to be a Toyota MR2 with the ferrari kit nailed on to it. I felt sorry for him...

dahamsta

TBH I don't have anything against kit cars - only thing stopping me from building a '32 deuce is lack of garage space - and it would appear that the MR2 is the de facto donor car for the F355. I just think that if you're gonna do it, do it right, and wheels 9-12" inboard of the arches is just... so... wrong.

He probably isn't finished, but seriously, you don't take a car like that out of the garage until it's finished...

respect to you kersh! super :cool: car

drdre

a lambo is a exclusive car, u will never ever see so many of these around anywhere in the world,whereas ferrari is common nowadays.

but anyway good luck to the guy if it was for his 21st birthday.
or he must have robbed a bank as they are €295,000 over here.:eek:

Kersh

Cheers ciarsd,
Lambos (gallardos in particular) are getting a bit common over here now. New ones too dear for me, and old ones too unreliable and unwieldy to drive. Testarossa is a bit dated, but rarer than a gallardo over here I would say. And I grew up in the 80s......need I say anymore.

Can I have a go? :cool:
When are you hoping to get it?

Kersh

As soon as the last 2 cars I currently own are sold. A mint 308/328 might sway me a bit, or a good 512bbi ,but im pinned on a testarossa, and have been for over a year now. The only bit that will bug me is the 12,500 eu or thereabouts vrt for an 86 one. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

drdre

the Koenigsegg CCR is amazing and the doors are the best bit.:D

Lord Nikon

those doors look like they belong on noddys car, zero street cred once someone like me comes out of the pub laughing and pointing fingers, have to say, a great yoke on nurburgring in GT4 though..

did no one mention the maccy F1 ? with its gold-plated uberpanzer engine which would smoke the lot of these pretenders to the throne.

lol at the doors

i personally think/thought that the McLaren was quite overrated, and is nothing to look at versus some of the cars posted up above.

as for performance well thats another argument.
