Sudesh , side skirts I was told were apparently a £3,500 extra available on this model . Not sure if you can buy them now but probably won,t be cheap new

Could it be that one car has power steering the other doesn't?

Haaaa! I knew it! You get your own forum and suddenly we don't even exist!

We miss you, the New forum is not the same without all the exotics together, no banter, you all like Lambo's we like Rarri's, pretty boring really.

So....... Bet my Rossa is faster than your Diablo's
Lol , sure you exist , you just to ask yourself why you exist ! We think it,s because it makes our Lambo,s more desirable that,s all lick

To be at the top of any list , someone or something has to be below you , sad but true . Goggle famous Frank Sinatra quotes thumbup
You fezza boyz welcome here anytime , I,m sure the Lambo lads can give you the special treatment you crave

Ohhhh harsh!! That's more like it!

I was talking to a couple of Lambo fans the other day,they really love their Lambo's, they were going for a test drive that very day, we met in the local Audi dealer if I remember rightly?

The Ferrari dealership was at the TOP of the hill and the Audi dealer DOWN towards the bottom.
Lol

Top of the sh-t pile more like biggrin

the yellow 99 roadster is the Rod Stewart one I presume ?
Their are 2 blue scuro cars
The red one at the start of the thread
The orange one in the thread just above

what else ?
Good question , I,ve got pics on my broken hard drive that I can,t access , but from memory
Blue Scuro was in Essex , sold to a guy named Haugton I Think and on ph , other blue scuro involved in a crash cat 3 restored and on eBay a few years ago by a Mr Ravat , I don,t think it sold , two yellow SV,s and the yellow roadster were at Carlo,s at Top Gear cars some time ago , orange one and the red one makes 7 I know , however I was told it was nine by a reliable source , there could have possibly been 3 yellow and 3 blue !

Nice SV , looks to be a 98 , the 99 models had the same dashboard as the 6.0 litre models built in headlights and valve timing management .

the 99's dashboard is slightly different to the 6.0 VT - the vents are in different place and only in the middle - on the 6.0 VT they have one at the door side too, and the Lamborghini badge between the two in the centre.
Didn,t know that , havn,t seen too many 6.0 vt,s up close , same basic dashboard though wavy design and instrument lights set in black glass first introduced on the 99 as opposed to the binnacle dashboard design used on models before 99 . For me it,s probably the telling factor when defining a 99 model to the 98 .

There use to be a lot more pics showing the extent of damage to Mr Ravat diablo , but could only find this !

http://www.wreckedexotics.com/diablo/diablo_201001...

From memory of the previous pics I saw it wasn,t just shunted up the rear , looked to me like the driver lost the back end and spun .

True , damage appears to be superficial at first glance , main thing with me ( as it was for sale at the time I was looking ) was that maybe the frame got twisted and engine mounts damaged . But if it drives ok then not a problem . Damage must of cost in excess of 25k though just for new parts , not sure how insurance companies work nowadays but if it was a third party who pranged it maybe to keep customer sweet they decided pay out .
