Ride With Valentino & Ch 4 "N1GEL"

[Nige_M]

Gents,

For those that haven't seen it yet, there's a video on YouTube of Valentino Balboni giving me a ride in an LP640. What a star !

Also, my Lambo featured in the Ch4 program "Your so Vain" (UR 50 V41N)....

So the new Limited edition Lambo is to be named after Valentino ?

I'm presuming that you're Nigel 1 then

Quite an interesting comparision between the two of you.

does anyone else think that N2GEL is really really creepy.. ???

[Gring]

I think N2GEL liked N1GEL a little too much

[Nige_M]

Yes the Ch 4 program was pretty terrible, and has it's own rather negative thread on:

Re post above.... Nigel 2's a nice (if rather insecure) bloke, but I think he was after my plate not my body !

N1GEL

I watched it in amazement that they'd managed to drag out so little material into a full lenght documentary?

Did you sell the A55 HOLE? My dad saw that on a yellow lambo in St Albans the other day.

Diablo Pete should have been on that show

Thought the program was interesting and agree with the OP view of nigel2! did seem like it was a DIY program that was padded out for half hour and didn't really say anything much about anyone other than nigel2!

Loved the garage though! When John posted pics of it on here some months ago I immediatly sent it to my mate who is an Architecht and they showed it all over his office! Great design!

The 6.0L diabo is probably the only car i would swap my QV for!

Nice that they showed you allowing other people to see/sit in the car! True spirit of lambo owners!

Yeah, I thought the same thing when watching it - was more just focusing on a guy who was insecure, only reason kept watching it was for the lovely Diablo bits. Cool garage as well.

That car is identical to the LP640 we saw last September sitting in the middle at the entrance, I wonder if it is his or a test car? I also saw him driving a 40th whilst there but i thoink that was a test drive.

Anyone know what he owns personally?

Paul,

You know you want to, mind you that is a very tough choice. Probably and hopefully a lot user friendly.

Perhps with the 4wd and ABS I might be able to avoid driving it into long grass and hitting rocks with the wheel! Suppose it does make sense for an old guy like me! lol

... it's better now Nigel, even the nosecam moments!!

I couldn't figure out why he thought N2 GEL was the second best number for someone called Nigel. Surely N11 GEL or even NIII GEL would be preferred.

As has been said, he just came across as extremely insecure.

how is that a legal alphanumeric plate?

[onemorelap]

Not a fan of personal plates but did appreciate the sense of humour of a guy in a Yellow Gallardo spider that came past me the other night proudly sporting the reg EG0 2 BIG.
