Hello all,

Like most of you on this forum, I am a massive fan of Automobili Lamborghini. Starting last year I decided to create a photographic collection of the brand, trying to capture the cars from each period with all the variants. Unfortunately due to not getting much business this year photography wise I haven't been able to meet anyone with such cars to help fill the collection.

So as a big favour, would anyone be able to help fill in the blanks from my collection. I would very much appreciate it and be very grateful. I am able to travel to where you are.

I know that some will be more than impossible to get but if I can do the vast majority it would be a great help.

so far I have managed to photograph...

Urraco

Countach 25th anniversary

Diablo with Jota pack

Diablo roadster


I would relove to shoot all I have so far except for the Urraco.

Many thanks,
Damian.

Me either... usually. But those plates draw the eye away from the main subject of the picture, the beautiful cars.

Damien,
how exotic do they need to be. Happy for you take photos of mine but sadly only a "cooking" Gallardo 560-4 but it is lime greeen!! Let me know if it helps. PS not offended if it is deemed too ordinary as I accept it is not nearly as exotic (or erotic!) as the ones you have already taken but at least it has an ordinary number plate!

How fortunate thet they're not your plates and not your cars then. I wouldn't take plates too seriously, they are just fun (just like the reason for owning a lambo), they aren't permanent.

Infact my Peter plate was removed 2 years ago. The car thankfully wasn't destroyed and is doing well. wink

Indeed and usually I do not, no offence meant by the comment perhaps it's the font of the plate who knows, the plates just don't look right, the car of course looks great (it is a Lambo afterall).
As said no offence meant it's simply an opinion, each to their own and all that smile.

It's cool, I do kinda agree really. If I see a car with someone else's name on it, leaves me cold as it's not my name I guess and personal to them only. I put the Peter plate on it for a while just to make me smile. It's a relatively hard and expensive name to create on a number plate unfortunately so wasn't prepared to pay 100K+ for the perfect plate. Was a bit ruined when my so called number plate dealing friend borrowed the money to buy the blue car and put his Peter plate on it.

Nice pics by the way Damian, especially the top one. The Murci is still ok to do when you're ready.

People who find number plates offensive are a little strange IMO.

However, I had a plate N26 LAG and turned in to to N2 SLAG wink

I thought it was funny. Got pulled by the police once to which I educated them the word slag originates from welding. That didn't go down to well and told me to sort it out...which I didn't smile

Owned the car for 6 months with the plate on and sold it like that.

Had a few people make amusing and nice comments about the plate. All just a bit of fun but if you're gonna find any plate offensive it would've been that, not someones name.

Lol
Well Pete, if you want to make me a great offer!
Was out in glasgow with the QV on sunday and parked outside a coffee shop. It still attracts an amazing amount oof attention. My mate didn't park his R8 behind it allegedly as he thought the space would have gone but possibly detracting attention away!
the white white combination does work best IMO although I do love all the Lambo cars!
Your included
Paul
