A very good mate of mine, a member of the Lambrano's has just bought himself a very nice little Christmas present that he collected Christmas Eve.
A beautiful Black Diablo GT. Only heard about it this morning and of course had to take a look. Took me for a little spin down the M1 this afternoon (it would have been rude not to) 1.5 leptons in 4th and still pulling very very hard. Sounds the absolute bo**cks and much revier than the SV. Blip the throttle and they really spin up quick and the sound is F1 reminiscent. Must have a much lighter flywheel assembly. Flames out the exhaust even on tickover big enough to light my cigarette with but I did not want to loose my eyebrows in the process.
Top man, cars covered in shite, will be washed, polished and cuddled soon. Well as soon as Lambo Danny gets there. smile

That is one hell of a Christmas present. All you need to do now is get some pics.

Did the same thing, bought me a Diablo for Christmas biggrin
Felt like Santa Claus driving it (it's Rosso Diablo), making so many people happy when they saw it driving by smile

You blasphemed! I thought The Lambranos were not to be mentioned in public circles!

Also - let's see... a black Lamborghini, covered in road brine and a few (tons) of grime with only a 'threat-promise' of a clean one day... 'some' velocity mentioned as well...

The owner's surname does include a hy-phen doesn't it?

You are too clever for your own good wink who else could it be. That said he did hose it off to get the road salt off.

PH is a wonderful invention. In the space of five hours you guys have worked out who owns it and where it came from. Cannot tell you what he paid for it but we can all guess the ball park figure. Did you get to do the trip ?

Good-to hear-that the 'orrible-owd' git-is now-returning to-his usual-colour choice once-again these-days!!

Does-this mean-that we-can start-doing like-LCF do/did and replace the first letter of his first name with a $ once more?????

All the GT's where LHD. Never had a problem with left or right hand drive cars. LHD has a bigger resale market

Yes, I know. Getting in/out of car parks in central london and frequenting drive in burger joints were the down sides.
