Quoted by Martin:

"Ahem....Ed

You were going to go on to say that you are all delighted that you still have me to help with such matters as a close family friend......No?....oh ok then "

I was supposed to be at the Frankfurt Show today and tomorrow!

BUT.... no further explanation required.

At least I will be going to Geneva in March 2010 - let's hope Lamborghini pulls off something equally awesome.

Nice fleet, no Veyron? frown

Has the Reventon dropped any money or will you be pretty much getting back what you paid for it?

I'm hoping to be going to Geneva next year too.. Usually go every year but missed it this time. I want to see a road going Estoque for 2010!!

A few years ago I went to the Veyron Production line and even got to have a little drive in it, it was one of the best days of my life so I can only hope one day I can pursuade the father into one of them..

He likes the idea of the Grand Sport, his ideal combo would be a Grand Sport Sang Noir if there is such a thing, don't know if they could make one or not.

The Rev is holding its own just fine.. Hopefully we will end up with a little bit on top too if we're lucky!

A question for Ed or maybe LamboMartin, but don't Lambo have the opportunity to match a used Reventon with a prospective owner - similar to how Maclaren help with sales of used F1's??

I thought this could work because there must of been more than 20 interested parties when the Reventon was first put on sale.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe it would be better for Martin to answer that one as he will most likely be able to tell you!

Oh really Ed? As you know, I go on press day (it was my 25th Geneva Show this year!) but I do not know if you go on press day or trade day or perish the thought, public days....
Nearer that time I'll talk to my client about this. No promises but hey.

Yes it is possible. I am talking with my dealers and customers in the middle east. To be honest there is a lot of interest in the UK so I think I will be beaten to it!

It comes out a good few times, however we don't really like to leave it parked anywhere for too long as it's quite precious to us as you can imagine... Also it has no front plate so sometimes we try to avoid getting spotted as much as possible smile

Oh ok thats good then.. We always carry plates in the Rev to put in the window anyway incase such an event ever occurred. At the end of the day they are just usually to look at the car more than anything!

I would be surprised to hear that is true TBH. Needed for an MOT, surely?

Lads weekend in Dubai sounds pretty epic mate, and yes I think I can manage to get you a beer when you eventually return to F&I!!
