Nice Logo's, now where's the rest of the car ;) Haha, j/k

Diablo Roadster pics PLEASE! :D

[Baltoman]

omg you teaser.. ME WANTZ TO SEE PICCYSS

[Eudemon]

Even without seeing the Diablo badge on the engine I knew it was a Diablo because 1) the engine itself and 2) the firing order!

 

More pics !!

[YeOldeTDUMan]

OK time for some pics of the cars

 

The Lambos all turned up in convoy ... (yes everyone was asking how a GT40 got in there ... but it was original so was sort of forgiven!)

with a stunning Miura, or 2, ...

and including some Lambos people don't often think of ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000186.jpg

 

and some that are VERY new ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000191.jpg

 

and a classic I'd love to own.

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000209.jpg

 

Every type of Italian car was pretty much covered, from Fiat ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000232.jpg

 

to Ferrari ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000239.jpg

 

via Lancia ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000238.jpg

 

and Maserati ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000242.jpg

 

and not forgetting Alfa, ...

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000257.jpg

 

but nothing from De Tomaso, Pagani or the French/Italian mix called Bugatti.

 

And the car I wanted to drive home ... well either the Espada of this ... (and no I don't mean the GT40 again creaping into the background)

That Muira is gorgeous! :D Can't wait to see more!

[KoenigseggBG]

Awesome pics, dude. Love the Italian cars. :drool:

[The Queen]

That Countach is owned by some guy called Paul on Pistonheads. He was at the Knockhill Supercar Sunday also!

 

Pretty much immaculate condition and extremely stunning to the eye :)

[Mb]

More Lambo, more, more, moreeeeeeeee :D

[Nodz86]

Like the photo's Hybrid. Did you manage to get round the Museum aswell??

[YeOldeTDUMan]

yeah popped into the little museum too, I won't post any pics here tho of them ... I haven't uploaded them! ... all the italian cars were parked in front of the entrance ... everyone else had to park up at the normal car park ... they were even letting you take your car for a spin round the Aston test track for some quids ... not me tho.

 

so time for some more cars ...

 

What shall we start with ?

 

How about a Countach ...

Remember the lovely Miura ?

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000252.jpg

 

Well it wasn't the only one !

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p174/Hybrid_IV/Auto%20Italia%20-%20Sept%2008/P1000251.jpg

[YeOldeTDUMan]

Oh found out about the GT40 ... the woman who drove it brought it along as her Espada was being repaired ... unfortunately it doesn't sound like the car was original ... but I'll forgive her as she owns an Espada

[CarMadMike]

WOW, Nice pictures!

 

But, I have to say i was nearly sick at the site of that pearlescent Diablo VT, Eurgh!

[Eudemon]

The blue Miura is more rare due to it being an SV though there's a car even rarer than that and that's the SV-J Roadster!!

 

And damn, honestly any Lambo in that stunning pearl metallic orange always looks outstanding and truly drop dead gorgeous. Loving the plate on the white superleggera, wonder how the DVLA never caught that one! :D

 

Do you have any hires closeup or single shots of the orange SV though, the SV with black wheels and silver rims has always been a favourite of mine though black is crazy too for a Lambo.

 

MORE PICS!!

[YeOldeTDUMan]

Well that's most of my pics ... apart from a load from inside the museum ... perhaps I've just seen too many cars in my time that I don't take that many these days ...

 

I could see if any of the girls, who I know took lots of pics of the cars, have any of the Orange Diablo ... my dad wanted the Black Murci

[iBilo]

omg i saw that ferrari f430 scuderia on the a1!!!! not even joking.

[The Queen]

.Loving the plate on the white superleggera, wonder how the DVLA never caught that one! :D

 

Same here. That will be "shoebag" from Pistonheads also! He used to own an orange Diablo 6.0 litre with the plates "36 AC" iirc. Looks stunning in white compared to the normal blacks and greys.

 

I also love the other cars especially the purple Diablo SE30. I'm sure someone from scotland owns or has owned that at one point as it featured in "Octane" a while back and there was a picture of it right beside the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh ;)

[Mb]

MORE PICS!!

SV-J Roadster is damn awesome! I saw one on Spa a while a go.

Topic Stealing ftw. :p

 

Awesome pictures! Much hot Lambo's there! Really awesome cars and some awesome license plates!

[Eudemon]

I also love the other cars especially the purple Diablo SE30.

At first glance I also thought it was an SE30 but look at the plate then look where you see it again. :D

[KoenigseggBG]

Woooow, LP560-4, Gallardo Superlegerra, Murcies, Galardos, Diablos...aweesome. :woot:

[The Queen]

At first glance I also thought it was an SE30 but look at the plate then look where you see it again. :D

 

Huh? I was sure that used to be an SE30. Maybe it's just me then :p;)

[TDU 505]

How i wished there was a massive asteroid that hit that exact place!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[CarMadMike]

How i wished there was a massive asteroid that hit that exact place!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[Nige]

[ExplosiveGoats]
