  1. Lamborghini has cultivated an image for fast and exclusive supercars, but the Reventon broke the mold. Although rumors at one point suggested that the exotic automaker would increase the production run, Lamborghini stuck to its guns by producing just 20 examples as originally promised, all of which were spoken for almost immediately after the announcement was made despite a whopping million-euro price tag. Now the last one has rumbled out the factory gates in Sant'Agata Bolognese into the hands of one elated new owner. Well, we'd be elated, but the car's owner was instead described as "understandably delighted". That's British understatement for you. The car was sold from a dealership in Birmingham, England, which had the honor of hocking the only Reventon to make it to the car-crazed UK. Fortunately for British supercars fans, the owner – whose identity was not disclosed and his face blurred out in the photo – pledges to drive the machine and will start by driving it across Europe from Italy to Engand.

  2. No I don't build cars ... I work for an engineering design consultancy and one thing I've done a lot of is computer simulation of car crash tests. So I know a 'little' about cars and how they're built. I've also worked on lots of non-car stuff too. As to how are things going ... badly ... the recession is hitting hard and it's only going to get worse at the current rate if it lasts a while. I've no idea about Hydrogen powered cars ... never studied much about engines ... worked on a few electric vehicles in my time though, but only on the structure side and not the powertrain

    1. Nige I think there may be a 'premium' theme for you and your love of NHL I've already downloaded the Fable 2 and Forza 2 premium Themes they've not bad
    2. Burnout Paradise - 3.4GB Soul Calibur IV - 5.9GB
    3. I'm loving it ... looks nice and fresh and modern in this ipod world we live in Might have to go and buy the 120G drive at the weekend ... especially as I've just found out how much my mortgage is dropping thanks to the recent 1.5% cut ... you've got to love tracker mortgages! As to things I'd change ... well apart from the obvious of more clothing options for your avatar ... and I haven't played with the party stuff yet so I can't comment on that ... it would be cool if people avatars stood infront of their backgrounds rather than the one you'd selected ... but that would required lots of data to be sent rather than the simple coding of what you've selected for an avatar ... oh have you noticed they smile and laugh if you hit the bumper buttons when you're modding them ! Oh and I like the fact you can 'clean' your played games of all those trial arcade games you downloaded and played but never bought Overall a BIG thumbs up from me ... 360, welcome to the modern world!
    4. It was always going to arrive as I thought the LP560-4 was the Gallardo these days and so they were always going to update the Spyder As to do I like it ... 1. It's Italian 2. It's a convertible 3. It's a Lambo ! Yes I want one ... just trying to work out IF I can buy myself a Lambo for my 40th ... but not a Gallardo tho
    5. Well been to the forum a few times during the day and all I keep on reading in the chatbox is Nipper flaming the new dashboard. So ...
    6. yeah made me wonder whether to just pop down Argos (so some other store that sells xbox stuff) and buy the 120G drive
    7. Well new dashboard/desktop wasn't available at 8am this morning However a photosharing util for the new enviroment and also a gamertag picture to download that enters you into a prizedraw (region dependant) were avail
    8. Oh a little correction ... with some car companies the rear pillar is always called the D pillar whether it has a B or C pillar or not ... and sometimes you have a combined C/D pillar ... all very confusing ... trust me!
    9. khevo - yeah no photomode ... just good old camera photography of my tv Nipper - I'll pm you as people might not want to know the story
    10. God you kids have a wierd perception of Beauty ... Firstly ... Gallardo ... nice looking car ... but someone has murdered that one AMV8 ... too stumpy ... DB7 is mile better MC12 ... an Enzo in drag ... and that's an F40 in the background Next thing some kid will be saving a Scooby or an Evo is beautiful ... I'd hate to think why you think a beautiful woman looks like As to beautiful cars ... Anyone of these IS beautiful ... DB7 Muira E-Type Series III 250 GT California Spider SWB (no not the modern thing ... the 60s one) Alfa 8C Competizione DB5 I've seen all apart from the Alfa (surprising really) ... and all of them are equally beautiful!
    11. Well the world changes depending upon some of your choices and quests you do As to your character ... Well there's Good vs Evil and Pure vs Corrupt ... one effects your skin which changes from pale and cracked up to tanned and the other gives Horns or a H A L O (I think) One of the Melee stats give your muscles (it's pretty obvious) Skill - makes you taller (to do with the olden days when tall people were the archers with longbows) Will - gives you the veins (blue if your Good, red if your Evil ... I think) There's lots of discussion as to all the possible Hero combinations and what the look like, as you need to include Neutral too. Oh your dog changes from neutral to either a golden retriever like mine or a doberman if your evil
    12. Well it seems strange that BMW would test with banded tyres as next season is slicks. They sort of look like I thought they would ... a modern formula 1 car with all the aero stuff removed from the main body and then wings of an early 90s car ... (just do a google on FW14 to see what I mean), although the rear wing looks narrower than a 90s Perhaps the car is still a development one as I didn't think any launches were till Jan next year
    13. Well as a few of us from the forum have ventured forth into Albion I though I'd start a thread where people can post a pic of their Hero. This is my first Hero and her dog called "Cat". She's 100% Good and about 90% Pure (she's was 100% at one point), she's an expert Riflewoman with a sideline in Will but is useless with a sword. My second hero is still in development and he'll be Evil and a melee master
    14. Bentley ... well it's a gentleman's car ... but in a different sort of league Car freak gets it though ... I was waiting for some to say 'it has hints of Ford Capri (European version)'
    15. an easy one for you while I pop off down the pub for lunch ... Make and Model please
    16. found it on a google ... it's an AML Lanta However I think it's a FAIL as it looks like it's a one off from some bloke in a garage! http://www.autoabeceda.cz/rarity/splneny-sen-aml-lanta.htm or google translated to english http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autoabeceda.cz%2Frarity%2Fsplneny-sen-aml-lanta.htm&sl=cs&tl=en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 If I'm declared the winner I'll post a car later
    17. Yes it's a Gordon Keeble GT, an odd mix of British, Italian and American! Andreaz can have the win as Gordon Keeble was enough
    18. That's why I originally went along the train of thought of an XJR 15 OK so here's the next beauty for you all to guess.
    19. It's a Spectre R42 ... give me an hour and I'll post the next one
    20. Looks like an XJR 15 gone wrong ... especially in that shade of blue
    21. yeah my first charater is a woman. the worst bit is she's a bit of a looker so I've got an endless stream of men and women (yes there are gay men and women in Albion!) following her around my second character will be a bloke and evil and also I'll make him stong ... unfortunately adding strength give muscles which makes the female character look like someone who's taken way too much testostorone (I know i can't spell)
