pwwhhwwaaarr !  Me likie very much!
Carbon brakes?
Are the wheel studs connected to the wheel itself or something? (or have they simply been removed)
Also is that ducting to the brakes standard using LAMBO zip ties hah.
Nice looking beast all round really. Wish i had 400K to spend on a car hahah |

wow nice car, no offence but the work shop looks low rent
over here you wouldnt get a lambo owner leaving a car at a workshop with a rusty looking hoist and aussie appearing mechanics, unless they were a drug dealer etc... and not on the hoist next to a VS ute lol
i think the local lambo owners here would wan to take it into a workshop with a polished marble floor and columns etc... LOL
btw i love the car, but the heater buttons radio and dials look really •••••• for the coin you spend, i had the same radio in a magna FFS and the verada dash instruments looked better too LOL
but awesome car still |

Nice, though Lambo's don't really do it for me any more, its still a great looking car!
Who sold it originally? I would have thought with a car like this you would have no option but to have it serviced by the dealer? |

Man ditch those dodgy old screw hoists and get some safer hydraulic models. I hate using the old Tecalemit at the factory.. got a Hanmecson at my old man's place. No need to worry if today is the day the big nut is gonna collapse on me. |

Over rated, and over priced IMHO.
I have driven a Ferarri, and wouldnt give you 2 bob for it. Was like trying to get into a Volskwagen, and the ride, and noise was too harsh for me.
Give me my Soarer any day |

Most Italian cars are over rated. Germans make some good machines but Lambo just aren't the same ever since the Germans took over.
Don't get me wrong I LIKE Ferrari's but they are not my dream machine and I don't look twice when one drives pass. I'd rather an Aston of some sort |

Are you saying you like your tacho and speedo hidden behind the steering wheel, cheap nasty switches, and aircon that doesn't work?

Gun metal grey ain't so bad. I saw an irridescent pink one and irridescent green one on the production line a few months ago...  |

I mean the styling cues. It looks too much of an Audi because it IS ran by Audi now I believe. That interior doesn't look too flash a sea of grey yuck! |

cool car, but very wrong colour, lambos are supposed to be MAD, orange or lime green please, not grey.
and the interior does look very "fiesta" actually thats insulting to the new fiesta, much prefer the interiors of ivory leather Ferrari's or astons.
now for the big crazy question, how much for a service on it???? |

No kidding! No matter what anyone else says, i'd take one of those over a soarer any day. Soarer is for my price range a great balance between power and comfort without looking like a wanker. But it isn't the best car of all time |

and ever heard of a lambo doing 300k not in an hour but 300k 300,000k's that is? i havent
as much as i'd love the lambo, i couldnt even afford to hire one for the weekend LOL |

Dave, come on mate, tell us, why did the guy bring it to you? I bet it's yours.
I bet your stable at home is filled with supercars and luxury sedans but you are just too modest to admit to it! ;) |

I would sell it and put the $$$ towards a house but not before taking it for a dam good test drive.
I have seen one in the flesh in this colour and they look quite good. |

Urgh, 911's are so dull and boring though! They are the vanilla supercar. Fantastically engineered, great to drive, totally horrible to look at. Two out of three ain't bad, but 'aint good enough either. |

I like a Porche, but they people that drive them are twats for the most part. And the engine is in the wrong place. I have all the time in the world for a Caymen though:

its personal opinion, but they look great to me. the new 911 turbo looks brilliant. obviously they arent as crazy as the 70s 911s, but i dont really want my back end spining out while doing a 100 :s |

Does that mean Soarer's should only be serviced by people who look Japanese?
Just because its heritage is Italian doesn't mean only Italians are capable of working on it  |

Nah way, i think he means he wouldn't trust any car with the average aussie bogan mechanic. Sure as hell ain't going to leave my soarer in a holden yard if you know what i mean |
