Well sadly as Dan (if he sees this) will confirm (he tried very hard to help fix the problem) the Diablo is very sick indeed....due to one of the cats breaking up and being partly sucked back into the engine...I have had it professionally checked out now..and indeed one of the cylinders does appear to have low compression...so with an engine re-build estimated at about £22,000 I think its time to let someone else have some fun with that car !
Typical just had a new starter motor fitted as well at £2,200...and rear shock before at another £2,500+

Sure if the car was running well and I had the time I would have gone and of course met up with you.

Yeh that sort of thing has always been part of my life sadly...had a cambelt fail on my Lotus...that was a total engine re-build...then an actual piston failed on my diablo 2WD...that was an engine re-build...very luckily still under warranty though I may add. I sure dont want to get stuck with this one though before it goes bang !
Yeh and I kinda thought the same about the title...LOL...any ideas what to change it to then ??

ok, get rid of that beautie, it's time to bring some new baby under your roof
I guess it has to be hard to say bye to sort of car like this, but if there's not another way to go... :bah:
so do you have already some gross idea about your new car? supercar w/o roof, hard/soft top, over 500Hp, Italian/German/British.....??? don't feel shy and tell us your plans
Topic > 40th Anniversary Lambo Meet ??? can be?

Yep for sure...I don't get much time to drive them anyway these days..and I think that didn't help either...leaving it in the garage not being used...trouble is...as you will know the british weather has been pretty shit all year round the last few days...so driving it around in those conditions wouldn't do it much good either (roadsters leak very badly)...you cant really win either way...

Nice to meet you to Mihals. Lol. I'll try to bring some of my mates and a camera.
Regarding the other topic: We should start a new thread helping Jabba choose his next car, but Jabba needs to give the criteria (number of doors, etc)
