Yes, around here to buy a Mustang you need to go to a Lambo dealership and it is not the regular car any 16 yo guy will own  it's an exotic you can see maybe twice a month on the road
oh yes, all the pics are up: http://www.motorworld.net/forum/show...=394607#394607
More to come soon

I think this thread just answered my question in the scale models thread...  ops:
This is really fantastic, TT. Balboni is a legend for sure! Now I'm going to look for the picture thread, FAST!
BTW, if we're talking about Lambo legends we shouldn't forget about Bob Wallace, Giotto Bizzarini and Gian Paolo Dallara either...

As said also in the other topic, his contract was to take customers around for passenger rides, nothing more. And he never had a spare 5 minutes as far as I saw!

if you are talking about the second day, you will have to wait a couple of days.. today and tomorrow I will have to edit Porsche pics from a local meeting, and only afterward I will post the second Lambo's day but they will have the priority on the regular updates of course

Congratulations on meeting one of my heros TT 8)
I remember him nearly making Clarkson sick in a Diablo, and he was a very impressive driver.
But, my, has he aged! He looks far older now, but will still be a legend... look after that model Muira

Well he IS older, I don't have his birth year on top of my head and too lazy to check, but he joined Lambo in the late 60s, he should definitely be in his 60 now and you should have heard how he nailed that Gallardo on every outing
He still has petrol in his veins!
