Default Countach lug nuts

Everybody, take a look at your lug nuts. I have chrome ones, but have been told that the original ones were plain. Is this true????????

Default Countach gearbox

Terry, sounds like the shop is going to buy you a new gearbox.
What year is your car? I happen to have a new in the crate trans, but there is an early and a late trans.

Thanks Emilio, I have no intention of paying for this as it was specifically requested to check the oil levels !!

I have sent them an e mail to see if that one is available.

Terry,

Long time no hear. How are you, [send me pm]

I know that the only Lambo service centre in Spain is pants.

I can provide good evidence to back up this statement. from my own experience of sending my car there for service.

I have arrangement to visit the Lambo Factory in September, I am considering adding a Gallardo ragtop to the fleet. I expect to raise the issue of the level of service that is available in Iberia at this time.

Is there anything I can do to help you ?

Mike

Hi Mike, Is your car there now, I saw a red Diablo there the day before yesterday it looked like yours.

If they give me any grief then I will let my solicitors at it, as you know a denuncia in Spain is easy and can do a lot.

If you have waqtched the other site you may know why I have been quiet. My wife Kathy who is only 43 ( I am 57) is dying of terminal secondary breast cancer. There is nothing more we, or the health people can do it is too late, they say she will not last until christmas. I need to get the CT really perfect to sell her as I have really lost intrest now as I am sure you will understand.

Anyone out there with a wife/girlfriend of any age over 40, get her checked, 4 months ago Kathy had no symptoms whatsoever except a pain in her shoulder.

Our Sincerest Condolances to You and Your Wife,

Terry: I don't know you but let me say that I am sure many here on this board felt a pain in their heart when they read this. I know I did. One can always pray for a miracle and prayers are sometimes answered. I will pray for one for Kathy.
