Well guys, after 7 months I got to drive it!

My first Lambo experience! What a ride! Only about 3 miles but I was grinning from ear to ear! The Gods were shinning on me since it was sunny in Columbus (We were supposed to be in a snow storm but it pushed just north of us). I don't remember my X1/9 being that fun. It sounds great too. Evans did a fantastic job. They're going to do a few more detail items to it and bring it home so I can get my air filter box made.

I've got some pictures and a video that I'll post Monday!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. Thanks for all the input I'm getting on the wing here recently. MILF's like the wing huh? Better warn the wife!

Ross

Cool to hear yours is on the road again, enjoy here, spring is a fantastic time to begin the jalpa experience, open the roof and listen to the summing of the carbs.

I thought I posted a few pics on Saturday but they aren't here. Well, if any of you ended up with my pictures on your post, SORRY

Anyhow, here's a few photos from Friday:

Pic #1 - My car in good company. She's with no less than 6 or more Countachs and a couple of Diablos in this room.

Pic #2 - Anyone recognize the guy in the seat? George Evans

Pic #3 - As anyone knows, the general public usually can't read the cars Jalpa badge. I thought I'd help with the plate. (Some of you more astute observers will point out that that the car should be an '84 but it was titled and delivered in '85). So, do I own one of each?

Pic #4 - Going back in after my ride

Pic # 5 - Notice my missing air filter box?

Beautiful Jalpa.
It's really nice to see yet another Jalpa restored. Ther are going to be some really nice Jalpa's out there in the future and who knows maybe the value of the Jalpa will continue to go up.

Where do you have the air filter, inside the box or not yet installed?

Not yet existing! It was all missing when I bought the car. I can't find an original so I'm going to design one as soon as Evans delivers it to me.

I bought the air boxes from Lambostuff. they needed alot of work but they turned out nice.

I can check with our former president if he would sell it since his former Jalpa crashed.
