btw, i have never driven a car where all sorts of people are actually whipping out their digital and camera phones, just to take pictures of the car while on the road. frankly, it gets a little spooky after a while (i thought black would be less noticeable!), but i'm impressed.

What these guys don't know about Lamborghini isn't worth knowing..... More actual owners of the car than anywhere else Ive seen.

James: I was eyeing all those superb photos of your car. Great taste!
Cheers! Black does look great on film. Just wait to you see the video we are going to shoot of two black cars with the new Tubi exhaust fitted to both.

Morning James,


Itīs very interesting the difference between the UK and Spain, I would be interested in your views.

In the UK it seems most people hate succsess, ( spelling ) and if possible they will avoid looking at a Lambo, just to hide envy.

Most other countries ( inc the US ) seem to respect succsess and do what is natural.

I have had all manner of experiences here in Spain but I can say ALL of them have been enjoyable and the people just really want to know more about my car, they are not interested in the person or how he got the car, just the car.

I have been prevented from pulling out of petrol stations by litterally crowds of people with cameraīs, cars pulling in front and slowing down just so I will go past again so they can get more pics on the move.

ITīS GREAT

Hi Terry,

Your right about the differences, in the past Ive had my Porsche badges stolen on too many occasions to remember (to the point at which i used to keep spares!). Then when i moved up to an F car, within a couple of months someone ran a key down the door and rear wing to show their appreciation. Within a week of the G car arriving my air valve caps had disappeared and yet i hadn't left the car anywhere alone for more than a few mins.

I live in a relatively low crime rate part of the country, who knows what would happen in Manchester or Birmingham....

Having said all that, the UK is a country of car lovers deep down and motorway driving does bring out the digital phone cameras and friendly waves from other vehicles. I've yet to fill up with petrol without someone/people coming over to have a chat. So it seems there is a small minority (as in the case of football hooliganism) that tarnishes the whole country at times.

Yes I agree James, it is always the minority that ruins it.
