Boys and their toys

[willy_01]

come on kids, there is no doubt about it that these kind of cars are cool. I would have though that if you have a love for sports bikes you have a love for speed, the same primal urge that car lovers have (just dont have the balls to express it on 2 wheels). But after reading this i can see im very wrong. Can someone enlighten on the reasons for this, ie love cranking a fast bike but hate doing the same in a fast car??

ps if you arent sure if it was 2 lambo's or ferrari's law of probabilities would suggest 360's, would account for the high pitch note when raped

lamborghins are 4wd thats a lot of power to slide out....

Lambo only have 2 4wds don't they? That newish one no one can pronounce, and John Deere tractors.. The rest are all RWD

And willy1, it's a mutual hate. They're jelous they can't wheelie and get their knee down in a corner. We hate them cos they take up too much room and don't let us pass.. End of the day, all power is good power. Wether it come via 2 wheels (or one ), 4, 6 or no wheels.. speed and power are nothing but gud. big is gud. But then there's boy racers. And often they can be twats. Not all of them, but how do you distinguish between them? These guys aren't likely to be BRs, but BRs do cause us grief often cos of jelousy and/or inadequacy.

Eh... well I don't drive a car... and because I love speed doesn't mean I have to love cars (no matter the make of the car) otherwise I'd also like fast trains... planes and speed boats... and frankly... I don't care for any of them... only bikes

hehe

No not all of them and they have 6 litre highly tuned V12s it's quite easy to slide them around. Matter of fact those engines are half of what makes a lambo special.

I strongly believe those cars were Ferraris - you'd be stupid to hoon in a lambo in the city they have ridiculous side and rear visibility.

Or 355's or 348's they sort of look the same to the untrained eye and their notes are pretty sexy even on idle, let alone when revved.

Nah - cars suck.

Mer-che-a-largo and Guy-ar-do.

If I could afford one of these I'd being doing a lot of South Island touring using my EU passport and fake Italiano accent.

Yeah, we know - you said that already.

The Gallardo is a 5l V10 (based on an Audi design), 4WD. The Murcielago is 6.2l V12, 4WD. Those would be your two 4WD models, the Diablo's , Countach, etc were rear wheel drive only.

Even their tractors I would suspect were only 2WD? Did they make 4WD tractors back in the day?

Dont care what the fanatics here say, I like 'em (and that doesnt detract from the fact that I like bikes either). Could be tempted to a Gallardo if I had the mulah, but then again, there's a heap of other things I could enjoy if I had that sort of coin . . .

don't they still build the engines for John Deere? I learnt to drive in one of dooze...

No the Diablo VT introduced in 1993 had 4WD. The 2WD's would spin up and disintegrate the Pirelli P Zero 335/30/ZR18s so 4WD was introduced to make the car a little safer.

yes they did - but it was a lot of hardwork getting to where they have now - especially trying to fight off those elitist snobs called Ferrari.

yeah, there was a 4wd diablo.. don't know how many they sold actually. Wasn't the 'removable roof' SE 4wd too? Anyway, it wasn't added to make them safer. It was added to get the car moving quicker instead of sitting there and burning up the rubber

Burnt up clutches instead.
Having driven neither, i don't have personal experience. But the word is that the new Lambos are to much Audi and not enough Italian. They've lost a lot of soul.
So my Lotto winnings are earmarked for a 575. 430 if it's only 2nd division.

Thats a real big "sort of". One major intake on the side compared to 4 or so on the 355.

Haven't been in a lambo yet, its the only major one missing from my been in list.

Sweet - interesting to know. I was aware the "standard" (seems weird to use that word when talking about a lambo) Diablo came as a 2WD, didnt know about the VT.

And as for the 335's, dem's some big feet . . .
