Nervous about expertise here in NZ.

lol, is there an award for most obvious troll?

If money is a consideration at all, you're not in the market for a classic lambo. If you want a fast car there's plenty of good ones out of Japan or if you rally want the look you could go for a replica but if you're asking about running costs you're nowhere near being able to afford the real thing.

Yep, that is a horny car alright! Fuck the ergos and other minor niggles! I want one too.
Oh and we all know this is a troll thread right?

Old Lambo's cost a LOT to maintain, unless you can DIY and have the specialist tools yourself. They were nowhere near as reliable as modern Lambo's are (having been bought by Audi...) I assume that you have your reasons for a classic Lambo...but wouldn't be my choice of classic car, even though I love Lamborghini's...(Have a few in our neighbourhood...love hearing them)

If it's legit; Forza Works on New North Road. Sexiest fuckin garage in Auckland. All the Italian exotica in there being worked on gets one "Al Dente" IYKWIM

If it's a replica; any bogan with a crescent will do as it'll be either a Chevy 350 or Ford 351.

i suppose it'd be inconvinient for me to point out 'al dente' means firm to the bite...? And lambourghini isnt a type of pasta....

I'm not sure if you're serious, but if you are, the general rule is if you have to ask you can't afford it.

There are a few in the country. Not a hugely practical vehicle, but who cares? If you can afford to import it then you can afford to run it

Posted this somewhere else another time but I passed 3 Countaches in a row near Taupo during summer.
