As part of Concours D'Elegance in Monterey CA, I was able to take a ride in a new Lamborghini Galardo Spyder and it was AWESOME... As much as I love Audi, my A4 can't do 0-60 in under 4 secs, and doesn't go 163 (Thats as fast as we got due to heavy traffic on the 1), and I'm pretty sure if I got pulled over doing 143 in my Audi, I would be in jail.. (The cop lets us go because we didn't speak a word of english to him)... This is probably the only time I have ever felt poor getting into my Audi Pictures to come soon of the car show

 

this may be off topic (to an extent), but I'd love to see some pics and this thread un-moved.

 

You got clocked doing 143 and the cops let you go? Not bad.

How much was the ticket for?

 

he didn't say, the guy I was with is a journalist from a german auto magazine and he just spoke german to the cop the whole time so the cop got mad and told us to slow down and not make so much noise.. it was pretty sweet... and the german guy asked me if he could pay the cop 500 cash to forget about everything lol

 

//makes mental note to get out those German language cds

 

Damn, I used that technique in Italy and Germany ALL THE TIME. It never occured to me to try using THOSE languages HERE[&:] OK, I gotta go to some "top-speed" tests of my D2... Back soon!

 

I got passed by a Murci racing a GT2 through Sand City during the last Concourse, all I head was a VROOOM say a green and red streak and that was about it.

 

how is the concourse? anyone see the toyota f1 car broke the lap record at laguna? i would like to have seen that.

 

Just wait for the r8 to come out. It will be very similar to the gallardo.

 

An acquiantance of mine who I just talked to was at the event and got a ride in another one of our big brothers: A Bugatti Veyron, you think the lambo is fast? He hurt his head as a passenger when he didn't brace for the acceleration.
