On Kris instagram, he says its BS about the Veneno recall

 

It is BS until it barbecues itself LOL The Veneno is just a bodykitted Aventador, same running gear so I don't see how it wouldn't be affected if the recall is for all Aventadors. Also it doesn't mean that the cars will instantly spontaneously combust, it's just a possibility and Lamborghini is taking preventive action.

 

https://www.productsafety.gov.au/recall/aut...-coupe-roadster

 

"Product description

Aventador Coupè and Roadster from model year 2012 to 2017

Limited edtion: 50° Anniversario, Miura Homage, Pirelli Edition; Super Veloce and the projects internally denominated “One-shot” such as Veneno Coupè, Roadster and Aventador J whose technology derived from Aventador models"

 

In short all Aventadors are affected, the factory hasn't released the parts to the dealers yet, it will happen on the 28th of this month, if you own an Aventador I'd check with the dealer, eventually they will all have to be recalled.

Wow 5900 cars recalled??

Wonder how much this will cost Lamborghini...not good

 

Probably not much. It's not a big thing that needs to be changed. GM has recalls on the order of 100k cars so 6k is peanuts.

:iamwithstupid: GM and Toyota have massive recalls all the time. They do have contingency cash for these sorts of things.

Its weird.... There almost seems to be a hint of embarrassment over this????

 

Like Kris insisting its untrue? Or topjay doubting it???? Guys... Its true. I've been a lawyer for twenty years. I know how to read a recall notice from the NHTSA...

 

Its not a big deal... Recalls are common and a GOOD thing... Hell, my e30 M3 has probably had 2 dozen recalls on it over the yeas... Some were issued when it was new. Some were issued when iit was 15 years old... Some were minor things... Some were shit that seriously hurt people before they got fixed. BMWs willingness to declare and fix shit like that has always made me respect them more. You cant hide or cover this shit up... You just need to say "my bad" and fix the fcuking thing.

 

This one on the Aventy is a loooooong time coming. Any modern car that catches on fire while sitting in traffic is a baaaaaaad thing. And by doing the recall, it will take that issue out of play... Ultimately it will give a lot of owners and potential buyers who have seen those fcuking videos, more confidence in the safety of the car.

 

Personally, I thought the bigger issue wasnt the shooting flames part... But the "shit they made the rear clip out of is easily combustible" part. That shit should NOT catch fire and burn given its proximity to hot exhaust fumes and the inevitable possibility of unburned fuel in the pipes. I have a sneaky suspicion, we may come back around to that at some point...

 

But what do I know... Im just an unfrozen caveman lawyer, who sits on the Board of Directors of a corporation and sells toy trains on Ebay.

Kris just did a live streaming video driving the veneno and revving it a lot making fun of this news saying it's completely fake and that only the aventador was recalled

 

 

He's still wrong.

I don't understand what the big deal is for the Veneno owner--there's a recall, the recall states that that particular model was one of the models affected...am I missing something? Why would anyone want to sweep it under the rug???

He seems to be taking it very personally. Which makes no sense. It's a fuckng car. But in doing so he seems to be implying that I'm a liar. Or "hater". For reporting the facts. Which everyone can guess how well that will go over with me.

The recall made our local news.

 

They reported the price of the cars in a very sarcastic way, referencing the Veneno and what it sells for, and then saying, "and the more affordable Aventador starting at $400,000"...

 

As news goes it was fairly entertaining. You don't see Lambo headlines too often in Pittsburgh.

That is because the local news in Pittsburgh normally talks about incest and what a dump it is.

 

I don't get the hullabaloo about the Veneno recall.

The Aventador has issues due to a pump location near the exhaust and twatsticks do stupid things when the car is not moving...

But the Veneno is not just a rebodied Aventador.

I chat with Kris on a regular basis, I am due to meet up with him next month in London, he has been incredibly supportive and helpful towards me over a period of time. He checks in on me and asks about my Dad's chemo etc.

He is engaging to talk to and has opinions, is he a decent guy.

 

It is no secret that LPDaddy and Fortis have an issue with him after they meet at the Giro. What happened there I cannot comment on because I was not there and I respect the opinion of all three people involved.

 

The way I see it, someone who owns a rare car, a car which means he has close ties to the factory would know more about the situation than anyone posting in here? Do you not think in the regular conversations/texts/emails with the factory this might come up?

People are going on like if Kris does not get this done they are all going to lose an inch off their own cocks.

Let it be, it does not matter.

The dealers milk warranty work all the time, I agree on set fees, they do have that.
