  1. I watched it the other day, and stumbled upon on it, really. I figure others might have not known it was out, I know I didn't.  It's an ok movie, but I did enjoy the atmosphere of it. as well as the directing. As far as one of the car themed movies, it's one of the better. I think it could've benefited from just being longer to see more development in the history of the marque, as well as being longer to have more dialog. Might have just not have had the funding for it though. I was hoping to see Balboni do a cameo of some sort though.

    I did see a scene that I'm pretty sure was LP.com inspired. It was hilarious! I'd recommend checking it out as a good way to wind down the day though.

  2. I woke up this morning with TTGs in my head. Specifically Arancio Borealis. Welp, I told myself let me try logging in to LP. Hmm....I guess you don't need to login to see posts anymore......why are these posts so old? Maybe you gotta' login to see new posts......reset password for like the 20th time (and see if it actually works and resets this time).....hey it worked......Saw this thread, ohhhh....

    On the flip, I recognize all these posters here. Howdy, yall. 
    I know car forums migrated to IG, and FB. Both I don't like, despite me having two active IG accounts. I don't want to look at pics, I want to engage people. Granted I came to look at TTGs. lol.

  3. Thank you for the kind words. Though I'm not sure where i'll find 10 naked sluts and some cameras and lighter fluid around here (but that does sound fun). I'm in a pretty small town :lol2:

     

    Don't worry, Kerplop, I got you on this. Here's what I'm gonna do, I'll get the lighter fluid, you get the 10 naked womenz. :D

     

    Those cam covers look so NICE. Looks great, man! I like the pic of you and the machinist together, because I can really see the pride in yall's faces.

  4. I really think I need to hire a body guard for the car. This car just attracts all the attention, and while 99% of it's good, that 1% is also walking toward the car while you're inside.

     

    I am sure there's some clean cut, young gear heads that wouldn't mind following me around on weekends and watching the car for $10/hr + gas money while I am eating and having fun. They could carry those velvet ropes in their trunk, like this:

     

     

    I'll be in Houston in January :D

  5. Played guinea pig on ordering a turn signal stalk, ended up ordering from a Holden parts place which turned out, after much research and cross referencing, to be the same size mostly.

     

    Either way is a 100% FIT.

     

    Austin/Morris 1100 Mk II & 1300 Indicator Column Mounted for vintage & classic cars

     

    Now, it is worth mentioning, it is not marked like the other turn signal stalk, so it doesn't have the paint mark for the horn and lights. However, the wiring is the same, the switches are the same and the function is the same. It is ever so slightly (and I mean probably less than half an inch) smaller in length on the end. Regardless, the diameter (roughly 30mm) is an exact fit.

     

    Getting my stuff powdercoated and will post pics later. Took me about a week and a half total for shipping and for it to go through customs. Very happy with the product.

     

    Can you make a spacer to make up the difference, or is it just really negligible? Seems negligible to me.

  6. Forget the rubber tracks or pads......Here's another Lambo for sale with TIRES!! Even cheaper at less than $4K!

    $ 4 , 5 0 0 OR BEST OFFER OR TRADE ???? REDUCED>>>>>>$3,950

     

    Sweet, finally here's my one & only chance to officially get a Lambo Owner title under my avatar!! Black leather seat with green citura stitching, a Verde Ithaca body and repainted white wheels would look pretty good. I knew my day would come! $4,000, what a steal! Y'know, being in Texas I could take this to the local car meets since tractors can legally drive on the roads here. :)

  7. The updated Urraco wheels look nice, especially the polished look to them. I was going to ask if they were custom made, but with a second look they definitely don't look stock. The front and rear offset is keen too. Are the headers equal length? Do you have anymore photos of them? The routing looks funny. Almost like some of the exhaust is dumping from the middle of the V. Ohh, and I'm really keen on the trans case's contrast between the case and ribbs/supports. Black and polished is cool. I think old cars need more polish of shiny metal, it's what helps give that old car feel. Why is the interior being fabbed instead of using the pre-existing interior? I think I'm missing something.
  8. You might as well bemoan lack of big gulp cup holders as the downfall of the F40.

     

    And, that's exactly why I didn't buy one. I threw my Big Gulp in the dealer's face when I found out there were no cup holders telling him to slurp on this! **SPLASH!!**

     

     

    See... Nobody fcuking gets this but us.

     

    Nah ah! There's a reason I hang around the Old School section more than the general or newer models. e.g. Gallardo and up.

     

     

    Deep breaths everyone...we are all friends who love Lambos. Chris Harris is getting what he wants right now in here! We cant let that happen!

    The hell with deep breaths, where's my Big Gulp?!

     

    Why are we so obsessed with car companies building cars to directly compete against each, in real world people want fun experiences

     

     

    I must proclaim a definitive, WORD!

     

     

    As far as Chris, I like him, and yes he does say things to stir the pot, but was he wrong with what he said about Ferrari sand bagging cars? HELL NO. I think with Lambo, he just misses what they used to do, and not what they've become, which is akin to what Hovik says up above. What I like about him (Chris) is that he isn't another degree holding English major writing about cars. He's a car guy through and through.

  9. Every Murci/LP640 dyno i have looked at has the exact same dip at same spot. I can only assume it must be the variable cam transition or something along those lines.

     

    That's what I was thinking, the Lambo VTEC kicked in, yo. :icon_mrgreen: Please get cabin vids of driving around. Flybys, ugh. We can't live vicariously with drivebys, we need cabin ones too!
