    I think the show ended great. Rhoades is apparently fucked, Axe showed some vulnerability towards Taylor not okaying the hit, and Wendy has risen up as a fierce bitch. Last scene with the three of them breaking bread and plotting was interesting. Each season has gotten better than the last IMO.

    Last episode, didn't understand why Axe went apeshit on his lawyer over the bill.
  3. A limited edition vehicle will be produced, price unknown but likely 2MM+, we've seen this before with Reventon, Veneno, Centenario. It's always been V12 vehicle reskinned. Will let you decide if it's worth it.
  4. I grew up with Star Wars, saw the original over 20 times. Disney is whoring their purchase of the franchise. Star Wars franchise fatigue has set in, box office receipts reflecting that. The public is tired of a new Star Wars every year. Surprised we haven't seen this yet with the Marvel comic movies, as good as they have been.
  5. It's gonna be one one of the six standard SVJ colours - matte white, matte green, red, yellow, Grigio telesto, dark purple. Everything else Ad Personam. Credit for this info to you know who you are
  6. Hi John, let's move this to General to get this handled for you. Someone somewhere will know of one. GLWP.
  7. I've heard from multiple people they are producing 1000 units total, both coupes and roadsters, and final metric horsepower will be 770 PS, which is 759.46 HP .
  8. Information beginning to leak on production numbers. Anyone have info?

    Home security

    Why not just get a normal safe and have house monitored? Even if takes the popo several minutes to show, thieves aren't going to break in, locate hidden safe, crack safe, whole time while alarm blaring. Most just smash and grab. At our house we make it hard to break-in and hard to leave. We have mylar film on all windows so they can't be shattered. Steel throw plates and long deadbolts at doors. Cameras in obvious locations. Signs everywhere. Barbed wire at perimeter. Sentries and robots everywhere. Assassins in bushes. Satellites with lasers. And body doubles at all times.
  10. I'm probably in the minority here... does anyone think that Lambos already are so over the top, there is no point to drive home the "obnoxious" factor with a Skittles colour? Does anyone think that with the crazy design language already, it's best to do a somewhat more subdued colour?
  11. I am also struggling with trying to choose a colour. Can't do blu nethuns again although I'm tempted to. Oro Elios would love to do, however probably hurts the value. Then there's always the grigios, white, Rosso Bia....
  12. The whole idea behind alcantara was to create something that allowed race car drivers to be comfortable without slipping around while driving. It had to be fire retardant, and lighter than other materials. Leather was too slippery and heavy, suede had too much upkeep and didn't wear well. Those that have done hot laps in slippery seats know it's dangerous, 5 point harnesses notwithstanding. Somehow, much like carbon fibre, it's become a fashion accessory. Originally though alcantara was purpose designed. How do I know? Because my name is Allan Cantara.
  13. The trend is towards hybrids and electrics, the Germans lead the automotive world in many ways, Lambo and Audi more specifically probably following trends set by others. Second, subsidies and government incentives. Probably a lot of incentivization for manufacturers to go green and clean. We've seen this before in building with LEED initiatives. With no initiatives no funding, so there's that. Frankly everyone else has already gone hybrid, Lambo is the last of the big boys to do so.
  14. Hannah Davis in photos is unreal. In person she is just about perfect. She is THAT pretty.
  15. Some people are content being single and hoarding money, if that's what floats his boat go for it.
  16. I don't enjoy the look of it at all. It's basically chopped up carbon fibre glued together. No beautiful weaves to look at. No wonder they are using it, virtually no failure rate vs the rejection rate VCR was talking about before which was astronomically high.
  17. Same experience. Have had 2 GTs, both awesome cars but huge guzzlers. Had a few creaks but Bentley service is top notch, they don't screw around and understand the clientele.
  18. My friend you are partners if I understand correctly, what if there is an issue and he cannot pay his share? Let's say a larger touch item like roofing needs to be addressed and it's 50 grand and he cannot pay his share. Tenants are complaining of leaks, and so forth, then what? Correct me if I did not understand.
  19. Aventador 700 PS Aventador Anniversario 720 PS Veneno 750 PS Aventador SV 750 PS Aventador S 740 PS (to not piss off SV owners) Centenario 770 PS Aventador SVJ ??? IMO it will be below 770 and above 750. 760 sounds just about right.
  20. Don't ever take a partner unless necessary. If you take a partner, make sure he brings something unique to the table from what you do. Money is typically NOT good enough, that's what banks are for. I think petty disagreements in partnerships are symptomatic of the partnership itself being ill-thought out from the beginning. I would give consideration to selling your 3 units or buying his 7, given you guys can't agree on such a small amount already.
  21. Hey Bill, I changed the title and consolidated all the information. My understanding is also the same as VCR's - no concrete information yet. All speculation.
