Saiy.Y Report post Posted May 17, 2017 Congrats on your lovely car and enjoy it in good health Thanks everyone. Has anyone done the SF to LA drive recently with the Big Sur route 1 closures? Any advice for fun routes around the closure without navigating back to main highways? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash Boy Report post Posted May 17, 2017 Gorgeous....the black with terra emilia is awesome. I really like that interior color! That steering wheel come stock with the alcantara at the top? A good look, but of course you don't want it to wear if you're not driving with gloves. An SV in SF....what more could you want?

Smash Boy Report post Posted May 17, 2017 I know, my issue is with contrast, very aggressive hard exterior but in contrast the interior is soft and cushy IMO those elements clash being a Roadster it further accentuates it because you can see the whole interior when the roof is down but the car is yours and my opinion is just that, another opinion, take care and enjoy. I think I know what you're saying. With that interior color I'd probably go dark blue like VBUG's AV. I remember liking that type of color combo on the old Qvale Mangusta from back in the day. Hard to find a good contrast shot, this was the best I could find. I'm a sucker for red/burgundy interior, and best paired either white or black........for the SV, I'd go black. Of course this is nitpicking and often times fleeting. Picking color combos must be really hard for lucky buyers!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDoctor Report post Posted May 17, 2017 Love that color combo. Congrats . Some tints and the roof on it doesn't even matter. I'd much rather live seeing that interior color everyday than a bland black. Might be wrong on this but you cannot drive the best part of highway 1 thru big Sur because of the Road closure. The 395 is a fantastic and under rated drive imo going north to Tahoe. To do the 1 you'd have to cut across from Monterey to 101 and then cut back in at some point maybe through the 46 . Which is not bad. But you miss the best highway 1 driving and only a couple of miles until you're forced back on 101. But you could also drive up north to big Sur. See how far you can get. And turn around. I think Lucia furthest you can go right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steering wheel is the upgraded factory option that is a combination of alcantara and perforated leather. Ad Personem allowed me to change the upper center leather piece to terra emilia and added the terra emilia stitching. I will take some better close ups this week of the interior details.

I guess I will have to cut over to 101 then for part of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picking color combos must be really hard for lucky buyers!! Picking combos is the hardest thing when you place an order. I like both the interior and the exterior but not for the SV, the standard A pulls it off much better, the SV design is too aggressive, maybe if she had the proper seats rather than sofas, that would've brought some sportiness to the inside.

VCR Report post Posted May 19, 2017 ?? You lost me on that one On a standard AV, it's nice to have some creature comfort such as comfort seats, supple leather and glovebox etc... A Super Veloce is supposedly a hardcore, no compromise and thorough bred sports car that's ready for track and carries a special purpose; that performance is key at some expense of luxury. To spec a hardcore car with leather, comfort seats, a glovebox etc... somewhat defeats the purpose of a SV. To each its own though as everyone has their own preferences. Their cars, their specs and their way of acquisition and enjoyment so just saying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted May 19, 2017 ?? You lost me on that one In addition to what VCR said (thank you VCR) I think the color and materials chosen clash with the aggressiveness of the SV exterior but if not specced in a SV I do not mind the interior combo, for example in a standard Roadster with a light color exterior, perhaps white, that elegant interior would work very well IMO. Saiy.Y's SV exterior is hard and aggressive but the interior is soft and elegant IMO those elements clash. I hope this is clearer for you sorry for the confusion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIRDGEN Report post Posted May 21, 2017 No offense, but why is it necessary to post negative comments about someones car that they are obviously excited about and from what I recall, did not ask for opinions. That's what you do before you pick out the car. Deflating her balloon would be the last thing I would do. No one is an expert on colors except the person buying it for themselves. My gosh, the car is stunning in every way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIRDGEN Report post Posted May 21, 2017 I wonder if you could find someone who makes red anodized center lock nuts. I like the red calipers and that you did the red springs in the engine bay, just feel like it needs one or two more little tiny things. It is amazing how big those cars are. My Aventador experience is limited, but I did enjoy it when I drove one. It didn't seem as big as it was. It was also very nimble. Always nice to trick out your car with little details like this!

Saiy.Y Report post Posted May 21, 2017 Always nice to trick out your car with little details like this! Totally agree. I will start to make some touches here over time. i was at the David Lee event with the SVR yesterday in LA and it was so nice to see the variety of specs, colors and combinations on the various SV coupes and roadsters and how these reflect each person's own tastes.

My gosh, the car is stunning in every way. You ask for the logic behind my opinion then you criticize me when I give it to you, as I said in my post, it's my opinion only and it should not detract from the car, you haven't been on LP long enough to understand that we have no issues expressing our true and correct views rather than just brainlessly congratulating someone into oblivion. This is her first Lambo, constructive criticism is always beneficial when it comes to speccing your car because lots of factors have to be taken into consideration, so rather than you seeing the negative side of things why don't you consider the positive aspect of it? I certainly would. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you giving her your advice so she will do better next time? Just curious as to your opinions and to what Benifit it will serve her.

Assman Report post Posted May 22, 2017 No need to quibble. Fortis was just giving an opinion. I don't think Sai was bothered by it. End of the day if Sai is happy and her sister is happy with 1000 selfies then it doesn't matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
