The British Columbia Thread!

I'm pretty sure the owner is on here, If I rememeber correctley he posted some pictures of his Jalpa sometime late 2009.

 

We have so much good photopraphy talent here in the BC section and I am surprised you guys havent posted any Olympic related shots! I know there was alot of action on those streets!

 

Here's a small sample of many pics from my phone.

Unfortunately my phone camera stopped working near the end of the last day, missed pictures of everyone on the roof of the bus stops...sears doors breaking due to massive overcrowd on the streets and people looking for safe haven.

Here are my shots.

The corner at Robson and Granville (Samimi's second shot) was crazy packed -- I thought I was going to be crushed! Thankfully I made my way into Sears.

I'm surprised the bus shelters actually supported the weight of so many people.

 

There yah go. Thanks guys

 

It was crazy! I was in the dead center, felt like massive 'people tug-of-war' between people wanting to go opposite directions...I didn't even want to go to Sears! But there was no option.

One bus shelter came VERY close to breaking. You could see the tension on the glass roof as people were jumping and cheering.

Surprised they were very well built and glass didn't break.

 

TDF blue 456 GT on Burrard. Look dated already

 

Drove by Lamborghini Vancouver yesterday and there was a big Semi Truck that transports cars parked in front. It was open in the back so I took a look and there was a Red Mercedes SLS in there. I didnt stay long enough to see if they were unloading it there. Look pretty cool though.

 

Likely a TFX truck swinging through Vancouver before dropping the SLS off for the Calgary aut show that starts next week. First customer builds of the SLS For Canada are just starting now.

 

He's a member here, also has a twin turbo gallardo and a LM002. Super nice guy.

 

Hey James thats not my Jalpa! That Jalpa has painted white bumpers and mine has factory black bumpers. There is two white Jalpas in BC. I still have the LM002 but have sold the Twin Turbo Gallardo....I miss that car

 

Spotted zzoorrkk's LP
Nice to see the beast out .Was a few blocks away from the bridge when you gave her some freedom ) Hell it sounded sick .

Spotted 3 more members as well as Grey DBS on Alberni

 

Saw zork give his LP a little gas. It sounds amazing just a few feet away.

White G spider at some hotel
Matte Black LP560 at some other hotel
Dark Grey DBS
A few Maser GT's

 

I spotted zzoorrkk right by LoV, then heard the high-pitched scream of the V12 a few minutes later. Funny how members of FC and LP were in the same vicinity.

Yellow F355 spotted on Robson (Todd?)

 

haha yeah also saw zzoorrkk just by LoV, LP sounded incredible...

here are some pictures from today:

Wow what a beautiful day for a drive! Had I known you were all in the area, I would have stopped and had coffee or something.

A stock LP640 has a good sound even in the low to mid range. I think I only revved her to 4500 on 1st and 2nd today. I remember a couple of years ago after the N.Van car show and shine, I red lined on 1st and 2nd. That was an insane sound. I think Furious captured it on video

On another note, anyone here like the H1?

 

sound is funny , I was walking ( before I saw the car ) thinking " oh is it lambo ? naw to hight pitched , got to be a sport bike . Where is it ? " and then the beast showed up , lower than all parked cars that masked it haha

H1 Hummer ? We had one storaged @ shop - huge huge huge

Nice weather is starting. Nice to see more of the exotics coming out again

 

I wish, been busy with work.

 

You can't really get a sense of how good an LP640 sounds even in the lower RPM's until you hear it in person. It's just amazing. That right there probably made my day.

 

Saw the matte black LP560 downtown last night

as well as a Viper GTS Final Edition

Work hard, play harder

 

zzoorrkk, is your exhaust is stock or did you lift the valves? It sure had presence! Personally, I prefer the sound of the Murci/LP640's V12 over the Enzo (dons flamesuit ).

Anyone up for a B.C Thread meet? It would be nice to chat up with fellow car guys and put names to faces. Bueller?

 

Stock exhaust. What do you mean by lifted valve? Oh, yes, there is a butterfly valve that controls the exhaust noise in the LP640. Below 4000 revs, it's closed and above, it's open. I had LoV make adjustments so that it stays open at all rpms. But it's still a stock exhaust.
