    Nice surprise for a Monday morning to see two Gallardos posed nicely in the middle of Grand Central with their engine covers raised. Both of them appeared to be as driven in off the road without any apparent attempt to wash them or detail them for the display.

    I don't know how long they'll be there, so stop by soon.

    One of them is probably the silver Gallardo that's being raffled off by the Columbus Citizens Foundation.

    Sounds like a good idea, Dave. You can have the 36 days from January 2-February 8, okay? No driving when there is salt on the roads, okay? ;-)

    Now, who wants February 9-March 17?

    Here are some photos of the Gallardo's and the MV Augusta on display at night in Grand Central. And yes the motorcycle is going up for auction. As I was just talking the photos, people who were going home from work were buying raffle tickets. They will probably be sold out pretty soon. The lady with the little jumpsuit said the gallardo that will be won and to be made to order will retail at 197,000 and will have navi, etc.

    Anyone here buy raffle tickets?

    vik, i think either one of us would be pleased with the black or yellow one as "consolation." = ) another point of note is that the black and yellow are e-gear.. the orange is 6speed. i'd rather have e-gear over the manual, so i'll give up the pearl orange for that.
