    No, we spotted two more outside. Like I said previously, many pics are still to follow.

    I really must congratulate you on your patience and perseverance. It really shows how much you love both brands :).

    Thanks! It can be a bit boring when nothing's happening for a 30 minute or longer period. But then usually suddenly, two or more cars will arrive from several directions and you have to be quick to get pics of them all. Then it turns quiet again and the waiting starts all over...

    Actually there's always a sence of anticipation, after all there could be a new car leaving/arriving in a fantastic - yet unseen - colour combination any minute! And at Lamborghini you have the advantage that most cars arrive back at the factory from the left (when standing facing the road) and you can see them coming from really far away. Especially when they have a clear road, it's a fantastic view to see a Gallardo or Murcielago approaching at high speed, xenon lights on, downshifting several times with great sounds... Ah, I really need to go back there soon!!!

    Ciao,

    Lars T.

    Funny thing is the New owner of the Black LP640 Roadster is gonna preserve his car inside and never drive it in the rain and proudly boast that his car has never seen rain!

    Thats the first time ive seen a Murci roadster with the top up and im sure they could have designed something to look a little less horrid then that. I know that the owner will never have the car out in the weather so the top really doesnt matter but all the nice designs of the cars to just put that little latch and snap together roof on it.

    A few more pics, this time from cars in front of the main entrance. The modern Miura (now exhibited in the reception area) and the Gallardo Roadster show car (now in the museum) are also included. Note also the Gallardo Spyder in Grigio Telesto, the colour introduced with the LP 640:

    I fully agree, the car looks great topless, but that little cloth roof looks really cheap and clumsy. Almost as bad as the roof on the Ferrari 550 Barchetta...

    Thanks! I still have more pics to show, but unfortunately no Verde Ithaca cars were being test driven while I was around. Too bad, since it is a fantastic colour and I would have loved to see it on the road! But I will be back in June, so maybe I'll be lucky then!

    No prototypes seen unfortunately, only the "normal" production cars.

    I will now post all the remaining pics (35 in total), these were all taken on Friday morning between 9:30 and 12:00 am Friday last week.

    That unfortunately means this is the end of this thread, at least for the moment. I will be back in St. Agata Bolognese at the end of June, so you can expect a hopefully interesting picture update here in early July!

    I hope you all enjoyed the pics, thank you for all the nice comments you posted!

    BTW, is there anyone out there who also keeps a VIN-database on Lamborghinis (like me)? Or maybe you're an owner and I could have the details of your car hery or by pm? New contacts or new cars for my database would always be much appreciated :)

    Anyway, now to the pics: All cars seen on Friday were black, yellow or pearl white, so again no Verde Ithaca around unfortunately. Note the last three black Gallardo pics: this is the 185-car limited Edition "Gallardo Nera".

    Ciao,

    Lars T.
