    Finally! My MY08 G arrived at the dealership an hour ago! :)

    SVAG, Los Gatos are detailing the car - will pick it up at noon tomorrow. Had done all the DMV stuff in advance as I had to go abroad in a hurry - so its officially mine!

    I promise a lot of pics, but I need to drive it first! :)

    What stuff should I look out for when I examine it prior to taking delivery? My concern is that it sat at the port (San Diego) for about a week before it was delivered to the dealership - or should I be concerned at all?

    Congratulations!
    What color did you get?

    Did you buy it from Silicon Valley Lamborghini?

    Cheers

    Don't be concerned. Just check it over for body damage and any missing OEM items........owners manual, etc.

    Congrats!!!
    Absolutely gorgeous car, love the colour combination!
    Are you planning to keep the stock exhaust? If not, try a Capristo. Sounds great on the G

    Looks awesome, Rotus. Now you can join us for the August drive! Just one query; I thought that almost all of the '06s and up had a clear engine bonnet. Was that an option?

    Yup, the clear engine bonnet was an option. I just felt that the (standard) louvered look looked better with my color combination and at about $4K less :)

    Joe360:
    I quite like the standard exhaust at this point - it really opens up after about 4K rpm - I believe they tweaked it for MY06 and up

    All:
    Thanks a lot for your appreciation and comments. Look forward to meeting some of you on August 26th!

    Very Nice. I like the solid engine cover myself...saved you some money and you dont have to worry about detailing the engine all the time! :)

    A lovely choice! Metallic black over saddle: the connoisseur's exotic. Refined yet raucous. That's a brilliant gallardo.
