    As most know, as a long time member here....I rarely offer lavish endorsement or offer public approbation of any particular group or individual but I will make an exception and share with you my Roy's story....

    -Few days ago, I incidentally came across a beautiful Orange Diablo 6.0 offered by an individual. Felt in LOVE w/ it, WANT it, MUST have it...and MISSING it wasn't an option.
    -I placed a call into my buddy Roy to inquire about its history (for those who don't know, Roy has an exclusive database of practically every Lambo ever existed in the country).
    -At that time, I didn't know Roy was also in hot and aggressive pursuit of it as well ..(perhaps, because an orange 6.0 is about the only lambo that Roy doesn't own...yet :)
    -Being a good guy that he is, not only was Roy helpful in providing valuable insights on the car, he "silently" withdrew his name from the heavily contested pursuit of this rare beast so his friend has the best chance to close the deal. Without Roy, the Lambo market maker, I wasn't going to be denied.

    Roy, you had absolute nothing to gain other to help a friend....You're a custodian of your reputation, a true ambassador to the Lambo community and you are undoubtedly one cool cat.

    Thanks for the KIND words.......

    Really not needed.......just want everyone to be as happy as I am with my cars. As you all know NOT all cars are good cars......But when the right car comes along you need to SNAP it up right away......

    Knowing the history on this car, IT WAS A GREAT DEAL!!!!!

    Dont worry, as much as TOM changes cars I will get it someday........

    Hey anybody know where he lives???? LOL LOL

    Roy has been nothing but a great contribution to the Lamborghini Community. I have no problem saying yes, I vouch for Roy. He's a great guy and I'm glad I took the time to get to know him. 100% straight up guy.

    mark,

    you aren't too shabby yourself. i truly appreciate your hard work in getting the painted factory wing shipped to lambo washington and performed the impossible by getting the front shock for me with such short notice. also, i can't wait to install the beautiful stainless steel air-intake in place of the black rubber hoses.

    alex/SP Engineering is very fortunate to have you as an asset (i am hijacking my own thread.... :) )

    Roy, nice job. But don't worry about it. Knowing the way Tom works, you'll have the car in another three months. By that time Tom would be speccing an LP640 - :D

    i contacted roy about a car (non-lamborghini) that is rare (less than 200 or so in the USA - nobody knows). i wanted to have him keep an eye out should he come across one. he not only got back in touch with me, he had one of his guys call to get more specifics.

    most dealers would have heard what i was looking for, nodded and then hung up and forgetting the whole conversation.

    Hi Roy.
    After I spoke to you on the phone few times, I realized that you are more reasonable on your own cars, for example, the purple 6.0 you ask for 169k, but the silver and yellow one you ask for 195k which I assume those are belongs to Burtoni, I'm still in the market for a yellow 6.0 in 160k to 170k price range, am I asking too much???????

    No I do not think you are asking for to much, BUT that color is so hard to get your hands on.....I MUST say that AL spends a lot of MONEY to make his car JUST right.....He does ask higher than the market, but if you want a car that you have to go to him.

    I on the other hand just want to make people happy and make a FAIR progit, I think I am meeting this need, at least I try.....I have NO control over others cars......BUT you can always throw me an offer and I will speak to AL.

    PS I sent you a PM.......
