Previous owner had clutch, engine overhaul and brakes done at the now defunct Lamborghini of Orange County, once the largest Lamborghini dealership in the United States.
I have owned this car for over 2 years, and have put quite a few miles on her, she shows 70,xxx KILOMETERS, thats about 43,744 miles. Having owned many exotics, I would rather have one thats been driven that a garage queen that needs everything rebuilt to use as it was intended.
Everything works.
I will add links to videos of Mr. Andretti pulling up at Pebble Beach after the Running of the Bulls.
The car was purchased after the Running of the Bulls by "Lotto Jim", a man who won the California lottery that year. It was then part of a collection of a software engineer in CA. He traded it for a Murcialago at Lamborghini of Orange County. The dealership went bankrupt, and I purchased it at auction. I have driven it to both coasts, (CA twice). It is a fantastic running car. No wrecks.

ItalDesign Giugiaro Parcour loses its lid
Tue, 05 Mar 2013What could possibly be better than a two-passenger, off-road performance coupe built atop the Lamborghini Gallardo platform? A topless version of said vehicle, of course. We've already showed you the ItalDesign Giugiaro Parcour in fixed-roof form, and now we're able to bring you some live shots of the Parcour Roadster.
Honestly, the Parcour's lines probably look better on the hardtop model, but the Roadster's lack of top did give the ItalDesign Giugiaro crew a chance to change up the design ever so slightly. The windshield has been chopped and uses carbon-fiber pillars doubling as the vehicle's rollbars, while the hoops over the seats are also designed with safety and styling in mind. In addition to the roof, the Roadster also removes the separator between the passenger compartment and the engine bay meaning there is absolutely nothing to filter the noise created by the mid-engine 5.2-liter V10 putting down 550 horsepower.
Dubai police welcome Lamborghini Aventador cop car
Thu, 11 Apr 2013There is a long history of law enforcement adding supercars to their police cruiser fleets. The latest comes from a likely place, Dubai, where one-upping the rest of the world in conspicuous consumption has become a national point of pride.
The Dubai police force announced yesterday that they've added a Lamborghini Aventador to their fleet, the Italian supercar capping a broader upgrade to their selection of cruisers that also reportedly includes new examples of the Chevy Camaro.
The 700-horsepower Aventador has a starting price in the US of nearly $400,000 and can reach speeds up to 217 miles per hour. Reports, however, say that the Dubai police force won't be using the car's 0-60 performance of 3.9 seconds to catch any crooks, but rather that the supercar will be used in tourist areas to impress foreign travelers.
World's Best Dad invites Lamborghini owners to son's birthday party
Tue, 29 Apr 2014
The resulting unalloyed joy, as you'll see in the footage below, is priceless.
One of my defining moments as a budding car enthusiast came the first time I got to see a Lamborghini up close. I was out in Los Angeles visiting a relative with my mother and sister, and I took the change of scenery as an opportunity to look for more exotic cars than my middle-class Midwestern upbringing would usually encounter. We were on a walk, when off in the distance I saw - and heard - something extraordinary: An early '80s Lamborghini Countach, black with those bronze five-hole wheels, pulling into a parking spot. My mom still takes great joy in periodically retelling the events of that day, and as the story goes, I joyfully took off without warning, chasing the car down the street shouting "Lamborghini!" "Lamborghini!!" in my best eight-year-old Italian accent.
