DAMN thats awsome !!! Thats incredible I mean :shock: the front really looks agressife, the front of a VT is the best front for a diablo IMO...

[gis]

Love the car Jabba,will neve rget bored of lookin at that car.great pics :D

[23790554]

That red thing is a lawn mower right??

then how come your lawn is growing so long?

[mindgam3]

tis a great car, but i'd take the 355 over it anyday ;)

[abbor]

Would you cut the grass if you could ride a Lambo or a Ferrari? I think not! :wink:

[stradale]

Finally! This topic ought to be here, next to the F355's thread... :D I knew the pics already, but I'm always pleased to look at them again!

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

I dont get bored either when watching carefully the shown pics, and of course a real car enthusiast should never get bored either

simply thanks for the great quality of the pics, and the beauty of the pics as well

[nurbrun]

ive been waiting for this to be a Featured car.

Love it! i love the yellow rims



Great I love these pics of the devil, and nice to see it up as a sticky I have wondered why only the Ferrari was up here.......

Now its just the bimmer left......


dont forget the tractor :D

[cooperluke]

Nice car!! Saw one just like yours but it was red and it had chrome wheels! Ver, very beautiful!

[sameerrao]

Hello old friend .... nice to your pics again ...

Damn I am talking to cars again!

Jabba a few questions/comments:
1. Were the body colour wheels standard?
2. Love the mats - they are like the Keith Collins mats available for Ferraris
3. How long does it take to put the roof back on?
4. Love the way you maintained the interior and exterior - looks brand new
5. Are you considering some Lambo/Ferrari/racing art to complement your lovely machines in the garage?

[TT]

BTW, just in case answers from Jabba will be a bit late, remember his PC rebuilding problems ;)

[Anonymous]

Awesome pics, quite a few i haven't seen before :D BTW I love the fluffy dice

http://www.supercarshowdown.co.uk/121204/9.jpg
Are they on the Lamborghini options list?! :P

[topgeartom]

looks absolutely beautiful jabba. Never realised you had matching plates on the 355 and the lambo. It looks as if it only just fits in the garage!

Gotta love the dice! As AL says - classy! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[mindgam3]

where is the front plate btw? :?

[topgeartom]

where is the front plate btw? :?

I wondered that - i know bikes are allowed to not have one on the front as long as they have one on the back, but i thought cars had to???

[mindgam3]

they do.... in the UK at least.

Theres always posts in uk car forums about where to put their plates on their sports cars

naughty jabba! :D

[T-Bird]

I have to say that is a very nice caar there do you clean it every day?
I like your choice of yellow I would get the same.

[budagboy2]

car looks great, what exhaust do u have on your car?

[Wutputt]

What a fabulous car, Jabba. And judging from the pics, it's well taken care of. The car looks brand new, not only the exterior shines like it should, also the interior isn't dirty or doesn't have any scratches.


btw, who hit the lamppost in the back of the pics? ;)

[Jabba]

The previous owners had sadly wrecked the whole place inc knocking the lamposts down. I am slowly getting the place back into shape now after a very long year of hard work.

The jabba mansiob still looking good! :)

[Jabba]

Wish I had put the cars in the middle of the lawn for that last photo :|

[1zippo1]

I was wondering, what car is that in front of the BMW, a Rover 45 or something? Is it yours? Didn't know you had one of those. A 2.0i I suppose?

Nice pics btw, the mansion surely looks good. Kinda reminds me of a Manions from one of the bad guys in a Bond movie 8)

EDIT: oops, forgot to look at the first page first. The diablo looks nice & shiny. If I ever had to sell my house I would rent a Diablo for a day, put it in front of the house and give the pics to the estate agent. I think the value would increase noticibly :D

[stradale]

Looks like a Rover 8 series to me. Anyway, is there something you'd like to tell us, Jabba? :wink:

P.S.: I'm guessing it is a visitor's car....

[Jabba]

You guess is correct. It was indeed a visitor.

[Fleischmann]

LOL...the pics with the Diablo set aside the lawn mower look hilarious.

And I love those oldschool pop-up lights. Magnificent car!! And what a house!!

[adamk24]

::finds it impossible to take his eyes of the pictures:: someday.... :cry: ....... someday...... Nice cars man. Its great to see that a real enthusiest drive around cars like that. Most every time I see someone driving a ferrari or a porche, its just someone who bought it for the status, not the drive. Sence Im new, and dont know any better, Il ask the question thats most likely already be asked but, what is it like to drive? :?:

[Jabba]

A real BEAST.

[bmwmpower]

nice pics, thanks, you are lucky men

[saadie]

really nice pics jabba ... love em .. :twisted: :twisted:
especially the diablo ... its a real beast ...

[FPVPSI]

I love cars, but im a property person...thats one beautiful home you got there Jabba... 8)....congrats!

[maximussmurf]

awesome car! must be nice to be able to afford cars like that.

[dropot2]

I have to admit that I used to dislike this car, but every time I see a pic I like it more and more...it looks really beautiful. Congrats Jabba :)

^ how could you ever dislike a Diablo? :?

[saadie]

^ by being nutters .... :?

[Fast_car006]

Wow......You have a nice house and some cool toys Jabba.

[Johns]

sweet!

[sameerrao]

Anyone else think that the big man needs to post new pics/videos of his rides?

We have seen his comp/Home theatre et al recently. But no pics of the Lambo or 355 Spider for ages. :(

Any new rides?

[MIHALS]

just because you own an F, we'll forgive you this 3 years bump :mrgreen:

yeah, why not, if Jabba isn't too busy :D

I'm just affraid of not seeing JabbaLambo anymore because of the illness :cry:

[ARMAN]

we want pics/vids Jabba! :P

[Stoopie]

Ehm I didn't know you owned a Lamborghini Jabba :shock: damn that's a sweet ride!!

[Jabba]

Dunno how many times you have been told stoopie, plenty of pictures and videos here (you need delete the space between the words racing and flix) :

http://www.racing flix.com/featuredride.asp?f=7

[Stoopie]

Thx :D damn you must be anxious for the summer to drive that car topless again! :D

[Jabba]

If you mean the Diablo, that wont be happening any time soon as its currently broken, not that I have the time these days to do much supercar driving anyway.

[Stoopie]

Ah that's too bad! What's wrong with it? And yes I was talking about the Diablo :) Yellow and white are the best colours for that car btw, IMO :)

[Jabba]

Cats disentergrated and partly got sucked back into the engine, two new cats required (£6950) (engine management doesnt like it if this one is de-cated) togeather with possible engine rebuild £22,500 also the clutch was on borrowed time and that will be another £4,500...on a ten year old car...so prob will part ex it when I am interested and have more time to get another car.. and hope no one reads this thread in the mean time LOL.

And of course I have other hobbies now to drain all my spare cash, hd home cinema, JW, some other big projects (coming here soon :wink: )

[Stoopie]

Damn that's a lot of £'s and some serieus engine trouble.. Give it a good thinking then I'd say Jabba! And more projects? *curious* Time will tell I guess :)

[Ghostbat]

^
Damn it's true what they say. Supercars ARE expensive to run.

[Jabba]

They seem to be fine and then get to a certain age and turn into a money pit fast, last thing I paid out for was a starter motor that was £2,000 plus the transport each way each time which is another £450. Before that we had the well documented cooling system crisis, I don't think I got much change out of £3,000 to have that fixed and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some engine damage due to that actually (it partly overheated)

Main thing that doesn't help IMO is just not having the time to drive them and drive them hard, and the way they are sticking up speeding cameras in the UK, thats gonna be almost impossible soon I guess.

[TopGearNL]

^^ Shit Jabba, didn't know there was a problem with your Diablo..

Damn thats gonna cost a fortune to get that thing as new :shock:

[Erez]

^ once in a while a little JW euro meet @NG\AB could be a nice plave to have a go ;)


And of course I have other hobbies now to drain all my spare cash, hd home cinema, JW, some other big projects (coming here soon :wink: )

looking forward.. 8)

[sameerrao]

Thanks for the update. Sucks though you had so many $$$$$ issues.

Hopefully your experience with the 355 has been better.

[Erez]

^ other then the wheel thing, i think so right jabba?

[novass]

I didn't know you had Diablo issues dude, thats shitty. How are parts for that car? Are they still readily available?

[Jabba]

Only directly from Lambo in Italy or through the one main dealer in the UK who gets them from Lambo in Italy, either way they can charge you what they like and know full well you will have to pay it as there is no alternative.

[TopGearNL]

^^ Is it the same dealer as the Ferrari one?

[Jabba]

Nope, there are at least 30 main Ferrari dealers to just one main Lambo one (with two branches).

[jon_s]

Damn, so much for my idea of stealing the Diablo for the NS trip....I would just be sat in your garage going nowhere! lol

[acmarttin]

Ehm I didn't know you owned a Lamborghini Jabba :shock: damn that's a sweet ride!!

http://www.racing flix.com/featuredride.asp?f=7

You may have told Stoopie, but you never told me!

I found out that you had the real deal after being a member here about 5 months at least!

You've got it - flaunt it. lol.

[r2r]

Supposedly the lack of dealerships should start getting better with the expansion of the Lamborghini network.


It's sad to hear the Diablo is still out of commission, but I guess life has its priorities.

Hopefully the day you'll let go of the Diablo, it will be replaced by another Lambo :P

You can always check to see who has got what here :

That sucks. I didn't have many chances to work on Lambos aside from one Miura and a Gallardo. The Miura was pretty much fully restored by the time I had seen it and of course the Gallardo was easy to get parts for as it was and is basically a new car.

Ferrari parts can be like that too some times. I had a hell of a time finding a clutch housing, or whatever you want to call (the piece that you see sticking down a little from the bumper) for a 355 that had fallen off a tow truck and gotten cracked. It wasn't being offered from the factory at that time and my only resort was to dish out $3,000USD to get one from a wrecked car.

Speaking of 355s, have you ever had a valve job done to your car? If so, do you know what kind of valves they used? The steel valves from the factory are super expensive.

[Jabba]

Nope touch wood its always been super reliable, although the cam belt services havent been cheap but perhaps money VERY well spent.

Glad to hear the 355 has treated you well :D The belt services are definitely money well spent.

[ARMAN]

Those are some scary numbers for repairs :shock: sob dealers know they can do with the prices whatever they want cause you have no choise, you can't just take welding machine few parts from other cars and put it all togeather (like I'd do it with my e30 :mrgreen:) or go to the Lambo scrapyard and buy a part for a few pounds :?

I hope you'll change it soon for something newer :wink:

belts are definitely the wrong place to save money..
