My '86 Lamborghini Jalpa

[TRAVIS]

one of 410 made during the mid '80's
"baby Countach" -
it has 8 cylinders rather than 12
the doors swing out rather than up -
several items (like back wing) are the same as the C/T -
it cost new about $60,000 - the C/T was $100,000 - 1980's prices
the "new" baby Lambo is the Gallardo -10 cyl. - doors out - app $180,000
new 'big Lambo' - Murcialago - 12 cyl. - doors up - $275,000-325,000
more pics later -
I will also post a couple of pics of a Jalpa next to a C/T for comparison -
similar but different!!

[TT]

I added your custom shot in the first post for you TRAVIS ;) it's a good one and I hope you will post more pics soon!

[TRAVIS]

Raymond Stofer is the owner of BOTH cars. I think he has another car or two also -
check his sites out -
I think -
www.jalpa.ch
www.countach.ch
if not - lemme know & I'll double check -

jon_s -

I don't use it as a daily -

Oh BTW, that guy with Countach and Jalpa in Switzerland lives in the region where I was caught speeding (178 km/h :? ) last month (looking at his plates)... I hope he is more carefull than me on the highway!

[saadie]

[aOp]

That's soooo cool!

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

Simply the Jalpa one of my favourites Lamborghini ever alongside the Countach, and the Diablo

[Mers]

cool car mate!..I actually saw one in Monaco in my summer trip to france, but it was too fast for a pic... I saw an espada followed by a jalpa and a gallardo...I think it was some club meeting or sth...
Anyway, great car!

[Jabba]

Welcome...always nice to have another Lamborghini owner on board. Your just in time for the new featured car section as well.

[sikx5]

Wow man, Thats a rare machine, Look aftet Her!

[DUNKiNUTS]

[nurbrun]

[bmwmpower]

[blah]

Hot looking lambo. id definately take 2 or 3. All in black of course.

[Ill Dottore]

Lovely car

I love the color

Cheers, mate!

[stradale]

Great car, Travis! The V8 models of Lamborghini have always been underappreciated, but I think that that's not fair. I like the slightly understated looks very much and black suits it perfectly.
I saw a black one before and it had gold (or copper, hard to tell since it was quite dirty) colour wheels.

Another Jalpa at the same event. You can just see my head popping in on the first picture on the left. :wink:

I also took a picture of Raymond Stofer's Countach there, which is one of the best looking Countaches out there IMO.

[Wutputt]

That's a rare car. And like already said, it's a shame they are understated. The car still looks very good, I really like its design.

[TRAVIS]

Mers -
I take it you play drums as well -
Bonham's Moby Dick is a CLASSIC!!
his whole style was very different , but fit the music perfectly -
AWESOME HUGE sound !!! :shock:

stradale -
Raymond's cars are great -
he is also -
been a great help to MANY owners !!!!

all the others -
THANX for compliments :D :D

[TRAVIS]

brembo -
THANX for compliment -
only about 1,000 miles in 4 years -
not comfortable for long trips (the guy that does my interior work said it was like a go-cart with a body)
typical sports car drive - feel EVERYTHING on the road :shock:
just drive it around town & enjoy the looks :twisted:

~T~ 8)

[TRAVIS]

brembo -
sorry dude -
no track here -
too old & brittle :oops: :lol:
there's an old Army airfield nereby that people go to sometimes & do fun runs -
probably try that soon :twisted:

~T~ 8)

[TRAVIS]

Now you go to that airfield and show those vette owners what a real sportscar should look like..... [Twisted Evil]

brembo -
YES MASTER :shock:

~T~ :mrgreen:

[TRAVIS]

Brembo Quoteth:
didnt mean it like that dude
don't worry -
I know how you meant it -
there was an Army guy stationed here about a year ago. He had a RED Jalpa. Hopefully he'll be back next year & we can cruise down to the beach (Panama City Beach, Florida - MTV Spring Break place). He sold his car when he went to Korea, but bought another one & is having a lotta work done to it - it's already tuff lookin' before the work (new paint & wheels as well as mechanical).
Now THAT kinda drivin' is what I'm all about -
he'll pick up the chicks & I'll get their moms :silly:

~T(a/k/a"Dirty Old Man")~ 8)

[TRAVIS]

Brembo scribbled:
Been there done that,
been to panama City (PC) or been beach cruisin' ?
we have several pilots from Norway and other parts of Europe, Middle-East, etc. that train here at Ft. Rucker for helicopter combat. Didn't know if you had been stationed or visited here?

~T~ 8)

[Evo]

That's the first time I ever saw that kind of Lambo.. and you are a very lucky person to own such a rare and beautiful art work.. ( Me in my artistic mode today :mrgreen: )

[TRAVIS]

Evo -
THANX for compliment !!

~T~ 8)

[TRAVIS]

Brembo -
if your friend is in Florida, he's probably in Pensacola - I think the Navy still does some copter training there.
I live about 2+ hours Northeast of there. When I had time to play in a band, we played at Corey Navel Station there.
Beautiful area and prettier beaches than Daytona. Pensacola is on the Gulf of Mexico(warm & beautiful). Daytona is on the other side of Florida, on the Atlantic (cold & ugly). :lol:
It's in the low 70's F here today, probably 75F & sunny where he is.

~T~ 8)

[TRAVIS]

brem -
lemme know where he is & when you come -
if it's close enuff -
I can treat you to "grits" - :P :roll:

~T~ 8)

[TRAVIS]

grits
good old Southern food -
great if done correctly -
terrible if not -
ask your buddy -
he may have had some -
if not, tell him to try it at a small mom & pop type of restaurant, not a big chain store -
I'm sure you too have some "local" types of food that are not available in other countries -
that might be a good topic for a thread since a lot of countries post here - "What are your local 'ethnic' foods" -
hmmmmmmm -

~T~8)

[SPEEDCORE]

Nice car there, I have always been a fan of the Jalpa since they came out.
