Nope I have a cream interior...I think that is a tan one...thanks for thinking of me though.... :D
I'm almost sure it was the front left one on Jabba's 355
LOL, to slow ;) but was it the left or right one?

Damn, Jabba. I read about it before, but I never saw a picture of it. That looks terrible. I can't stand seeing broken beautiful cars. I've seen worse, but it still hurts.
This reminds me of a couple of years back, when the 550 Maranello had just been introduced. I was at the track of Zandvoort where an event with lots of Ferrari's (Italia a Zandvoort) was taking place. Of course the Dutch Ferrari distributor had arranged for a 550 to be present. It was being driven around the track by some bigshot from Ferrari. One lap it took a very long time for the car to get back to the straight where I was sitting. It turned out the Ferrari chap had lost control and crashed the car. The poor 550 came limping back onto the straight and to my surprise almost everyone on the stands began to cheer.Apparently they thought it was fun, instead of sad. The fucking retards!! After all, it was an event for Italian car nuts like us. To this day I can't understand it and thinking about it still makes me mad...

DAM i cant decide in that last pic which ass is nicer

i noticed that too. did u get the interior changed jabba? can you do that, decide that you want to change your interior and top color, that would prolong the life of a nice ferrari, you'd never get bord of the interior cuz u could change it.
:o OOORRRRR, maybe just maybe, Jabba "got it like that" and bought another 355 and give the other to a friend.

In that picture the hood cover is not fitted...its a real pain in the ass to put on...and I only bother if I am going on a long journey or if its definitely not going to rain....
here is a picture with the hood cover fitted...you can probably see the popper fasteners if you look closely....and yes I had the seats recovered as well but they are the same colour...rosso corssa crema...well spotted.... :D

hey jabba... is it true that if that if ever you wanted to repaint your ferrari or lambo that you have to ask them for premision first.

also they had specific colors and places where the car was to be painted

i am much happier upon seeing the pics of the Ferrari after that unfortunate incident, resprayed and attractin booty like it should :D
good thing it wasnt a real horse tho otherwise you would have had to put it down. i had to do that once up near our ranch to a small pony. my father and i came across it lying in the road dying. it most likely got hit by a car/truck because it was seriously fucked up. since i already had the rifle on my horse my dad told me to do it, i tell you it wasnt easy but it was better then it suffering. my dad made me watch the horse so other animals wouldnt eat it while he went to get his truck, that was the worst part, having to sit there with it the whole time wondering if i did the right thing or not. i trust my father and the horse was in pain, so i think it was the best option at the time. its in the past, what can you do...

Jabba why the re-spray and interior recovering?
I can see it needing some minor glass work on the scuffs on the body, and little paint. I guess you wanted all the colour to match perfectly?
What about doing all the leather? Why did you choose to do that?

Yeh...funny I have kinda gone off the Gallarado now.... :(
About the Gallardo, he hasn't said one time it was a bad car or that the engine wasn't good. He only had two comments: you can't really feel what's going on and how much grip you've got left (a serieus downer I'm afraid) and first gear is good for about 70 miles an hour => if you want to go as fast as possible you regularly have to switch back to first gear. But still, I would have expected it to be better frankly ... pitty really because lookswise it's amazing.
Jabba, may I ask what your considering as a new car... And is it going to replace the 355 or the Diablo or are you just getting another car. Are you looking for a car you drive every day (BMW M3-Audi S4-Alfa 156GTA-...) or another reall sports coupé?
I know you're not really a fan of Porsche's so I won't suggest any of those (but a GT3 is a dream for me). For a nice sports coupé you could consider a TVR Tuscan or T350C maybe... a Noble M12 is probably the fastest car you can get price/performance wise. But all of those are relitivly understated in the market. They don't have the reputation of Ferrari or Lamborghini. I know you're no fan of the 360 otherwise a 360 spider or even the Challange Stradalé could be a blast & IMO they look gorgeous.
Sorry for my curiousity but I think the problem is that I want to be in your space... just the thought of being able to buy one of these cars... makes me drool :P
can't really feel what's going on and how much grip you've got left (a serieus downer I'm afraid)
That's the point.. if it was a Cadillac for long travels ok... but it's a sport car, a supercar.. and that single downside is terrible IMO.

It comes into two catergories I can either easily improve my daily driver to an M3 or R34 and get extra daily pleasure driving it...(although both are great cars they are not going to give you the buzz of a true supercar...hence a perfect daily driver)
OR
Go for another "Sunday Morning" type car that is going to be a great deal more expensive that will join the Diablo and F355...obviously it would have to be considered much better and offer something "extra special" than those two cars to make it worth buying and the extra cost....and also that I wouldn't drive it very often....an F50 with its de-tuned F1 engine sounds like just the car for the job..... 8)
I cant see a TVR fitting in anywhere to be honest...I would say they are seen in the same catergory as Lotus here....great cars for the money...but a defiante step down from Ferrari and Lamborghini and not really a suitable daily driver either....I cant see the day I would choose to drive a TVR over my other cars...as for the Stradale....interesting...but not the increase in performance over my exsisting cars to warrant a purchase...nope I think the next car...has to be in the next league up....
The point I am trying to make is like going from a Pentium 4 2.2 to a 2.3 isnt really worth the extra cost...but if you were going to go from a Pentium 2.2 to a 3.1 then although it would be more expensive at least you should notice the extra power from it...

10-28-2003, 11:24 AM
I understand your point jabba...
I just didn't know what you were looking for. It could be that you wanted something else and sell the 355 or Diablo. But it's hard finding any better without going to a higher price level and I'm afraid that's going to be a very high level :?
There are cars that are priced a little higher like the Vanquish but none of those offer better performance then your Diablo VT... The only thing I can think of is the Pagani or the Porsche CGT, but that's around 250.000-300.000 pounds... I might be forgetting something however but that's one of the only way you can get something remarcably faster then the Diablo.
Well, not that a nice F50 would really be that slower than the Diablo :P

The other factor is that the CGT and F50 are both left hand drive ony...and therefore would spoil the fun somewhat in the UK....(especially overtaking)....the Pagani is available in RHD but I am not sure if it would deliver an extra £300,000 worth of fun over the Diablo....damn buying cars used to be much easier a few years ago...

Aha, I didn't know that. I usually don't pay any attention to that. And if you're not sure well I would just ask for a test drive. I know with a Pagani that isn't going to be so easy but what you go to a dealer with your Diablo... they can hardly refuse :D
And as I said, going upwards from a Diablo is very hard and especially very expensive :wink:

If I were you I would call them, say you're interested in the car but not really sure if it is a big improvement over the Diablo. And if you're lucky they guy will just say: oh well we could arrange a test drive for you...
No matter in wich way you look at it, this can't be a bad thing. If it turns out to be less then you expected well at least you know. But somehow I don't think you'll be dissapointed :P

I have an idea as well. What about a more radical Diablo than your current roadster? Something like a GT or SE30. The latest offerings from Sant' Agata don't seem to tempt you and you'd want an improvement on the Diablo. So why not have a different Diablo?
Or you could buy a racing car and take it to track days.

You have a point about test drives. But you do get a glimpse about the car's character, as to being more involving (if possible) than the Diablo and F355.
Damn! Why the hell do you english deprive yourselves of some of the greatest cars by stubbornly driving on the wrong side of the road? :wink:

Is there really a difference in the way the car handles as opposed to the LHD version?
BTW, an F50 doesn't seem a bad idea to me. It's bound to be a different drive than the Diablo with its suspension. And I haven't talked about the engine yet :shock:

Things like the throttle cable were very poor on my 355 GTS (it was very sticky) that they hadnt got quite right in the conversion from LHD to RHD....
novass
10-29-2003, 01:10 AM
on a side note, i just drove my first RHD car. it was a 180sx (owned by Billyjuan). i didnt have too many problems gettin used to it. everything was the same except for the steering wheel being on the right side. but 1st gear was in the same spot as were the pedals, not sure if its the same in all RHDs. ive been in the LHD version, but ive never driven one so i cant really compare the 2 cars in that sense.
i only drove it for a few minutes tho and only on side streets so i dont know how comfortable i would be on freeways etc. it was the first time Billyjuan drove a RHD drive and he seemed to be ok on the freeway, at first he drove a little too close to the left line in the road, but he quickly figured it out. of course, i dont know what it feels like to drive on opposite sides of the road tho.

Driving RHD cars must be pretty difficult for us that are used to LHD , hey jabba , you talk about having problems with a LHD to RHD conversion .
So you bought your cars LHD ? i thought that they were developed equally to LHD and RHD , considering that UK is a big market for exotics , they might be the same .
Jabba
10-31-2003, 05:49 AM
No they are all RHD drive models...I am sure paying for a LHD to be converted to RHD would be more expensive than buying the real thing anyway...
Obvisouly they dont consider the RHD drive to be big enough....as there are no RHD F40, F50, Enzo, CGT

That sucks , but is not illegal to drive a LHD car in UK ? Ithink it must be pretty difficult to get used to it .
I think converting an Enzo to RHD must be hugely expensive
but is not illegal to drive a LHD car in UK ?
I don't think it exists a country where it is illegal to drive a car with the wheel "on the wrong side"...
stracing
10-31-2003, 07:54 PM
in some countries a conversion must be made
like the corvettes over here, they aren't sold here but if imported, they must.
but i know europe and largely in asia, left or right doesn't matter
Coo, I wasn't aware of that.. I wonder why.. basically it's not really a problem... well it can be an hassle in car parks or McDrive and every other place where you need to be on the correct side of the car ;) but strange there is a law about that...
stracing
10-31-2003, 08:15 PM
yea i don't see a problem with it either. altho military vehicles and registered rally cars are LHD
you study law right? if you look at our law, its pretty shit. its so messed up.
HAHAHAA! In effect from our point of view the English law is pretty "messy" (different is the right term though ;)).. and I suppose in Australia the law is based on the English one, isn't it? So basically no big codes in the background, trying to describe everything?

the rule in Austrlia is that any car pre 1997 can be on the road without a conversion thats why the enzo cant be seen on our roads. Our laws were influenced by the english, however there are some differences that make Australia better and worse.

HAHAHAA! In effect from our point of view the English law is pretty "messy" (different is the right term though ;)).. and I suppose in Australia the law is based on the English one, isn't it? So basically no big codes in the background, trying to describe everything?
lol, english law is a bit messy, but it does work. Although we have two different systems running (which can at times be bloody confusing!).....Common Law and Equity. In the event of a conflict between the two Equity prevails. In pratice, it makes little difference, but there are ways it can be exploited! :wink: Also our law is getting even worse with our slow intergration with the EU.
On the issue of LHD cars, in England there are no problems. Do you know what the law would say about a car like the Mclaren?? i.e in the middle??

I know very little about English law, as I remember it Common Law is law by rulings of the courts, right? Is Equity the laws and regulations that have been issued by the government?
Implementing EU legislation in national laws can be a problem. I guess it's even harder with a system like you have in the UK. Most of the other European countries have laws based on Roman and French law, so the EU legislation is probably better suited to that.

The relationship between EU law and UK law is getting better. Our courts go out of their way to avoid any conflict. The was an issue a while ago, in which an Act was made which directly (and intentionally) conflicted with EU law. Put simply, it tried to stop Spanish fishermen from living/fishing in our waters, as they were fishing in massive boats, and took a large bulk of our fishing quota. Anyway, this went through the courts, and was eventually was overturned as it was against the EU legislation of freedom of movement.
The 1998 Human Rights Act, is quite interesting, as there is a clause in it which states that all new Acts must be made in light of the HRA, so it is very, if not impossible to get round it (not that we would want to!). Slowly out law is comming in line with the EU.
As for Equity, the courts can enforce equity. It has distinctive remedies: Injunctions/ Specific Performance/ Rescission and retification!! The most obvious is the injunction. If you ever hear of an injunction it was enforced through equity. The main aim of equity is to fill in the gaps of common law. The best way of showing this is through an example:
Imagine that during WWI you had a house and a child (Tom), but no wife. Then you were called up to go and fight. So you left your house in Trust to your best mate Ben. unfortunately, you die, but it does not matter (lol) as you know that Tom will get the house. This is where Common Law and Equity differ....In common Law, you have given the LEGAL title to Ben, as a result he can do what he wants with the house. He does not even has to give it to Tom!! That is the Common Law stance........Equity is different, in this situation, Ben still has the legal rights, but Ben has the Equitable rights. This means that Ben has to pass the House onto Tom. So you can see where there is a difference! In this situation, equity prevails over common law and Ben gets the house basically!! (p.s this is a really basic example, and it gets a lot more complex lol!)
Hope that clears it up a bit! If you have any more questions send me a PM and I will gladly answer them for you, as I don't want to take over this thread! :D

It is still confusing. It's so fundamentally different from our legal system. I hadn't even heard of Equity before. I looked up some things about it and together with your explanation it made it a bit more clear. But I'll leave English law to the experts!
Also legal English is not my strong point. Chatting like this it's alright, but most legal terms I don't know. It's a shame the university hasn't got it in the curriculum.
I still have a question about Equity. I'll send you a PM then.
