Hello,

Yesterday I've been to the 84th European Motor Show of Brussels.

I took alot of photos and while I was shooting the 2 Lambo of the booth, he came and talk to me.
He asked me where I get the shirt I was wearing.
It was a black lamborghini polo that my girlfriend offered me for Christmas with the lambo logo on the left.

First I didn't recognize him, then I remember seeing a video with him and Jeremy Clarkson in a orange Murcielago.

He called the lambo staff and they asked us to enter in the booth :) (nobody exept client was allowed to enter!!!)
Me and my girlfriend were really happy and a bit excited !!

There are the photos:

I was really upset, and he told me that when I when to visit the lambo site, I just have to call him !
He gave me his card with email and so on :)

Nothing to say, it was the best European Motor Show I ever made!

I think he means excited and his english is not so good.

On the first look I didn't recognize him, it's when the girl of the booth told me that it was him that I remember the video with Jeremy Clarkson and the orange Lamborghini Murcielago :)

I was shocked :D

Oh I see ... I thought Valentino made a pass at Transporter's g/f.
:lol:

On a side note, Mr. T seems to have phenom taste in women - his last g/f posted here - the blonde was a real dream!!! 8)
