Default Aug06, Lamborghini Affolter, MUST SEE,Miura SVJ, Diablo GT..

Well it was about time to make the trip do Affolter thanks to Darkel for boosting me! On their website we saw a 360CS and a CGT that really made me take the decision LOL (never saw the CGT outside a motorshow so far).. of course neither was there LOL. The CGT just sold, the 360CS is owned by a customer wich has it at home and sells it through them... but who cares.. this is one of two Swiss dealership (not many contries have two official ones I think), and the biggest one! The lineup was mouthwatering: Diablo GT (again), SV, SVR, VT, EVO..., Countach, Murci and Gallardo even to many! And BIG surprise! In a separate room they keep a private collection! Sadly impossible to access the room to take pics, but since there were, between others, a Miura SV and an SVJ (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), I had to take at least a couple from outside! There was even a gullwinged Merc SL (impossible to take a pic), a Diablo racing car (at least), various roadgoing Diablos, an LM002 and more! Crazy!

In the end I was away roughly 6 hours all included! not really "next door", but not to hard since I left home at 8 am.

Well enough talking, here are the pics!

TWO THINGS:
- EVERY PICTURE IS CLICKABLE FOR HIGH-RES, MOST OF THE TIME 1600X1200, A COUPLE OF THEM ARE 1280 i THINK
- YOU ARE FREE OF COURSE TO POST ALL MY PICS ON OTHER WEBSITES. ANYWAY THERE IS MY LOGO ON THEM, AND SINCE A COUPLE OF PERSONS ASKED, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO STATE THAT, ALTHOUGH I TOUGHT IT WAS OBVIOUS


Here is a view from outside that little paradise on earth


First of all, one of the most frantic sightings I EVER had!! Not only my first Miura (yes, never saw one in the metal before ).. and sexy SV in white, but also an HYPER RARE SVJ apparently!!!
Sorry for the blurry pics, but they were locked away and I had to take the pics through an armored window





Off topic, but still Lambo a boat engine


A couple of nice Countach.. the brown one is an LP400.. the other?







Now a big load of Diablos of any kind!

This was a 30th Anniversary edition









Not to shabby at all!!




















One of the two "Evo"




My second "GT" to date!!! WOW!!!





Very nice that "Le Mans blue"









An SVR















Also an Espada


What about the present models? Some Gallardo and Murcielago:












The 40th Anniversary is sure a nice one


























A couple of group shots: Diablos



Of course I also had to takea look "behind" the dealership



Time for some Ferraris:

Ferrari 348



Ferrari 360 Modena



Ferrari 456GT


Ferrari 550 Maranello


A couple of Testarossa, nice white one!







What about a rare XJ220? Here you are!



Some AMG beasts. Nice rims on the SL




The Wiesmann roadster



Sexy GT2.. on their website they had also a yellow one.. sadly not there today







American muscles lurking in the shadows



--

And after all those crazy cars, a couple of "plain" RS4:





A couple of pics taken on the road.. it was a VERY nice trip.. 50% highway, the rest splitted between A roads and contry roads, perfect for spirited driving and basically nobody around!! Much fun

No idea why, but this little road was calling me.. that's why I had to add a filter to it to bad I had no time to explore


Not really up into the mountains, but quite apline place it was!


My baby, resting a little while


--

Final bonus, coming back home I found this at a Mercedes dealership
