TT, and orange Gallardo?

[Shinigami]

I was so disappointed after seeing the M3 today. It's ugly, lost all the spirit of the E46. The interior is especially hideous.

[TopGearNL]

Mmm some great sights!

But also surprised that some cars weren't present, like 599GTB? :bah:

Doesn't promise much good for the Dutch Carshow ''Autorai'' this month..

And he is such a nice and enthousiastic guy! I hope to meet you outside the motorshow one day dude, because it's a hell of a nightmare to just say a quick hello and have to move on!

Dude, really awesome pics, my ones are not even close ... it was just too much work and the rush shows ... and I really that I could also concentrate on the exotics ...

I did about 900-1000 photos the first day and about 450 the next :shock:

My schedule: Worked from 7 till 7, drove to the hotel in Annesy which is in france and about 80 km's away, ate something really quick, and then worked untill 4am. Slept untill 5:30 am, and the off to the show where I walked and walked, sat behind the comp all the time , got to the hotel at about 8 and ate something, and then worked till 1am and the today, I got up at 6 and wen't to the show again to to the last vid and then I drove for 8 hours and now I'm writing this post ...

I won't post any car pics,,,maybe just the best 10 or 20, but I will prepare the "ladies" pics, like I always do.

And yes, it killed me just to chat for a few minutes :x

Got to meet up somewhere else and some other time

Now I'll hit the sack if you don't mind, as I have to get up at 6:30 :shock: :x

well, I sometimes I think my boss is a lunatick, but somehow, we're able to pull it off, we (4 people, the cameraguy, the editor and another guy) work like mad, but we get A LOT done in two days, more than almost everyone else probably, and the results show, and after all is over, we're half dead, but really satisfied with ourselves ... in Slovenia, we're almost always first and definitly always the most complete media when it comes to car shows ans such ... 8)

I quickly checked it out, it was a superleggera without the rear wing. too cramped, too many ppl, no pic

There was a grey 599 of course, but well, that was a new car 12 months ago :bah: and at Geneva you tend to only focus on new stuff

You should see the press room in the afternoon! Wicked, so many laptops, or even 23 inches apple monitors to edit videos..
Not to talk about the really big crews in their private campers or trucks outside

I'll try and get some pics when I'm there, but a Supperleggera without a wing, what's left 10 extra hp :roll:

[TT]

Yes, and aboute 2 kg less :roll:

I know I am not a market expert, but hell, Lambo shouldn't have paid attention to customers' request and just launch a real hardcore Gallardo. This one, full of nice carpet, awd and all would make an F40 owner laugh for ours on the term "superleggera" :bad:... I really hope they have something else in the pipeline to please hardcore drivers wanting to use it mostly on track

[inso]

They could have doubled the weight loss with dropping the 4wd, I guess the problem is from the Audi, it is like admitting that rwd is the way to go for absolute thrills..

And giving some more juice from the engine should not have been such a big trouble, just raise the compression ratio a little and demand higher octane fuel.

1200kg and 550-570hp, that would have been a killer.
