Unbelievable!!!! :shock: Just to meet Valentino would have been enough, but to see all those Lambo's just makes it even better The pics are great - some turned out absolutely stunning
I am not a huge fan of those tuned models - the stock ones are much nicer IMO
I will now look over all the pics again.....seeya

are those dealer tuned Lambo's?
I think I'll take the Yellow Murci and the matching Yellow Mustang behind it.

Crazy pics man. 8)

I saved a lot of diablos but only 2 or 3 murcielagos..... Not that the pics aren't
great, it's just that imo the diablo has waaaay more charisma than the murci.

I hope today goes well for you. Who knows you might even catch a ride with Valentino

Great pics TT!! Thanx

Diablos with no wings and stock wheels look the best. Riced out Lambos looks ridiculous really

^^^ I fully agree. The Affolter modifications don't exactly float my boat. With the exception maybe of that Grigio Antares Murciélago with darker rear light clusters and darker wheels. That one does look good!

Nevertheless, you don't see so many rare and brutal cars together! I loved the brown LP400 and the Jalpa. The same goes for the unmodified Murciélagos, Gallardos and Diablo roadster. The louvred rear deck of the orange Gallardo looked good too. I can't say the same about the other mods on that car though.

Affolter is a big Lambo concession but I don't really like its transformations, I think a Lambo is very hard to tune without wasting its lines ...

What a crazy amount of Lambos together. You won't see so much Lambos in the same place that often. Thanks for posting these amazing pics. But I've the same remarks as most other JW members. Those Affolter mods aren't exactly my kind of taste. Especially those wings are ruining the lines imo.

My favourite in all these pics still is the Jalpa. I can't explain why, but I really like it. My other favourite is your Miura. A Miura is always special, and on top of that, yours has Balboni's autograph.

I hope you had a great time today. Getting up early to meet some amazing cars is well worth it

The Murci 40th and yellow one, as long as the two Gallardo, black and orange one were used by Affolter to display their aftermarket parts (wheels and LeMans bodykits/wings). All the other cars are basically customer's, beside one of the red Diablos and a couple of Murci

Absolutely impossible. He told me he would like to take everybody for a spin, but the rules were "customers" only. period.
he never stopped. he must have clocked thousands of miles these two days.. and tonight he blasted through Switzerland and Italy to be back in Sant'Agata.. I am sure he never dropped below 250 km/h

Like you, I dont like them that much, but it is impressive to see how many Affolter's Diablo GTR Evo were sold! i think they did 3 generations of it! Ppl must like it I guess...
What impressed me the most, talking about aftermarket stuff, was this:

What a great day this must have been!

I like the pics, and the Diablo in the second row of pics is probably the best looking of the modded cars. I can see how one might think the Murcs/Gallardos with the black rims and body coloured details on the rims look cool, but they look best stock IMO

Again, i would stay away from the body stripes too, but the wings look alright

The brown Countach looks as if it has come straight out of a comic book, cell shading and all

Thanks for the pics TT... many will soon be added to my Archive
