I am more worried about the Diablo not being mentioned...how can you do a feature on Lamborghini and forget this model...perhaps I better ring them up and offer the stig my car....then again perhaps not

Not sure JC could fit in a Countach. More likely that short Hammond chap will drive it. 
Does the Stig get a run in these too?

Too many to mention but any i mention would be an obvious choice.
I just dont *get* Lambo's.
Like most i had a Countach [white] poster on my bedroom wall when i was about 8 but even then i hated the damn thing. A friend gave me the poster as a present so it had to be put up.

Wow... Lamborghini's are my favourite. After last yesterday's Top Gear I was wondering how the hell I was going to be able to wait an entire week for the next, so you can imagine how difficult this is going to be. I'm sure they won't leave out the Diablo. All of Lamborghini's other V12 mid-engined supercars will be there I understand.
Don't lend your Diablo to the Stig, Jabba. Next thing you know he's trying to do 100 on an aircraft carrier with it, killing himself and Diablo in the process.
chernobyl, I'm not going to argue about personal taste with you. That is a debate without end, but it's clear you don't 'get' Lambo's as you said. I hope you don't mind if we just keep on raving and drooling...
