You realise it's pronounced "gay-ardo", right?

DigitalEl · Feb 11, 2006, 06:39 AM

Beautiful, IceEnclosure. Looks like a pretty upscale part of town, too. Then again, it'd likely have to be. You don't see many of those parked outside the local Safeway.

Peter · Feb 11, 2006, 06:41 AM

awesome, amazing car

Kevin · Feb 11, 2006, 08:01 AM

Slightly disappointed. I expected this thread to be about women.

If I had my camera a few weeks ago, there was a Ford GT parked in front of the Apple Store down here. Beautiful car, even better looking in person.

Me too, except I expected it to be about computers.

Goldfinger · Feb 11, 2006, 08:51 AM

I really want to like the new Lamborghinis, but I just can't. Just because they are Audis. Give me a good old Countach with a tractor clutch anyday.

wdlove · Feb 11, 2006, 09:31 AM

That is a beautiful and truly amazing car. Nice pictures.

dreamryche · Feb 11, 2006, 10:16 AM

*drool* Nice!

ambush · Feb 11, 2006, 10:31 AM

they're rich. They can do whatever they want, buy whatever they want.

money = power = nice cars.

That's an Audi? Lambo=Italian. Audi=German.

Yeah, you should have to get cash's permission first.

Audi owns Lambo now.

hickey · Feb 11, 2006, 11:23 AM

Last week outside the Ritz, there was a Bentley Continental GT, a turbo Cayenne, an M5, and a Murcielago

I kicked myself for not having my camera

IceEnclosure · Feb 11, 2006, 11:25 AM

between Murcielago and Gallardo, there's easily 10 or so tooling around town on any given day around here. I see 'em every day and I love 'em!

It's full of Audi parts and switches and the quattro system and the engine is pretty german as well. But the most important problem is that Lamborghini and Bugatti and Bentley have all sold their soul to Audi. There is nothing left of it. The new cars are too good and too German. A Lamborghini should be a wild beast that is hard to control, not a tame V10 powered shopping trolley. The new cars are too refined, they should be raw and beastly. Like a bull.

They don't feel like a real Lamborghini or Bugatti or Bentley anymore and that's what makes me so sad.

I loathe VAG with a passion.

The Gallardo does look great. Especially the SE version.

yeah it is

IceEnclosure · Feb 11, 2006, 12:25 PM

guy-ardo moreso

Goldfinger · Feb 11, 2006, 01:02 PM

No. It isn't.

"Ga" like The Great GAtsby

"Ya"like in Toyota Yaris.

"R" as in "Work" I guess.

"Do" as in do re mi.

Lol, pretty hard to write this in sounds that English speaking people can pronounce correctly.

hickey · Feb 11, 2006, 01:09 PM

well as long as we all know you dont say the actual "L" sound.

Goldfinger · Feb 11, 2006, 01:17 PM

Yeah, but there is a serious difference between Gayardo and how you're supposed to pronounce it

.

IceEnclosure · 12:10 PM

and how do we say Murcielago correctly?

: )

same location:

Goldfinger · Feb 11, 2006, 01:29 PM

Murciélago, that's a hard one.

"Mur", can't really find a good explenation for this sound

"cié" a bit like "CHina" with the T sound Tchina. followed by E as in embarrasing.

"La" is in LAtin, but just a bit longer. Laa

"Go", same as mur.

Oisin could probably help with those two.

Nice colour that blue one.

Fyre4ce · Feb 11, 2006, 01:33 PM

Apparently lamborghinis are bears on a race track. Big, heavy shifter, heavy clutch, handles like a semi. Although I've never actually driven one.

IceEnclosure · 12:10 PM

again, same location:

and down the street:

I think most of that ended with the Diablo. Although I've never actually driven one.

hickey · Feb 11, 2006, 02:07 PM

damn IceEnlosure, you a valet driver at a hotel or something??

The old ones yes. The newer Murcielago and Gallardo's are as easy to drive as you average diesel Audi A4 company car.

But Lambos [b]are not[/a] Audis (in fact, Audi is more likely to borrow something from Lambo, when you consider the Audi LeMans, aka the R8 is in direct competition with Lambo). Lambo may share some of the Audi/Volkswagon technology (really only the Quattro tech), but Lambo still does most of their own R&D.

hot cars or hot women - thats ice's m-o

Yeah, with German money, German engineers and a German CEO. Ever sat in a Lambo ? It feels like an A4. All of it is German tech, except for the engine which is half German.

The LeMans = R10 AFAIK. The R8 is their Le Mans car.

And Volkswagen = Audi = Volkswagen = VAG, it doesn't really matter since it's all the same. And since most of the tech comes from the Audi dept. it's logical to say that Lamborghini is owned by Audi. But in the end it doesn't really matter.

Just saw some pics of the Gallardo Spyder in Baby blue. I wouldn't normally consider a car in baby blue but this one does look kinda cool in it.

Why should I ? I know how it's pronounced. And there is no way that it's Gay-ardo. You could say ga-yardo in Dutch and make it sound close but not Gay-ardo in English.

And giving Germany a bad name. If anyone likes the Lambos but find they are too expensive, don't worry, the real VAG sporty brand is SEAT, crappy spanish car maker, a great sporty brand whose model line-up comprises four monoboxes and a supermini, sporty band they say… HAHAHAHA what a bunch of morons.

What's that place called if I may ask ?

I dont like the 6 series all that much, especially with those ugly ass rims. However, the M6 is a thing of beauty. I realize im a hypocrite.

I agree, and I like the new M5 even more.
