Out of respect, maybe you want to block the license plate?

Judging from the colors near the plate, I'd say it's pshop'd and fake :).

The only reason I do and I understand its a lost cause, but If I take a pic of someones car, sometimes with the owners knowledge, sometimes without, I am hosting it on my server. I am responsible for the info on that, and if a thief is looking through my pics and Likes a car, he has reference to what it looks like 24/7 from the privacy of his home, he can reference the plate and if he has an 'In' at the DMV he can find out the location of the owners home. He can scout out buyers using my quality pics of it, and then go steal the car/parts by order. I know this sounds extreme, but hey, I'm doing my part for the people who are kind enough to let me take pics of their car. If I prevented a theft by blurring out a plate, then we all win.


Make sense?

I'm almost 100% sure that Lambo is a kit car running off a VW Beetle engine/chassis.

NO WAY! That is the real deal! al those kits look off in some way, usually shorter wheel base. And don't the kits usualy use a Fiero as the donor vehicle? A dude down the street from me has a purple Diablo kit car that he made. It looked again shorter wheel base which threw it off, but none the less very pimpy. Come to think of it I havn't seen it yet this year? wonder if he sold it?:bigpimp:

Yeah, Fiero, MR2's, and ive heard of Delsol to F355 Kit cars, but not a VW beetle...
How could you tell the dif...the car looks legit to me...

I love the old Countachs who in Calgary would service such a car

The guys shops at Canadian tire for parts and service that he can trust.:nut: hehe

Heh all those cars metioned can be used as "donor cars". Frame Stretching is quite common amung kits... Ive seen replica cars so acturate you'd be hard pressed to tell it was a kit :)

There's a place on edmonton trail next to Pro Am Motorcycles... The name's on the tip of my tongue.. I'll edit if I remember.


Back in 95-96 I worked at Pro Am and saw soooo many lambo's, Ferrari's it was sick. One time I was talking with the owner of a gorgeous 70 Daytona 365GTB.. it was incredible! The guy was so surprised that I knew what it was that he took me for a spin in it. Awesome sound from those old V12's!! :eek:

On the contrary! I am almost 100% sure it was real based on what I saw, and what I heard as I drove beside him.

I saw it at THAT stereo shop too, ...it's real... I've worked on a few.

The shop on Edmonton Tr. is Allesandro Motors, Sandro is a neat guy, I worked with him after highschool as a partts/service/accessory guy.

A little off the Lambo topic ( nice pics by the way ) but, as for the kit comments. I had a roommate back in Kelowna that did up his Fiero. ( funny I know, but he liked it ) anyway he wanted to make it into a 355, so he went as far as to locate a company that does it and bought the video. I watched it with him, and it involves a 6"frame stretch and a wack of other stuff. If you see the movie " The Rock" I believe it is, there is a scene with a chase in San Fran and they wreck a yellow 355 spyder, thats a Fiero made by the same company from the video my romate bought.

I think that's the key there. I saw a yellow Countach downtown a couple years back, looked pretty real, then the guy started it up and my Teg had more of a growl to it so I'm pretty sure it was fake.

They definitely arent an easy car to drive especially on city streets. They require a little bit of attention to keep operations normal when driving, Ive never driven one but I have ridden in one. It had to be constantly revved so it wouldnt stall out and releasing the clutch had to be done carefully
