Default OT: Lambo test driver Valentino Balboni Video

Here's a video of Valentino Balboni taking a run in a in a Gallardo. I thought some might enjoy this as much as I did; great sound from the car and it's fascinating to watch the driver work his way through the gears.

Link to Video - I suggest clicking 'Save As'

The file is 33MB.

Enjoy.

ooooohhh....lambo (drool)...if only I had an extra 160k lying around (I'd go w/o the E-gear option though...pricey at $15K). I would seriously consider one of these rather than a 996TT cab.

Lambo yes but Audi is the parent Co.

Initial sales were delayed almost 2 years coz the quality was not right.

Lambos test track is Italian b-road? Fundamental things are right! Porsche excels also on natural road better than Ferrary. Take Nürburgring...

Top gear video is great! Saw this on TV a month ago.

I like Jeremy Clarkson though many, especially in the UK, do not stomach him. He is brutal on any set of wheels which do not please him.

His second last car was a Fazzazz 355
last car is a Merc Scoupe AMG and
he awaits delivery of a Ford GT

One of the funniest lines I ever heard him deliver was while testing the 3 series Bimmers. First he drove a 318i, and described it as "I drove faster in electric golf carts" then he drove a 330 and said "the engine is so smooth, it is like slipping into silk sheets with Roger Moore"...

Many peeps thought he was gay

Jack,
I thought the same thing but still enjoyed the video.

I can't believe that mlincoln hasn't chimed in here yet...
