Lamborghini Orange County was responible for selling 10% of all Lambo production.  Circumstances behind it's closing are very mysterious, indeed.

I can't believe they are shutting they are doors.  Amazing.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

There's a Lambo dealership pretty close to where I live, I wonder how their sales have been doing lately. I wouldn't be surprised if they have sold zero since the stock market crashed.

Seems like the owner probably made some bad investments (most likely real estate) that effected the his ability to make payments to VW for his inventory.

The ghost of Ferrucio Lamborghini is slightly pissed right now.

In other news, the largest Ferrari and Maserati dealership in the southern hemisphere just opened in Melbourne. Financial crisis be damned!

In the southern hemisphere?  So, basically that means Brazil and South Africa are your only real competition, right?  Oh well, I guess unless somebody decides to build a mega Ferrari-Maserati dealer in a jungle clearing in the Congo, I'd say Australia's chances of keeping that honour are pretty good!

I went to Lambo OC when I was 12 and saw my first Diablo.  That was the first time I'd ever got an erection from a car.

Then you either:

1.saw a fake countach powered by an old V8 or beetle motor.

2.have no taste whatsoever.

Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
