Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / June 2004Italian Police using Lambo.....
Check it out.... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20040514/ od_nm/odd_italy_police_dc ROME (Reuters) - If you are thinking about speeding on Italian highways this year, think twice. You might find yourself being chased by a Lamborghini. Italian police took possession Friday of a sleek, 500 horsepower, two-seater Lamborghini Gallardo, which can hit a top speed of 185 miles per hour. The sports car, painted in the police's distinctive blue and white colors, comes complete with a flashing blue light on the roof and will initially patrol the Salerno-Reggio Calabria motorway -- a road notorious in Italy for wild driving. The Lamborghini will also be used to transport human organs for emergency operations. Italians - You gotta love 'em.

That's your card well & truly marked Mr Speedy Con Duff-ini! Seems as though your "friends" nr Boulogne have been talking to your other "friends" nr Bologna! I > That's your card well & truly marked Mr Speedy Con Duff-ini! Seems as > though your "friends" nr Boulogne have been talking to your other > "friends" nr Bologna! Now that's just not nice. Ackshully I'm milfly concerned that the speed camera that flashed me in Switzerland last year will cme to haunt me when I return this year. Anyone know if the Swiss police computer system bears grudges? and more importantly whether it talks to those nasty border police and checks incomming vehicle's registration numbers? (I know I could always try the 'it wasn't me' approach, but they might not care and demand a fine anyway...)

The a.shole is not an organ, although it can produce a symphony of sorts. The a.shole is a muscle. Which one begs to ask, do muscles have a.sholes? Or do they just open their shell and spit? And besides, how can you call them a.sholes? They get paid to carry a gun and drive a Lambo. Nice world. Next thing you know, Jessica Simpson will have her own TV show...... Phil ::Who always prefers tulips on his organ rather than roses on his piano. <<Nice world. Next thing you know, Jessica Simpson will have her own TV show......>> Good gods, this isn't be telecast in Europe, is it? C. lol at the italian police anyway. They'll have to keep themselves from ramming speeding cars with their lambo. The Lamborghini adopted from the highway police in those drawn is a true waste, since the Salerno-Reggio Calabria is one of the more disc of a valve Italian freeways... a true waste of horses! > Check it out.... http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=1&u=/nm/20040 514/od_nm/odd_italy_police_dc > ROME (Reuters) - If you are thinking about speeding on Italian > highways this year, think twice.

Such a legendary name, and yet it never works out... -Matt- :::who rode around Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course today::: <<-Matt- :::who rode around Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course today:::>> Ain't it a bitch?

It'd be great fun on a trackday, but in a race it'd be hellish with all the traffic. There's like 1-1/2 places to pass. You guys have fun out there... Hopefully next year I'll have something to drive (or ride) for a track day. -Matt- "..." > Hopefully next year I'll have something to drive (or ride) > for a track day. cue lowered, blown Minivan joke...... I. <<Of course my instructor friend calls it "technical".>> That's racer speak for *hard to drive fast on*. <<It'd be great fun on a trackday, but in a race it'd be hellish with all the traffic.

I'm sure it'll be fine, once you're through turn 1 it'll be parade, passing, parade, passing... Just an extremely intense parade where people will try to crowd you out of your line and generally get pissed off at you if you hold them up. Although, if they wanted to be in front of you then they damn well should have qualified better, eh? You'll be great, and if you're not you won't be the only one stinking up the track, guaranteed. I'll say it again, you have fun out there. I'm sure your crewchief has already told you if you smell burning rubber and the handling feels sketchy pull into the pits... ;-) -Matt- "..." <<Although, if they wanted to be in front of you then they damn well should have qualified better, eh? You'll be great, and if you're not you won't be the only one stinking up the track, guaranteed.>> Thanx for the vote of confidence, hon, but I'm guessing that you didn't follow what happened at Lime Rock. THAT is what I'm worried about repeating at Mid-Ohio. <<I'll say it again, you have fun out there. I'm sure your crewchief has already told you if you smell burning rubber and the handling feels sketchy pull into the pits...>> LOL. On a bad day, if I smell anything burning, I'm likely to bail out of the car completely.

Gallardo engines are made to a VW design in a VW-owned engine plant, situated nowhere near Italy. Ferrari are owned by the same family-owned holding company which owns FIAT Automotive.
