Hey Tony Merry Christmas and a non sober new year!!! It's good to see a diverse range of Lamborghini owners here who aren't snotty or stuck up and who actually like to show their cars off rather than hide them for most of the year.

The colour of your Murciélago is incredible, really bright and fresh looking and looks excellent with the sun beaming off it.

Thanks again Tony and have a Happy Christmas and an umm prosperous new year!!!

Tony,
As I have said before, thanks for taking the time to share with us non owners that have to drool over your pics every day. From what I have seen you are the only owner on the board here that has took time to post pics of your car. I could go into how nice a car it is but I am sure you know that better than anyone. I hope to one day see one in person but until then your all I got. Merry Christmas everyone !!!!

HI TONY!

I'm the guy of the long question ever!

Really I want to thank you the kindness and real friendship you maintain with all people in this forum, sharing with us the wonderful dream that means to drive that AWESOME MACHINE!!!

You have been the FIRST USER, THE FIRST!, owning a Murciélago and sharing your happiness with all people here. Certainly, you can bet you have made happy a lot of people, sharing with us your driving experiences, becoming a part of our dreams.

I hope that kindness and real friendship be an EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW to the lot list of users that do not support enthusiast sharing with them their friendship, experiences and hapiness.

Again Tony, thank you for be a good person and a real friend.

A Spanish Bull inspires the car, a bull named "Murciélago" from the cattleman "MIURA", name used in another car of the Lamborghini Brand "Lamborghini Miura" it shows a closer relationship between Lamborghini brand and the Spanish soul of strength and courage.

Certainly, Miura cattleman have a great tradition and history in my country, Spain, providing bulls with strength and courage to the Spanish Bullfighters.

Spain is a country of ancient traditions, probably the bulls and bullfighters are one of our most known traditions worldwide. However, I will share with you and all the users of this forum one Christmas tradition of our contry.

Don't panic! bulls are not involved!

Ok, here we go, now... In December 31, when the clock says 00:00 beginning the new year, people have ready 12 GRAPES. Each grape represent a month of the year, that is the reason we have ready 12.
So the main clock of the cities and villages in Spain (the city council clock... or other clocks from public buildings) begin stroking bells. The clock sounds 12 times for each 12 grapes. Meanwhile, people is eating the grapes at the rhytm of the bells.

The tradition says each grape will bless each month of the incoming year.

I want to wish you Tony as well as your family and ALL THE USERS AND FRIENDS OF THIS FORUM, each month of the incoming year will be full of happiness, health and prosperity.

Merry Xmas and a Happy NEW YEAR 2003 !

God blesses to all

jesus thanks for your nice wishes!!!
i know this spanish tradition.
you also eat a special cake around this time right?
it´s quite difficult to eat all these grapes with he clocks right?



merry xmas again
and a happy new year

[JESUS28]

Hi Menu dei Motori,

First, let me I wish you to you and your family a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year 2003

Yes yes, eat the grapes is difficult, that's the reason hospitals are working hard at the end of the year hahaha no I'm joking anyway.

Yes, you right is very difficult, but people here do some "tricks" to do it easier like remove the seed in the grapes and peel the skin. With that tricks are relatively easy to eat. The most complex is don't get confussed with the clock sound and follow correctly the rhythm.

A cake ? A special cake ? mmmm well I'm not sure... oh yeah yes.. you are meaning to a cake named "ROSCON DE REYES" is like a giant donut, but not exactly a donut is difficult to explain. That kind of donut have inside fruits, but not fresh fruits, I am meaning the fruits you can find inside the cakes... (don't know the word in English)...

Here we have another tradition, in that donut, inside you can find a present... by example a ring ... or a little toy for childs (something like Kinder chocolate eggs... but in Spanish version... you know)

Could be a good idea find the KEYS OF A MURCIELAGO inside that cake, but I think cake shops are not giving Lambos to the clients.

We eat that cake during January, exactly in early the second week, that time we celebrate the "REYES MAGOS" another holiday, like Santa Claus, but here we do not celebrate Santa, we celebrate "REYES MAGOS".

Tradition says in the night, childs, are visited by the Three Orient Kings, the same that they gave presents to Jesus Cristh when he was born.

Childs here are writting letters to the Three Orient Kings during November and December, to tell them what presents they want to receive.

THEY SAY ... I WANT A LAMBOOO I WANT A LAMBOOO!!

In Xmas we don't have any other traditions than these, people drink Champgne, but I prefer German beer (the best!) if possible my loved beer L O W E N B R A U

Again, Merry Xmas !!

Jesus28,


thanks for your long explanation of these spanish traditions!
i have had 3 years of spanish at a german school but i had big problems to learn this language. i don´t know why i found it so difficult. maybe i didn´t learn enough.

para ti y tu familia, feliz navidad también

(plz don´t answer in long spanish sentences because i wouldn´t understand them)

[JESUS28]

Hi Menu dei Motori,

It's nice to hear you had learn Spanish in Germany. Unfortunately I don't learn German, but I like a lot how it sounds.

German is very very very complicated too because the same as Spanish have latin roots, and verbs are difficult to handle.

In Spain we welcome every year a lot of people from Germany and certainly, german people likes a lot our country. An automotive example: Ferdinand Piëch (the Volkswage CEO) have a mansion in Spain in the Canary Islands.

If you want a spanish teacher for free, to learn Spanish, then add me to your mesenguer contact list. I will be happy to hear from you and talk about Lambos.

I had heard the word "MURCIELAGO" is difficult to pronounce to the english and german people. Ok, I promess you to teach how say MURCIELAGO in perfect Spanish with perfect Spanish accent.

Tony if you want a friend here in Spain, add me too
