Question A question about room !!

Hi All,
I am thinking about buying a Lambo in the next two years or so. I recently sat in a Countach and couldnt believe how small the cabin is. So small in fact that I couldnt drive it as the wheel was between my knees.
As I live in Outback Australia I dont see alot of Lambo's around , so I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me if other models like the Diablo are big enough for a bloke of 6' 3" or 188cm. Thanks, Harley-Thommo

I am 1,82, have bodybuilder shoulders and legs, so imagine.
i been inside murcielago and was big enough, but if u order the car from the company directly, u can ask them to make seat bigger and have more space. this is what mechanics there told me in sant'agata
which model u would like to buy?

i am also waiting the right one to buy it in 1, max 2 years. I'm interested in murcielago, or a roadster(if will have a glass top cover) or a special version with more bhp

no room

Hi Jtrader,
Thanks for the reply. I,m looking at a Diablo, as the murcielago is to much$$$ for me. Sounds like you know what you want though. I wish that I lived in the states, then I could afford a newer model. Harley- Thommo.

Hi JT

Hi Jt,
How much is a Murcielago in Italy?. I know that here in Australia they sell for between 2 and 400 k. Thats about a minimum of 160k US. A lot of money, The trouble is we drive on the opposite side of the road to the Yanks so if I import it costs a fortune to convert the steering. I guess that I will just have to keep saving mate . Take it easy, Cheers.

wrong bull

Hey JT,
I made a mistake on my last email . Its actually Diablos that sell for 2 to 400k, a Murceilago will set you back around $600 000 over here. So how much for a Diablo over there ?. Mark T

HARLEY:

Hi,
you should check UK's market, maybe you could find an used one already modified with the driving wheel on right! I think in Japan too they also use the same side as Australia... the only problem is the cost of importing a Diablo overseas!!

Is required by law that the driver has to be on the inside of the lane? I've seen a bunch of RHD cars in Canada, but I dont know what its like in Italy or Australia

I m not sure, but they told me you can have a car(european version) with drive on left and drive in australia or england, is not unlaw.
and about for looking for a diablo, if u really like it is possibly to find in italy at a very good price. I am in contact with dealer in milan(we have only to dealers here, one in milan other in rome) and i can ask him to find the diablo u want, otherwise with just little money more you can afford a murcielago. Also near milan(at about 2 hours from there) we have tuner of lamborghini(affolter and kauffman) which they can turn it into a double turbo of more then 800bhp, changing exaust pipes into 110-120mm, spoiler, lowering, telecameras for retro and others.

Let me know coz if interested i will get informed on how to bring it in australia

The car has to be over 15 years old i believe for it to be legal. I know a guy with a 89 skyline gts-t and its RHD but im pretty sure the car has to be over 15 years old for u to be able to insure it.
