No I wasn't at a car show, I was only in the streets of Auckland.
DO I have a AF record for seeing the most non-car-show Diablo's in one day??????

Wow! That's quite the day! I've never seen a Diablo outside of a show or dealership...Were the 3 Diablos together, or did you see them at different times in different places?

When I used to live in Florida, I used 2 see Diablos and Countachs on a daily basis. Now, I've seen 2 of each on any given day, but never three in one day. Dang rich-@$$ed people!!!:mad:

I once saw two different Diablos cruising around in Toronto last summer. One was a yellow and the other was some sort of funky orange.

They were all in different places, one was in Takapuna, 1 was by the ASB center in Kohimarama and the third pulled up next to me at the lights on the St Heliers Bay Rd. and St Johns Rd.

How about this one,

When I lived in Colorado I saw a McLaren F1 driving down the road!!! I thought, there is no way, so I followed it. Sure enough it was an F1.

Rich Bastard. I was temped to call the cops just out of sheer jealousy.

That's like $600, 000 of car right there! Bet the Bentley Lost, those things weigh almost more than a Hummer. I once was passed by a red Diablo, and I've seen a few at Shows. I think they're has to be less than 20 Diablos in Canada.

The Bently got its ass handed to itself. The Diablo took off faster than I've ever seen a car do before. The bently got goin real good when it hit 3rd but it didnt stand a chance in hell. It was really fun to watch. I also saw a Lotus Esprit drag a shelby mustang in the same place, three days later. Dont even ask how that turned out. :dogpile:

Come to Vegas, and I can show you 5 on any given day. Hey, if you have enough money, you can rent one. I work for the Cheesecake Factory in Caesar's Palace, and right behind us is the valet lot for Caesar's. I have seen everything there but maybe a F40 or F50, but I have seen a Mclaren F1, and a XJ220.

You are right though. It is quite typical for Vegas, but you have to love it. You can see just about anything in this town. (If you have the money!)

I could absolutely not believe it. same day i also saw two vipers and a prowler. could someone explain why Quebec city has so many nice cars

During the summer I used to see a yellow Lamborghini Diablo VT on a daily basis...it was always at the Huddle House, wtf? Anyways one day while on the interstate I saw it coming up in my rearview mirror, then I saw a yellow streak go by me. In a few seconds it was almost outta sight.:eek:

I think i equal your record as i also have seen 3 diablos in line. it was in south kensington, london, for any of you uk people out there. This is a long time ago when the design was still pretty new. The sound is something i will never forget, 3 diablos unleashed at once. if memory serves me well, one was silver, one yellow & one orange. mamma mia!

cheers,

Lamborghini's arent such a rare sight in London, in fact you pretty much see every supercar there is once in a while. whenever any friends of mine who live abroad come to visit me they are shocked by the amount of nice cars there are around here. You can't go 5 mins without seeing an M3, 15 mins without seeing a Porsche, ferrari's arent what you'd call rare and Lambo's are in good numbers too. I love this city! :D :D :D

cheers,
jay

all the time..especially just before the new SL came out, the black plastic's would be out runnnin around, sometimes you couldnt even tell what they were.. not so much porsche though, saw something that looked like a porsche once..but it wasnt...the camoe in germany is cool sometimes cause they puy some wierd paintjobs on them..Its cooled to go out to the test track for M-b too..Porsche's is closed off, i think. but the M-B one is fun to go to just see them drive the wheels off of a brand new Mercedes's...

When I lived in the South Island I saw the 2003 Smart Roadster in the plastics and in Feb 2000 I over took 2 BMW X5's with a few plastics (A convoy with 4 5-series' as well.) and then I there was the MG-ZT concept which not even the auto-press managed to snap ;) which I saw in Otago undergoing cold-test shit they do to concepts

Looks like none of you have been to Geneva in the past few years ... I've stopped by the last two summers: "OH MY GOD" The cars parked outside the Grand Casino & the expensive hotels on the north side are absolutely amazing ! Once saw a Ferrari 550 parked directly behind a Diabo :D ... rich bastards.

That is actually a bargain. The last time I was there, the place I checked was about $1,000 a day.

sorry for the late reply, and brining and old thread up, but if you're still here, i think i know the bloke who owns one of them, i'd like to keep his name off the internet for now, i'm not sure on his model, or what it is, i just know he owns a diablo.
