Welcome
to
the
March 2013
issue
of
The Bull’s
Roar.
I’m always saying this but I apologise
for the delay in this issue. This time it
has related entirely from my end as
I have been in the middle of setting
up two new businesses. For those
who’ve been involved in doing that
and shop fitouts, I’m sure you can
appreciate that your time quickly
disappears - especially when you are
a mother as well.
For the more astute readers, you can
be excused for thinking the dates
and issue numbers in last magazine
were all over the place. They were.
In preparing updates to this issue it
seems I was having a bet each way
in a number of places. For this I
apologise.
I have some exciting news. Although
I will prepare the next issue (June
2013 - largely because I’ll be on
the European tour) we will have a
new editor from September 2013.
James Hodge (Canberra member)
has very kindly agreed to step into
the role of the new editor then. He
recently changed Lambos - to the
lime green Gallardo Balboni (the
only one of that colour in Australia
to my knowledge). I had eyes on
that car for some time while it was
for sale here in Brisbane and it is
just a magnificent beast. James will
bring not only his enthusiasm for the
Lamborghini marque but also his IT
expertise to the magazine. Plus he
writes beautifully. Thanks so much
James.
Keep up the content members. You
are all fabulous. I already have some
material for the next issue and I
thank you for getting it ‘off-yourchest’ quickly.
Regards

Magazine Publishing Dates
We print four issues a year but to help us achieve this
goal, we need help from you. Please send us any articles,
photos, etc., that you think are worthy of being published
in the magazine by the appropriate date below. If the
article is original and respectful, we will print it. If you have
sent us something but haven’t seen it in the magazine,
call us! No article is too small—everything can fill a space.
Our preference is for text to be sent to us in Microsoft
Word format and images to be sent separately in JPEG

Past President’s Report
W
elcome to Issue
61 of The Bull’s
Roar.
Well here we are, well
and truly into 2013 –
the year that marks the
golden anniversary of
Lamborghini. Automobili
Ferruccio Lamborghini
S.p.A was founded by Mr
Ferruccio Lamborghini
back in 1963, 50 years
ago. Mr Lamborghini was
born on the 28th April
1916 so he was 47 years
old when he founded the
Lamborghini car company.
Like many of you I’m
sure, I have pulled out a
number of my treasured
Lamborghini books from
my library to re-read
them, re-live some of that
history and the stories of
Lamborghini from the good
old days. How the company
ever survived is a miracle,
however it did and I think
that the entrepreneurship,
drive and pure genius of Mr
Lamborghini engrained a
culture within the company
that helped it survive
through the 70’s, 80’s
and 90’s. Under Audi’s
ownership Lamborghini
has gone from strength
to strength and it is now
recognised the world over
as one of if not the ultimate
manufacturer of exotic
cars.
March. I think the pictures
tell the story . . . wow what
an amazing looking car . . .
imagine driving that thing!
I write this Presidents
Report as my last. Most
of you will be aware
that back in December I
announced my decision
not to renominate for the
President’s role again in
2013. As I mentioned by
email at the time I have
been thinking about the
future of our Club for some
time and for me to carry on
in the role would be doing
so for the wrong reasons.
I am as passionate about
Lamborghini (and our
Club) as ever before and
genuinely excited about all
of the events planned for
2013 to celebrate 50 years
of Lamborghini, however,
I just think the time is right
for a change. I think it’s
Lamborghini being
Lamborghini had to do
something special for
their 50th Anniversary.
Following the launch of the
Aventador Roadster I think
everyone was focussing
on the events to celebrate
the 50th Anniversary and
then out of nowhere they
launched the Veneno at
the Geneva Motor Show in
Ferruccio Lamborghini

time for some fresh blood
and some fresh ideas to
enable to Club to take the
next step and to continue
to grow.
There is no doubt that
that the future for The
Lamborghini Club of
Australia is all about the
news cars and like all of
the others clubs around
the world the challenge is
to embrace the history and
heritage of Lamborghini
and ensure we continue to
get the owners of the older
cars to bring them to club
events and participate on
runs etc.
I am delighted to advise
you that Michael Warshall
has been elected as your
new President and Paul
Cooke as the Secretary
/ Treasurer. Gary Overs
remains on the committee
Past President’s Report ... continued
and I have also been
elected onto the Committee
for 2013 which will enable
me to complete a smooth
transition with Michael.
I would like to thank our
outgoing Secretary /
Treasurer Alan Rettke
for his hard work over a
number of years, to all our
State Coordinators and to
everyone involved with the
Club who has done their
little bit. It all helps, thank
you.
I also must say a big
thank you to my better half
Michelle for all her time and
effort to put together our
magazine - The Bull’s Roar.
Thanks xxx :-). Australia
is a big country and the
Club magazine is our life
line which I think keeps
the national club together.
There is no doubt our
magazine is world class.
Editing the magazine is a
time consuming thankless
job and we need to support
her and encourage her to
keep going for just a wee
bit longer!
from NSW, Vic, QLD
and WA, which is a great
spread. From memory five
people are shipping cars,
four are hiring cars and
one is shopping in Europe
as I write this! Of this, five
or six will be joining The
Bull’s Roar Tour IV. There
will also be a number of
other people from Australia
who will be there to support
those of us participating
and even though they are
not bringing a car it will be
great for them to be there.
Can’t wait!
So, onto the 50th
Anniversary. The official
Lamborghini event
– the Grand Giro is
oversubscribed and now
closed. I’m told in excess of
350 cars will be attending.
No more plugs from me, if
you are going we’ll see you
there if not you can read
all about it in the motoring
publications across the
world, including The Bull’s
Roar!
By the time you read this
Auto Italia will have been
and gone which is our first
opportunity to celebrate
50 years of Lamborghini in
Australia.
I’m delighted to advise
you that we have (at least)
ten people participating in
the Lamborghini Giro from
Australia. We have people
RACQ Motorfest to be held
in Brisbane on Sunday
14th July and of course
Motorclassica.
Motorclassica is Australia’s
premier concours
d’elegance and classic car
show and will be held in
Melbourne from 25 – 27
October 2013. This will
also be the weekend for
our national meet and we
are promising some big
surprises and some very
special cars . . stay tuned!
All Lambo owners MUST
make the effort to attend
this event . . . with their car.
Take care – safe motoring!

President’s Report
I write to you as the
new President of the
Lamborghini Club of
Australia.
I am honored to be elected
and I am looking forward
to working with the rest
of the committee to
bring you, the members,
opportunities to get
together and share our
mutual passion about
cars and especially
Lamborghini.
Let me tell you a little
about myself.
I studied Chemistry, did
not like it and decided
to be a professional
photographer instead.
My parents were not
impressed and asked me
how I was going to eat, as
they could not see how
one could earn a living
from this profession.
am also the Executive
Director of the Nulab
Group who specialize in
high end printing, signage
and design not only for
professionals but also
for consumers under our
Nushots brand.
Portrait photography is
my other passion besides
cars, and it has been good
to me. I have travelled
the world, meeting and
photographing incredible
people from Mother
Teresa to Rod Stewart. I
get a buzz as my portraits
hang in some of the best
homes and palaces around
the world.
My love of cars started
back in school and my first
car was a lime green XU1
Torana, which I took to
drag races and track days.
I then progressed to
GT Falcons and finally
acquired my first Porsche
in my mid 20’s. Over the
years I have owned and
driven many fine cars.
Over the years my
business evolved and now
besides photography I
I am not a collector but a
user. My first experience
6
with a Lamborghini was
in the mid 1970 where I
sold my Porsche Turbo
and purchased the Urraco
P250. What a beautiful
looking car.
I went to pick it up from
the dealer, drove out of
the yard, put the indicator
on and the stalk came off
in my hand.
Had the car for about
one year and I think I
drove it for only about 2
months. There was always
something wrong. Car got
sold and I went back to
the German reliable cars.
But the Urraco was such a
beautiful car especially for
those times.
President’s Report
continued
When Audi took over
Lamborghini, there were
visible improvements, or
as I would say the cars
became Germanized. My
car is an everyday drive,
and it is easy to drive and
works all the time. What a
change from the old days.
I seem to keep my cars for
18-24 months and then
get a new one. After the
Porsches, I had multiple
Ferraris, Maserati’s, Aston
Martins, Bentleys, Rolls
Royce’s, BMW’s, and
Mercedes to name a few.
of events, especially
track days to enable our
members to “stretch the
Bulls legs as they say”
The last five cars have
been Gallardo’s with the
current one a Metallic
Green Performante
Convertible.

I’m delighted to take over
from Alan as Secretary
/ Treasurer and support
Michael as President. I
was asked the other day
if I thought owning a
classic car was a good
investment. The answer
of course is - sometimes.
What is interesting is the
current rise in quality /
premium classic vehicles.
This could be a function
of international investors
increasingly fed up with
fixed interest performance
or renewed confidence as
a result is the improved
stock market conditions. I
am sure experts like Mark
Jansen and Jeff Dutton will
have strong views on this
topic.
Like many of you, I read
Car and Classic, Octane
and Classic and Sportscar
magazines. They regularly
make reference to the HAGI
index. I was only vaguely
aware of the HAGI index
but I thought it might be of
interest to club members.
the sector and create the
initial foundations for an
investment
infrastructure
into this long established
area of ‘passion’ investment.
HAGI runs a proprietary
database
of
actual
transactions in the sector
for rare classic cars. Data
is sourced from four areas:
Private transactions, dealer
transactions,
marque
experts and auction results.
HAGI describes itself as
an “independent research
house and think tank with
specialised expertise in
the rare classic motorcar
sector”.
The Historic Automobile
Group International (HAGI)
is a London based research
organisation in the area of
rare historic motorcars and
collectors’
automobiles.
HAGI is known for its classic
car market indices, which
have been calculated since
December 2008, based
on a proprietary market
capitalisation
formula
called “survivor weighting”.
Founded in 2007 HAGI has
strong established links with
members of the financial
industry. The purpose of
the research initiative is to
improve transparency in
HAGI claims more than 300
individual members from
more than 15 countries.
The group has developed a
set of professional indices
(HAGI Indices) and releases
index data on a monthly
8
basis for four indices. Refer
to the table on the next page
for the February 2013 data.
Now in the real world, what
does this mean? Ferraris
tend to be a leading
indicator for Lamborghini
and other premium marques
and helps explain the huge
rise in the top end models
(Miura, Early Countach,
400 GT etc) - these have
permanently priced in their
investment grade status.
It also explains other early
cars increasing now Isleros are now $150k + (
up from $80k a few years
ago). I think other early V12
cars are now showing early
signs of appreciation (i.e.
Espada, Jarama ). Partly its
a HAGI trickle down effect,
partly a function of their
restoration costs ( @ double
their current sale value) and
reminder of their relative
rarity.
Their production
volumes are minuscule
compared to current models
or similar period Ferraris (
that are valued double the
equivalent Lamborghini).
right one!

Paul Cooke
So it’s probably not a bad
time to consider an early
car for the collection. Just

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster International Launch – Miami, Florida
February 4 2013 saw the official
international launch of the hot new
Lamborghini Aventador Roadster.
Two very lucky Brisbane Lamborghini
staff descended upon Miami for three
days to partake in the festivities and
experience this awesome new Bull
firsthand.
Upon arrival at the W Hotel, Miami, a
Bianco Canopus Aventador Roadster,
or Matt White in easy terms, greeted
the guests, setting the scene for the
days ahead.
Monday Day 1 was mostly spent
looking around South Beach with
a bit of Jet Skiing in the Atlantic
before joining some members of the
Lamborghini Factory for dinner and
drinks and a presentation of things
to come for 2013. By this stage
everybody was eager to get behind
the wheel of the Roadster but that
would have to wait until the following
day where everyone headed to
Miami International Speedway. In
true Lamborghini style we were
transported in a completely black
bus with police escort - sirens and all.
Very dramatic.
While we waited we were shown some
new products coming for Lamborghini
in the form of exhausts systems for
both Aventador and Gallardo. We
also had a static presentation of the
new Roadster and had a chance to
see how easily the new roof system
is removed and installed as well as
how well it can stow away in the front
hood compartment.
Tuesday Day 2. Everyone arrived at
Miami speedway and was greeted by
12 Aventador Roadsters in various
colours along with a large contingent
of Lamborghini staff decked out in the
new Lamborghini Clothing. We were
split into groups and unfortunately
our group would have to wait until
after lunch before we hit the track!
Lunch came and in Italian style
nobody seemed to be in a hurry. It
looked like rain clouds were forming
and we were eager to jump in before
they came any closer. Luckily the
weather stayed perfect and we got
our chance to drive the cars. What an
experience!

amazing car to drive and felt every
bit as stable and solid on the road as
the Coupe version. Unlike most other
open top cars there is no noticeable
difference in the handling of this car
and we were able to test at some
pretty high speeds. Although Miami
Speedway is a banked oval track
with a small infield section we could
still reach speeds of 160mph (over
250kph!) in some sections and got to
experience both slow and high speed
corners. We tried several different
Roadsters throughout the afternoon
and had to be dragged away at the
end so they could close the track.
This car will not disappoint those
fortunate enough to own one and we
cannot wait until we have a car in our
showroom.
As a fitting end to the day the
Lamborghini GT3 factory driver took
us for some hot laps in the 2013
Super Trofeo Racecar and this car is
very impressive given the age of the
Gallardo. Cannot wait to see what
replaces this car in 2014!
We finished the day with a dinner at
a very exclusive Italian Restaurant in
South Beach and were joined by some
of the top people at Lamborghini
including Stephan Winkelmann.
Overall this was truly a once in a
lifetime experience, and one that will
be very hard to top with any other car
launch. The hype already generated
both locally and globally with this
latest offering from the Home of the
Bull is quite amazing, and it won’t go
13
unnoticed once it hits the Australian
shores later this year.
Brisbane Lamborghini is currently
taking pre-orders for this new
beast – call Franco Giammattei on
3252 9099.

VENENO
LAMBORGHINI VENENO - A RACING PROTOTYPE AND ROADGOING SUPER SPORTS CAR
04 March 2013
Geneva/Sant’Agata
Bolognese,
04.03.2013 – In the year of its 50th
anniversary Automobili Lamborghini
is presenting an extremely exclusive
model at the Geneva Motor Show
2013. Only three unique units of the
Lamborghini Veneno will be built
and sold. Its design is consistently
focused on optimum aerodynamics
and cornering stability, giving the
Veneno the real dynamic experience
of a racing prototype, yet it is fully
homologated for the road. With a
maximum output of 552 kW / 750
hp, the Veneno accelerates from 0 to
100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and the
top speed for this street-legal racing
car stands at 355 km/h. It is priced at
three million Euros plus tax – and all
three units have already been sold to
customers.
The Lamborghini Veneno features
a twelve-cylinder power unit with
a displacement of 6.5 litres, an
extremely fast-shifting 7-speed ISR
transmission with 5 driving modes
and permanent all-wheel drive, as
well as a racing chassis with pushrod
suspension and horizontal spring/
damper units. Above all, however,
the Veneno benefits from the very
special expertise that Automobili
Lamborghini possesses in the
development and execution of carbonfibre materials – the complete chassis
is produced as a CFRP monocoque,
as is the outer skin of this extreme
sports car. The inside, too, features
innovative,
Lamborghini-patented
materials such as Forged Composite
and CarbonSkin.
Fully in keeping with the tradition of
the brand, the name of the Veneno
originates from a legendary fighting
bull. Veneno is the name of one of
the strongest and most aggressive
fighting bulls ever. He is also famous
for being one of the fastest bulls in
the history of bullfighting. His name
became popular in 1914, when he
fatally wounded the famous torero
José Sánchez Rodríguez during the
bullfight in the arena Sanlúcar de
Barrameda’s, Andalusia, Spain.
The Design
The Lamborghini Veneno brings
the aerodynamic efficiency of a
racing prototype to the road. Every
detail of its form pursues a clear
function – exceptional dynamics,
optimum downforce with minimal
drag and perfect cooling of the high-
20
performance engine. Yet the Veneno
is unmistakably a Lamborghini; it
sticks firmly to the consistent design
philosophy of all the super sports
cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese. That
includes the extreme proportions, as
well as the powerfully arrow-shaped
front end and the interplay between
razor-sharp
lines
and
precise
surfaces.
The entire front end of the Lamborghini
Veneno has been laid out for perfect
airflow and downforce. The front
end works as a large aerodynamic
wing. Large channels guide the air
to the outlets in the front hood and
in front of the windshield, as well as
to the front wheels. Characteristic
for Lamborghini is the Y shape of the
angular headlamps that reach well
into the fenders as well as the scissor
doors.
The division of the fenders from the
car body is a reference to the world of
sport prototypes and optimises at the
same time the aerodynamic flow. The
side line of the Veneno is therefore
dominated by enormous sills and
the mighty wheel arches front
and rear. Here, too, sophisticated
aerodynamics ensure perfect airflow
to the large openings for engine
cooling and intake air.
Just like the front end, the rear of
the Veneno has also been optimised
for underbody aerodynamics and
high speed cornering stability. The
smooth underbody transitions into
a substantial diffuser framing the
four sizable exhaust pipes divided
by a splitter to increase the level of
downforce peak. Large openings
serve to ventilate the engine bay and
manage the airflow to the rear wing,
with the only sealed area at the rear
being reserved for the license plate.
The rear lights, including brake lights,
indicator lights and fog lights, pick up
the Y theme as well. The engine cover
sports six wedge-shaped openings,
with the focus here, too, on optimum
dissipation of heat from the engine.
The engine cover extends into a large
central “shark” fin, which improves
efficiency during braking and rearend stability, by delivering additional
downforce at high yaw angles and
thus increasing the high-speed
cornering performance.
The adjustable rear wing’s design is the
product of Motorsport experience and
extensive aerodynamic simulation to
ensure the best performance of rear
wing interaction with rear diffuser
air flow. The exclusive alloy wheels
measure 20 inches at the front and 21
inches at the rear and are equipped
with center mountings. Their design
is also determined by aerodynamic
functionality – a carbon-fibre ring
around the wheel rim works like a
turbine to deliver additional cooling
air to the carbon-ceramic brake discs.
The Veneno is painted in an allnew, grey metallic-look color with
individual parts gleaming in the
black of the visible carbon-fibre
structure. The only car to display all
three colors of the Italian flag as an
accent is the car shown at Geneva,
the unit which will remain property of
Lamborghini. The three cars sold to
customers each feature a single color
of the Italian national flag, together
a triology in green, white and red
accents and thus representing each a
unique piece.
The Technology
The Veneno is further proof of
Automobili Lamborghini’s unique
competence
in
CFRP-based
lightweight design. A monocoque
made from carbon-fibre reinforced
polymer forms the basis of the
Veneno. It is largely similar to the
Aventador monocoque – as are the
aluminum sub-frames front and
rear – although its form has been
adapted to the new design. All
exterior parts are made from CFRP.
The Veneno meets all safety and
registration requirements worldwide,
and naturally also incorporates a full
complement of safety systems from
airbags through to the adapted ESP
21
handling system.
Carbon fibre dominates the interior
of the Veneno, too. The carbon
fibre monocoque becomes visible
inside the car in the area of the
central tunnel and the sills. The two
lightweight bucket seats are made
from Lamborghini’s patented Forged
Composite. The woven carbon-fibre
CarbonSkin® is used to clad the
entire cockpit, part of the seats and
the headliner. This unique material is
soaked in a very special kind of resin
that stabilises the fibre structure,
while allowing the material to remain
supple. Like a hi-tech fabric, this
extremely fine-looking carbon-fibre
matting fits perfectly to any form,
and it reduces weight.
The racing personality has been
transferred also to the instrument
panel. It has been completely
redesigned and now, thanks to an
aggressive graphics and to the
introduction of some additional
features like the G-metre, provides all
necessary information to the driver
for control of the car.
The
systematic,
carbon-fibre,
lightweight design of the Veneno is
not only visible, it is also evident on
the scales: With a dry weight of just
1,450 kilograms (3,190 pounds), the
Veneno is even 125 kilos (275 pounds)
lighter than the already extremely
lean Aventador. The highly beneficial
power-to-weight ratio of 1.93 kg/hp
(4.25 lbs/hp) guarantees a performance that is nothing
short of mind-blowing. Even the stunning acceleration
figure of 2.8 seconds cannot adequately describe it.
Despite an aerodynamic setup configured for extreme
downforce, the Veneno possesses exceptionally low wind
resistance which allows it to reach a top speed of 355
km/h (221 mph).
22
The twelve-cylinder with a displacement of 6.5 litres is a
thrilling combination of absolute high-revving frenzy and
phenomenal pulling power. Its output has been raised
to 552 kW / 750 hp, facilitated through enlarged intake
paths, optimised thermodynamics, a slightly higher rated
rpm and an exhaust system with even lower back pressure.
The ISR manual gearbox, permanent all-wheel drive and
pushrod suspension have all been specifically adjusted to
meet the demands of the Veneno.
The Lamborghini Veneno celebrates its first public
appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle
on show is the number 0, the Lamborghini test vehicle.
Its future has not been determined yet, but it will allow
Lamborghini to continue its activity of testing and
innovation, both on the road and on the race track. The
trilogy made of three unique vehicles will be produced
in the course of the year 2013 and handed over to their
future owners.

The Celebration of the Motor Car
Cottesloe Civic Centre Sunday 16 December 2012
This is a charity event for Kalparrin
which helps families of children
with disabilities and special needs.
It was a great location overlooking
the coast. I have also included a
few photos of some of the other
nice cars that attended.
30
People that attended were:
Steve Tyrls in his Gallardo
Mike, Tim & Jess in the Espada S2
John Torrance in his Jalpa

Brisbane has endured a
very very wet few months.
Sunday 3rd March turned
out to be no exception.
Throughout Friday and
Saturday the phone
rang, test messages and
emails were exchanged.
“Has Sundays Bull Run
been cancelled?” they all
asked. Maybe I’m getting
soft but I thought we
should cancel. Warwick
said “No . . . the show
must go on!” Apparently
the Porsche guys are
made of sterner stuff and
a little rain wouldn’t deter
a Gallardo, Murciélago
or an Aventador for that
matter! Not so sure about
a Countach, Espada or
a Urraco though . . . To
fess up the bottom line
is I don’t like driving my
classic cars in the wet.
So at 5:00pm Saturday
afternoon it was decided
we were going. The
weather was looking half
decent (Ed: it was only
drizzling as opposed to
torrential rain that fell for
most of the day!) It was
to be a family run so the
Espada was to be the
chariot of choice. We’d
invited some friends
along in a Ferrari 365 GT
2+2 (also family friendly)
and I kind of liked the idea
of the two early 70’s GT
cars spending some time
together. I have to admit
that I actually owned this
32
Ferrari for a period of
time and became quite
fond of it so it was going
to be interesting watching
the car from the cockpit
of my Espada.
the meeting point was
Lamborghini
Brisbane
and as always Franco
was on hand to fire up his
fabulous coffee machine.
Thank you!
Sunday morning came
and the weather looked
okay, cloudy but no rain.
After a quick shower (for
me . . . in the bathroom)
the car was given a quick
once over and I then
decided to go and fuel
her up. Half way home
the heavens opened up
and I thought “. . . what
are we doing?”
Given the weather would
we go the scenic route to
Toowoomba, being out
along Waterworks Road,
then over Mount Neebo
and Mount Glorious to
Lake Wivenhoe, through
the Lockyer Valley joining
the main Toowoomba
Highway near Plainland .
. . or the main highway?
It
was
unanimously
decided to take the
scenic route so off we
went.
Anyway
we
had
committed to go, so
off we went. As usual,
We were so concerned
about the weather I’m
honestly not sure how
many cars and people
we had. I think there
were about six Lambos,
a dozen Porsches, a
Ferrari and a few other
jalopies who tagged
along for good measure.
Interestingly what I do
remember was that apart
from the Espada and the
365 GT 2+2 there was
only one other “older
car”, being a 70’s 911!
Now let me set the scene
here. For those of you
who watch the news
you may have heard of
the Lockyer Valley. Yep,
probably a place not to
go given all of the rain
we’d had in Brisbane.
But we did and it was
“very
interesting”.
I
have to say I thoroughly
enjoyed the drive up over
Mount Neebo and Mount
Glorious. It was raining,
thankfully not heavy, just
a light mist and it was
quite eerie as we drove
down through the valleys
and then up over the hills
more often than not into
a cloud and then out the
other side. We followed
the Ferrari for this part of
the trip which was also
quite enjoyable. It was
there and just as quickly
it was gone, disappearing
into the mist as it rounded
another bend.
We had a pit stop along
the way and with all
present and accounted
for we kept going. All
was good and apart from
a few water leaks (Ed:
yeah . . . the windscreen
not the radiator) the
Espada was running
well. Things started to
get more interesting as
we hit the Lockyer Valley.
There were many roads
closed due to flooding
and the water level under
some of the bridges we
crossed was alarmingly
high. We hit one stretch
where the road was
flooded and we needed
to decide whether to drive
through or turn back. It
probably looked worse
than it was but all I can
say is there is absolutely
no way I would have
gone through this in the
Countach! We were in
the second group of cars
and clearly the first group
had
all
successfully
gone through. Ma and
Pa Kettle went through
in their Commodore, the
Ferrari followed at a safe
distance and we then
followed behind. I’m not
sure how deep the water
was, in fact I don’t really
33
want to know, other than
to say the Espada did
draw a reasonable bow
wave! It was probably a
30m stretch and it was
certainly a relief to safely
get through to the other
side.
After a few false starts
we eventually found our
way on to the Warrego
Highway for the final leg
up the range and in to
Toowoomba.
An enjoyable buffet lunch
was had at the Weis
Restaurant and it was
good to catch up with
friends old and new.
By mid-afternoon the
heavy rain had really set
in and we got absolutely
saturated just getting
back to the car! A little
rain was no deterrent for
the reliable Espada and
she chewed up mile after mile as
she cruised back down the range
and down the highway back to
Brisbane.
It was an adventure of sorts and
it was good fun. So the moral to
that story is don’t let a little rain
deter a good car day out. Just
think of those poor folk in England
or Melbourne!

The Big Al’s Poker Run
By Michael Hill (WA)
On Saturday the 9th of February,
we participated in the Big Al’s
poker run to Taylor Reserve. Cars
from all car clubs started arriving
at 8:30am and everyone tried to
find shade under the trees. It was
a hot day at around 39 degrees.
(Luckily there were lots of trees.)
There must have been 400 or so
cars in attendance. We joined up
with Phil’s brother; Charlie from the
Mustang club. I brought the Jalpa
along and Phil and his son Karl
38
brought his Gallardo. There were a
lot of other interesting cars so I’ve
included a few other photos.
It was a long day. At 4pm, the cars
all took off on a run to Kingsway
Oval before heading home.

Movie Stars
Take Two
By MIchelle Jansen
40
41
Well what’s that saying; It’s been
a long time between drinks? Back
in September 2009, I wrote an
article titled “Movie Stars” in which
I discussed “Lamborghini’s in the
Movies” and I had made a promise
to continue that idea in another
issue. Finally - here it is.
Back then, we covered The Italian
Job, The Man Who Haunted
Himself, The Cannonball Run,
Miami Vice, Dumb and Dumber,
Bedazzled, Die Another Day,
Batman Begins, The Dark Knight
and Goal II.
This time, we are covering Herbie
– The Love Bug, Novios 68,
Sisignore, L’Homme orchestra,
Rocky IV, Rainman, Rumble in
the Bronx, Southland Tales and
Redline.
in a minor scene. Strangely
enough, Herbie smashes
into the Lamborghini but a
Jaguar E-Type is used as
a stand-in (perhaps that is
good and any car enthusiast
will detect it immediately) so
all you see is a smashed up
Jag. You can view this (I think
in Italian) scene at http://bit.
ly/124G0Qa.
Did you know that even the
Lamborghini 400 GT Monza
has been caught on celluloid?
In the 1967 Spanish movie
“Novios 68” (Boyfriends
68), the car appears in the
background of a scene inside
a car showroom. In the
foreground you see two of
the film’s characters getting
into a silver Lamborghini
Who remembers “The Love Bug”
movie of 1968/69? Given I was
born a little after this, I can vouch
for not seeing it on release but I do
remember seeing it on more than
one occasion as a child. The Love
Bug was the first Herbie movie and
set in motion the immortalisation
of the Volkswagen Beetle and car
number 53 in the movies. Herbie
(I hate to cite Wikipedia but here
goes) “has a mind of his own and
is capable of driving himself, and
is a serious contender in auto
racing competitions. Throughout
most of the franchise, Herbie
is distinguished by red, white
and blue racing stripes from
front to back bumper, a racingstyle number “53” on the front
luggage compartment lid, doors,
and engine lid, and a yellow-onblack ‘63 California license plate
with the lettering “OFP 857”.” So
how does a Volkswagen relate to
Lamborghini? It just so happens
that in the movie, a red Lamborghini
400 GT 2+2 is also featured albeit
Miura P400 (which we think is
the pre-production 1967 Geneva
Motor Show car). The film has
the character Emilio with three
girlfriends: Gela, Teresa and
Susan. Apparently Emilio is not a
traditional playboy; just a lovesick
puppy who suffers from ... hmmm
... you tell me. Eventually he
marries the girl who is more in love
with him.
In 1968 and in the film “Sissignore”
(Yes Sir) we see a yellow’ish 1967
Lamborghini Miura P400 pitted
against a red Ferrari 250 California
GT. A bit of a race ensues with a
42
guy in the Miura and a gal in the
Ferrari. The two cars
spin out and manage
to survive – just – but a
red bus gets sent over
the edge of the cliff and
down into the ocean – as
you would expect! The
film is also known by
the title “Dismissed on
his Wedding Night” and
is about a businessman
nicknamed “L’avvocato”
and his driver, Oscar, who is a
yes-man. When L’avvocato has a
crash while driving his car, Oscar
is put in jail in his place. When
Oscar gets out, he finds himself
married to the beautiful Maria, but
he can’t even touch her: she is
L’avvocato’s lover. And from there
the plot thickens...
In 1969/70 and in the film
“L’Homme Orchestra” starring
Louis de Funès (who was a
popular French actor of Spanish
origin who became one of the
giants of French comedy) there is
a hilarious clip from it on YouTube
(http://bit.ly/10fDSRz). In this clip,
de Funès can be seen driving a
little red Fiat 124 Sport Coupé and
he ends up in a bit of a drag race
with a yellow Miura without giving
too much more away, you have to
watch it!
In 1985, “Rocky IV”, Sylvester
Stallone can be seen driving
his Lamborghini Jalpa although
in much of the scene that I’m
thinking about we simply see him
in flashback sequences whilst
driving the car so you mostly see
the steering wheel and gearstick.
featured a gold Countach replica
being run over by a hovercraft.
The driver of the car gets out to
inspect the damage (missing wing
and a few scratches) only to have
the car taken by Jackie Chan
(doors are both up), driven under
Tales”.
You have a nuclear
attack, world war III, paranoid
governments, ex porn stars, a
super power generator and earth
on the brink of blowing up... all in
the one movie. So how then does
the Murci come into it? It appears
that Krysta (ex XXX star now
creating a TV reality show) owns
the car and can be seen driving it in
a few scenes in the movie. Krysta
becomes intertwined in the quest
to save the world. Hmmm. Yes –
I can imagine you are all rushing
out to grab this movie – despite the
Lambo (etc.) connections. Pass.
In 2007, the movie “Redline”
features a race between a
replica Lamborghini Diablo and
a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
The purists would hate the race
scene that ensues but if you take it
lightly, it will get your heart racing.
In the end, the replica Lambo wins
but sadly, the driver dies. Let’s just
say the replica just doesn’t stack
up to the real thing. If you want
to understand why and see it for
yourself, visit http://bit.ly/10rSNac.
Shot in the dark, you don’t get a
good look at the car but there are
still shots that I’ve found showing
a black car with SOTHPAW as
the number plate. In this still
shot, we can also see a red 1982
Lamborghini Countach LP 500 S
in the background.
In 1988, “Rainman”, in the opening
sequence of the film, Tom Cruise
can be seen inspecting several
Lamborghini Countach LP 5000
S’ although talk on the Internet
a truck (doors no longer attached)
and then end up in a race to catch
the hovercraft. Needless to say it
didn’t take long for the Countach
(replica) to catch up and Jackie
Chan to catch all the baddies.
In 2006, a Lamborghini Murciélago
Roadster was used in “Southland
suggests one might be a LP 400S.
It is hard to tell. There is a white
one, two red ones and a black one.
In 1995, Jackie Chan starred
in a movie called “Rumble in
the Bronx”. One of the scenes
43
Lamborghini has featured in many
movies but these days, they are
probably paying for the privilege
rather than the other way around.
This would certainly be the case if
we are talking big budget movies.
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll write a third
article in this series. Stay tuned!
