That lp640 is hotttt in that pic.

Isn't "Fire" sort of synonymous with "Lamborghini"?

No, that's more of a Ferrari thing. Although some Lambos have tried to copy them.

What a terrible thing to say

Thats weird, I didnt even put that pic in there. It needs some flames out the back.

They also recall Gallardos in China with same problem.

I thought it was funny have some humor its only a car and Lambos don't have the best reputation for reliability LOL

Hi Marc

I too like to laugh however I find some issues sensative.

As for the reliability of Lamborghini's; I was not aware that this was an issue today; in fact it remains my understanding/experience that by and large the gals aka Lamborghini’s are very reliable.

You take care

Shadow, relax mate. It's only a little humour.
