The car did have after aftermarket rims..Lambo does not recognize aftermarket parts.It will void the warranty in case of a failure.BTW...Porsche does the same thing with the CGT..NO aftermarket rims.The German TUV,doesn't manufacture or sell Lamborghini,Ferrari or Porsche.
You are entitled to call knowledgeable Lamborghini owners and technicians whatever you'd like.The fact remains,they are owners and experienced people with these cars.They know what they are talking about.
Again,
Is the driver of the accident car an engineer or a metallurgist?
Has the case gone to court?
Has Lamborghini settled with a financial reward?

dear minte,
i am glad that sofar you are happy with your gallardo and it hasnt had any issues yet. it is truly a beautiful and powerful car, however the diligence the people at lambo put at work when they are manufacturing a car like this is horrible. i've seen at least 5 different murcielagos and next to 15 gallardos from various owners and dealerships and like all of them had one or another issue. i am even told by friends who work at lamborghini dealerships that the new lp640 isnt really of better quality.
you know, there is a lemon in every car maker's bin, however your gallardo seems to be the only car that is not a lemon, to be honest.
i bet most of the people you call "knowledgable lamborghini owners" hardly EVER drive their car like it is meant to be driven. they are just happy that they own a lambo but nothing more. maybe they jerk off to it in the evenings.
i find it quite a bit strange that you call those people knowledgable.
i know a guy who was doing about 23000km on his murcielago in only a few months and really using the car, however NOT abusing it. then after that mileage his engine blew. only a fire extinguisher in a friend's car saved the murci from burning down. i could go on with lots of these stories.
my point is, that of course you wont find too many lamborghini bashers on lamborghini forums. simply because they dont go there.
you find them on sites like mine, in my guestbook etc. thats where they go. to sites where they can identify with their own experiences.
as i said, most people on lambo forums are just fans, some of them MAY really own one but hardly ever drive it. and if they drive it then they pull it out on a sunny sunday morning and do like 50miles at a speed of 50mph....
now to answer your questions:
i am NOT an engineer, however i have quite a bit of automobile and technical knowledge and i have had lots of engineers look over the accident.
also the accident didnt happen on the 500km travel GBJ mentioned back from where i purchased it but 3 days later on a sunny sunday afternoon.
the case was in court once because of "bodily injury caused by negligence" where i won because it was highly improbable or next to impossible that a driving mistake could have resulted in that kind of accident and skidmarks.
the case will probably soon be in court again because right now - about 2 weeks ago - i found the first thing where i may really be able to sue lambo for the first time. first the only thing i could do was to speculate on the cause of the accident and to show the poor quality it was built, now i got FACTS, facts confirmed by lamborghini president's right hand. i now KNOW that my car was faulty. the only thing i need now to win in court is an expert who examines the same type of car with the same failure and confirm that this was most likely the cause for my accident. and thats exactly what is being done right now.
of course lambo didnt settle with a financial reward at all, because that would be like a confession of their mistake. their mistake which will be proven in the end, believe me. i will not give up before i got this done.
and also believe me that i wouldnt make such a hassle about the story if i wasnt 1000000% sure that it was a failure with the car.
and as vlad already said: if not everything on my site would be 100% true and i wouldnt be able to prove what i am saying, then lambo would have taken my site down long ago, and believe me, there are MANY people who believe what i am telling and they make a huge way around lamborghini in the future.
regards,
Xato
