Donated to the Italian State Police by Lamborghini, looks pretty sweet

I think there was an article about this car in 'Test Drive' magazine a month or two back. It looked pretty mean. I'd like to see the face of anyone pulled over by it!.

Think they had this given to them last year, I remember reading it about it mid last year I think.

Hi all:

Yep. I am a translator and put the official Lambo magazine into English last year. (See also http://www.lamborghini.com/magazine/index_eng.html) To get the mag, you have to be a Lambo owner, or you can purchase it from the limited stocks held by dealers.

The story about the two Italian road police vehicles is that they are not used for "pulling people over" but for getting emergency medical kit to RTAs in a hurry.

Nevertheless, those ponces in the Carabinieri must be well hacked off that they didn't get one!

Who care - I'll stick with my beloved Octavia. It is, after all, from the same company now that VW own Lambo.

The Crabby and hairy strikes the fear of god into truck drivers, especially in the South of Italy.

Pulling you over for no reason, holding thier sticky palm out, and asking for coffee money.

As far as I know, they are higher ranking than state police too.

They are ponces though.

Yes. The Crabs rank higher than the Road Police and they think they rank higher than the Vatican. I understand that Italian males delight in laughing at them behind their backs, although they would secretly like to be be one, because of that oh-so-dashing operatic uniform.

Useful hint - if a driver flashes at you (rather than hooting:O) in Italy, it usually means a Crab speed control round the corner.

Anyone spot the London Met with a fully stickered up Lambo at the start of the gumball 3000??

Is that a standard gearstick, or modified to hold donuts:rolleyes:

There was one of those Lambo's pictured at the start of the Sardinia Rally, I dunno if it's normally there or just brought in for the weekend.
