Amen. What a piece of workmanship, from the basic design through to the final fit and finish.
A local shop does mainly Alfas. He and I have been FF competitors and good friends for about 25 years now. His father in law was a major lawyer in the area and collected Ferraris for quite a few years. They are funny. Tom has had most, if not all, of them at his shop for one thing or another over the years and some are absolute works of art and perfection, while others seem to be just thrown together. The fit, finish and general quality also seems to have little to do with their current value.
My best desription is some models seemed to be thought out as primarily race cars and fitted out to make a buck selling them for the street, while others were to be first class road cars from initial concept.

The guy that I know that owns an Enzo was filling up his F40 at a gas station that I drove by. Wow it looks so much better in person than it does in pictures (I guess thats the opposite for the countach).

P.S. about Cannon Ball: That is one fast tractor

Oh, and I heard that countach is kinda like the Italian slang for "holy ****************" which is what a worker said when he first saw the car coming out of the factor for testing, I dunno if this is true, but its cool

you are right the quality build of lambos even ferraris are not as good as we expect it. 2 of my friends have murcialagos and there leather is bubbling and trim is loose already. The fitment and feel of some interior components dont feel great either. The thing you have to remember about Lamborghini is that they have constantly been under new ownership and their parts come from various parts bins. The exposed headlights of the diablo are from a 300zx for example. some indonesian company once owned lambo...Ferrari does get alot of their parts from fiat. just look at the cheap ugly vents in the 355, 360, and 430. This dealer with the reventon has the Lowest mileage F40 with 125 original miles and the paint is flaking and peeling on some edges. Personaly I just like the seats on the ferraris and the engine. the designs lost its course and performance is now mass produced by others.

Ferrari owns Fiat or vice versa. The fit and finish on a 355 is much better than the Testarossa and the later models got better and better.

The Gallardo is imo the best lambo to date. It has the best of both worlds, German and Italian. My dad purchased one of the first Gallardos to hit stateside and the car is an absolute dream. He did have a few problems in which Lamborghini were more than happy to fix under warranty.
