Tech Session with my LP640 at Lamborghini Bellevue

My LP640 Roadster is having the engine pulled this week and will be the subject of a tech session this Saturday, March 28 at 1:30 PM at Lamborghini Bellevue on 13817 NE20th, behind the Jaguar/Land Rover dealership in the service department. (We'll probably have lunch at Desert Fire before.)

This will be an interesting session where you will get to see a Lamborghini LP640 Roadster in pieces and see how they are put together and have a mechanic answer your questions about the car. If you've always wondered what's REALLY under the hood, (and why my car's so damn fast ) this will be a good session. This is the only LP640 roadster in the state and it's rare to get this kind of a look so please come out and see how many little parts there actually are!

If you want to attend, PM me so we have some idea of how many want to come out.

^LMFAO...

I think I'll bring the camera to this one. May be my only chance to see a Lambo that's intentionally in pieces.

For the record, you can be a dick if you want. I knew there would be posts like this. I could have kept this quiet and just let them fix it. I'm allowing Lamborghini to take parts of my engine apart to show people who are interested. If you have nothing useful to add, don't show up.

I can see you can't take a joke either but you sure can tell us all how great your LP640 Lamborghini is everyday.. I wish I was as cool as you .. I couldn't afford the gas to drive all the way up there anyway..

Yup, take all the pictures you want. The engine will be out and Josh is going to take apart the e-gear to show how it works.

I don't think anyone was trying to be a jerk, I thought it was a funny reference to the origins of the company.

My car happens to have an airplane engine in it, with a worthless little propeller on the front that won't spin.

Yea, I know which is why I said it wouldn't plow. My issue is the reason people don't post more often is because everything is expected to be an welcome joke. The RTC event has demonstrated how many brand bash and we took a lot of heat pulling that together as it was before things finally calmed down. The last thing I want is for this to go in the same direction. I thought carefully about if I wanted to open my car to the community. Lamborghini Bellevue normally keeps tech sessions focused on owners. I thought it would be more interesting to just keep the car open to what it is, good and bad. There is a lot of misinformation about brands and I didn't want to hide anything about my car, good and bad, therefore, I said it would be okay and that I'd post something here.

Which I thought was a decent (and funny) comeback.
