SE30, 5 days, 1800 miles

Well I am in Vegas today. The end of the great Gold Rush Rally that started in Seattle, to Portland, to San Fran, to LA and here to Las Vegas. The group of cars had a temendous showing of Lamborghini's.

I started out to take my 2001 Diablo 6.0 Ballon White car..but after the first few hours, chnaged my mind and switched it up.

I quickly back tracked home, about an hour and half and swaped all my gear into my 1994 SE30 #8 car. I have never driven the car more than about 20-30 miles a day, so I wanted to really put it to the test.

I can say after almost 1800 miles, it was a DREAM car of a ride. Not one single issue at all. Great gas miliage LOL and drove flawlessly. The front bumper is still in one full piece...which everyone told me it would scrap every where..did not happen. The A/C blew ice cold in Cali and not an issue in the Vegas hot weather.

This car just pulls so strong and had no issue hanging in the 130-150MPH with the best of them. The interior was as well very comfy for me..the large center arm rest was very nice for relaxing and I just could not be happier.

Staying a day in LV to un-wind..then flying home. Kevin will pick up the car, as well as my 2001 Diablo SE #19, that my son and daughter operated the entire way on the rally...flawlessly as well...oh and just hit 40K miles on that car with still the OEM clutch!! Just another perfect operating 6.0.

Pics to come, I am not good at loading them on my lap-top.

Roy

Nice, I'm glad you're enjoying your cars. And that they aren't garage queens. Personally, I want to get on the Bullrun Show.

Roy doing that car swap mid way through and rejoining the rally is what makes him a true enthusiast. If anyone had any questions about that, this should silence all critics. I feel proud and privileged to share the road with him during these events.
